This event is for adults only. No childcare will be provided. Hope Lake Weir Campus is located in Summerfield and is not golf cart accessible.

Update on Our New Church Management System
We are hard at work preparing our new online church management system! When the system is in place, you will be able to access our Hope directory digitally from anywhere, as well as find important information for your favorite groups and ministries.
On July 7th, we sent a test email from [email protected] to confirm the member emails we have on file. We also gave everyone the opportunity to set their information from Public to Private, if they do not wish to be included in the directory. During this test, we received 180 bounce-back emails. We have confirmed that this is a bug in the management system, and we are working with the company to resolve this issue quickly.
We are unsure when this issue will be fixed, but we will keep you informed via News in the Pews articles and announcements. In the meantime, please confirm that you have updated your email address with the church. It is important that we have your accurate email address on file.
If you did not receive a test email from [email protected] on July 7th, please check your Spam and Junk folders. If you are certain that you did not receive an email, please send an email to [email protected] and let us know.
Thank you for your patience as we finalize this new software! Stay tuned to News in the Pews and our online channels for updates as they are available.

New Opportunities to Support Clothe-A-Kid from Love INC | |
|
It's time to help our deserving students go back to school in style!
Clothe-A-Kid, a program from our friends at Love INC, helps provide back-to-school clothes for local children in need. This year, the emphasis will be on helping the people that are trying to help themselves.
Clothe-A-Kid is a relational program that provides families with a loving experience as they shop for back to school clothes. For those who are interested in supporting these deserving kids and their families, there are two ways to get involved.
Volunteer to Shop with a Family
Volunteers are paired with a family to help them select the clothing and shoes (following school guidelines) needed. Volunteers also help track the spending of the family while showing the love of Christ to them. This program is only limited by the number of volunteers we have to shop with families. We need you to meet the needs of your community's kids!
Shop at Kohl's in The Villages on Tuesday, August 3rd and Thursday, August 5th.
To register, go to www.loveinchof.org/Clothe-a-Kid.html.
Sponsor an Individual Kid or a Family
Sponsors donate $240, $60, or any amount (helping kids shop) and the family gives $10 (securing their spot). The total, per kid, is used to shop at Kohl's for clothing or shoes for back to school.
- Comp T4M (Fully engaged in life change) - $240 per kid
- TM (Getting to know you program) - $60 per kid
Donate Kohl's Gift Cards, check, or cash via mail to: Love INC,15797S. Hwy 441, Summerfield, FL 34491.
