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. Please do not hesitate to contact the mercy needs chairman at the numbers below, and he will seek to dispatch one or more men to assist.
