A Day of Fellowship, Fun & Giving Back!
Friday, October 2 | Kuntz Hall & Narthex
One of Hope Lutheran Church's favorite fall traditions is here! On Friday, October 2, Kuntz Hall and the narthex will come alive with the excitement of our Annual Basket Social, featuring more than 100 creatively themed baskets, 45+ gift cards, and special items valued at $50 or more—plus delicious food, homemade baked goods, and plenty of fellowship!
Take your time browsing the incredible baskets and special prizes, choose your favorites, and try your luck when the drawings begin. While you're here, enjoy homemade soups, BBQ, refreshments, and baked goods. Bring a friend, invite a neighbor, and make a day of it!
Proceeds from the 2026 Basket Social will benefit:
Whether you've been coming to the Basket Social for years or this will be your first time, you are invited! Come browse. Come eat. Come visit. Come take a chance on a basket. Most of all, come enjoy the fellowship of the Hope community as we gather together and give back.

$60,913.53 raised. A campaign completed. A new way to share the story of Hope.
We're excited to share that our Capital Campaign has officially concluded, with a final total of $60,913.53 raised! What began as a vision for a new electronic sign along Route 248 has become another wonderful example of what happens when the people of Hope Lutheran Church come together.
This campaign was always about more than a sign—it was about creating a new way for Hope to communicate with our neighbors and community, sharing worship opportunities, special events, ministries, and the many ways God is at work through our congregation.
Our new electronic sign will let us reach the thousands of people who travel Route 248 each day, inviting them to worship, learn, gather, and connect with Hope. It will also make things safer and easier for our volunteers by eliminating the need to change the sign outdoors in all kinds of weather. We're grateful to Stacey Burke, who designed the new Hope Lutheran Church logo that will be featured on the sign.
Every gift played a part in bringing this project to life. The remaining cost will be covered through our Memorial Fund, and memorial gifts moving forward can help replenish this important resource for the future.
Thank you for believing in this project, for giving, and for praying. We look forward to seeing the new sign become a visible reminder—along Route 248 and throughout our community—that there is always Hope at Hope Lutheran Church.
Calling all generous givers and decluttering pros—this is a great way to support our Youth Group!
