MERCY NEEDS AND DEEDS
The deacons are eager to assist members of Hope Church in areas of need that require knowledge a member doesn’t have or is unable to do physically. This includes tasks such as changing light bulbs, small repair jobs, dusting ceiling fans, removal of large tree limbs, etc. You may not have the need yourself but may know of a fellow member that has need but would hesitate to ask.
MERCY FUND
This fund serves members’ needs that the mercy fund committee decide warrant church financial assistance. Generally, this involves immediate temporary needs such as housing, food, utilities expenses, and/or medical care. Additional financial needs are also considered for assistance.
