News for the Week of February 5, 2026
Complete 2025 Annual Giving Statements have been Printed and are Ready for Pick up:
All 2025 Giving Data has been transferred from Push Pay into the Servant Keeper Giving Platform. New 2025 Giving Statements have been printed showing all 12 months of giving in one statement. It is now ready for pick up.
Please stop and pick your statement up at church on Sunday, February 8th or 15th. On February 16th, if your statement has not been picked up and we have your email, I will email the statement. If we do not have your email on file, I will reluctantly send the statement to you via US Mail.
Because of the cost of US Mail, we encourage you to make sure we have an email address on file. This will save the church the $.74 per letter that it costs to send via the US Postal Service. Feel free to email Beth’s office at Finsec@lchope.org with your email and I will verify that we have the correct email on file for you.
Important Notes!

“Our family would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who supported us and participated in the Liturgy of Resurrection for Ross. Your presence, prayers, kind words, and acts of compassion brought us comfort during a very difficult time. We are deeply grateful to those who helped in any way—whether through planning, speaking, singing, serving, or simply being there. Special thanks to Pastor Scott for delivering a truly beautiful message that captured Ross’s spirit and reminded us all of the hope for the future.
Your love and support will always be remembered and sincerely appreciated.”
