Announcements

Our Annual Meeting will be held on Sunday January 25, 2026, immediately following worship. We will have lunch followed by the meeting about 12pm.   There will be a basket out for donations to offset the cost of sandwiches provided for the luncheon. A reminder that an all-church email was sent mid-December with constitutional changes that we will vote on as a part of this meeting: these changes were given to us from churchwide.

Please note: To vote, members in good standing need to have given fiscally and communed within the last 12 months, per our constitution.

We will also open up the charter at the annual meeting for anyone who has not had a chance to sign it. It seems fitting on our one year anniversary to make sure everyone including new members has a chance to sign it.

Annual Reports are now available in your church mailboxes. (in the hallway near the restrooms).

Are you tired of the offering plate passing you by because you have already given but want to make sure you are participating in this act of worship?  Please see the new cards in the red folder that indicate you give electronically.  You can use one of these to put in the plate as it goes by to remind yourself of your act of discipleship along with others in the congregation.

Budget Q&A will be held on Sunday January 18th following worship in the sanctuary.  Please plan to attend this if you have budget questions so we can keep our annual meeting moving along and enjoy the celebration of our first year together as Living Hope.  The treasurer, finance committee and council members will be available to answer your questions.

IT'S TIME TO "THROW THE TOWEL IN" in a good way!

The Compass Center Hygiene program needs an abundance of clean used towels of all sizes. The collection box in the narthex is the place to leave towels, and the Together in Mission team will deliver them to Compass Housing Alliance in February.

For those who would like larger print hymns for worship please check in with an usher prior to worship to get a copy.

 We have registered again as a congregation for the Live Project offerings for 2025 and 2026.  These are synod wide courses and bible study offerings open to anyone in our congregations.  Please look it over and join one of them via zoom as you are able.

Use our bundle code to access it. Registration Code: LiVE2025

At this month meeting, the Living Hope Council:

· The council was pleased to receive a strong and informative Investment Report from Ethan Brown with Cox Capital Management, and the nominees to serve on the 2026 council, Mary Conradi and Elizabeth Trayner, were welcomed.

· The council would like to thank and recognize this month the outgoing council members who have faithfully completed their terms: Craig Swanke, Tim Willison, Candy Abbott, and Beth Asher.

If you are giving and offering, please put it in one of the yellow envelopes found in the attendance folders or on the table in the narthex. Checks can to be made to Living Hope Lutheran Church. This helps our financial secretary track giving and allows for your yearly giving statements. If you are interested in setting up online giving please go to Living Hope’s new website and press donate.  lhlc.org

Sisters Rilee and Rose Church-Pursley, dedicated Girl Scouts, are now taking orders now for any Girl Scout cookies you'd like to order. You can order through the digital link (https://digitalcookie.girlscouts.org/scout/rose176757) or QR code:

You can also order in person via their paper cards. We will start delivering these goodies at the February 15!

The girls will use the money they earn to go to summer camp and to visit National Parks, where they will also complete service projects to help our national lands. They will also deliver donated cookies to our U.S. military troops and our local food banks. The girls thank you in advance for your support!

Thank you!

Rilee, Rose, and Lori
