BRIDPORT — Hope Community Fellowship will publicly celebrate its 20th anniversary as a church on Sunday morning, Aug. 6, at the Bridport Community Hall.  Established on August 8, 1997, Hope Community Fellowship was founded in Middlebury by Rev. Jeffrey L. Kauffman, who has served as the congregation’s pastor for two decades. 
Starting at 10:30 a.m. on August 6, the congregation will observe the anniversary by sharing memories, taking a group photo, hearing a sermon based on God’s Word, thanking God for all that has been learned together, and for countless blessings.  There will be a cake and punch reception.  The event location is 52 Middle Road, just west of Vermont Route 22A, in Bridport.  All are welcome.  For more details, the public may telephone Pastor Kauffman at 802-759-2922.
