FROM HOME
SERVING OPPORTUNITIES

The Love Mason Plus Planning Team has worked to provide both in-person opportunities as seen on the other pages and, if needed, ways you and your family can serve from the comfort of your home. 
Signups for in-person serving options will be open from March 5 to March 19
  • If your initial choice is full, please choose another serving option. There are many great options we want to complete!
  • After March 19, people can sign up for From Home Serving Options until April 29. 
  • We are encouraging every person who calls Hope home to sign up for at least one opportunity.
