Hope's Mitten Tree will be planted in the Welcome Center from November 12th through February 2024. On it, Hope collects new hats, gloves, mittens, and scarves to benefit men, women, and children in Southeast Michigan who need the gift of warmth.

Hope is "adopting" two large families through Neighborhood House and will be providing them with complete Christmas experiences including toys, clothing, gift cards, and wrapping paper.  A small group from Community Service Team receives the wish lists and does the shopping but what is needed is funds to support this annual event.  Donations can be made via check designated to Adopt-A-Family, via online giving (designate funds for Adopt-A-Family) or via cash in a labeled envelope.  If excess funds are received, overflow will be allocated for Christ in Action funding designated for those in need. Funds will be collected from November 19 through December 17. Click here to donate.  

Bilingual Bible Purchase

In addition to helping local families, we are also offering an opportunity for Hope members and friends to provide bilingual Bibles for the children of Casa Hogar de Los Ninos. To purchase bibles on Amazon, please click here. 

Hope volunteers are needed to join Oakland County Foster Closet volunteers to host their Christmas Party for foster families and others in need. The Christmas Party will be held on December 9, 2023 at Hope Lutheran Church.  Assistance is needed with set up of the Family Center from 3-5pm, assisting during the party from 5-8pm, and cleaning up after the party from 8-9:30pm.  This fun and festive event provides relaxation and fellowship for foster families.

If you’re looking for a way to give back this season, we are looking for volunteers to ring the Salvation Army Bell. Join other Hope members, family, and friends on Saturday, December 16th between 10:30am and 1:30pm. Our bell ringing location is:
