Fellowship 

At Hope we consider ALL our members AND our visitors FAMILY.  If you are here, you are part of our family.  Hope provides many opportunities for fellowship and for support of each other.  Some of these opportunities are described in the following pages:

Hope Men's Breakfast

Pastor Dean Piper leads a breakfast meeting once a month in order to share the scriptures in an environment of fellowship. 

 We meet each second Thursday of each month at 8:00AM at Hope Lutheran Church.   The objective is to have a good breakfast while sharing the fellowship of the men of Hope.   If you are interested in joining this group, sign up on the list in by the Hope University display in the Narthex..

Hope Diamonds Singles

Did you know that over. 20% of the 602 house­holds in Hope are single  member households? . . That's right! There are 122 widows, widowers, divorcees and other singles here at Hope. These. are our "Hope Diamonds"!   .

All Hope Diamonds are invited to participate in the activities of the Hope. Diamonds singles club.  Our basic belief is that the Hope Diamonds Singles club is a vital part of our church life. It provides a unique opportunity for single members of the congregation to enjoy, fun, fellowship and nur­turing with a compatible .group of friends.           .

Planed events are announced in the Church Newsletter. No­tices and sign-up sheets will be available prior to each event.

Dining Out Group

Each month, September through May, members who wish to participate enjoy dinner or lunch at a selected restaurant.  Signed-up members are arranged in groups of six or so and a group leader is assigned to coordinate date and time at the disignated restaurant of the month.   The program is on a monthly sign-up basis.  A sign-up sheet will be on the event table in the Narthex each month.  If you wish to be included for that month, you must sign up that month.  Your name will be included in groups of six with one person assigned to call the listed members in the group to find a date and time that is convenient for all to meet.  

The goal is to met and enjoy one another.  Couples and singles are welcome.

Call Shirley Kelly if you are interested in participating.

Couples Bridge

The Hope Lutheran Couples’ Bridge program has been quite successful this past year.  We have gone from about 25 couples to almost 45 couples.  In fact, the scheduling of monthly play is a time-consuming project.  We like to think of ourselves as friendly, social people and therein lies the challenge.  Too many activities in our lives!!  And increasingly difficult to schedule us for a bridge game!

 
A plan for the 2008-2009 season will include a totally new schedule for everyone.  We continue to encourage new members to join us in this social activity.  We will continue to find places for all of us to enjoy this wonderful game!

Meets the second Sunday of each month at 7:00 PM.  Call the Church Office for a contact if you are interested in playing.

Golf Scramble

During 2007, there were 90 teams registered on the monthly golf scramble roster and paired for monthly play.  Each month, an average of 23 four-person teams actually played their games and turned in their scores, which were then tabulalted and prizes awarded to the teams involved.  New members of Hope have added their names to the roster and some regular members have deleted their names.  If you are intersted in participating sign up in the Family Room.

Leaders are Otto and Mary Wentling

Annual Golf Scramble

Each year we conduct a golf scramble where all members of Hope can participate.  Beacause the Villages golf courses restrict non village resident (even if they are members of Hope)  We arrange to plat this scramble at a local golf course outside the Villages.  

Ladies Bridge

The Ladies Bridge Goup meets the second Thursday of each month at 1:00PM at the church.
