News for the Week of June 25, 2026
Renzo made it to the Lutheran Summer Music Academy and Festival! Check out this picture of him in front of his dorm at St. Olaf! Here is a note from Renzo:
Dear Pastor Scott and the people of LCHope,
Thank you so much for the scholarship money toward my LSM tuition. I have been looking forward to going to LSM all year, and I couldn’t have gotten there without your generosity. I am deeply grateful and always will be.
From,
Renzo

Important Notes for the Week!
The office will be closed on July 3 in observance of Independence Day.
Greg will be out of town on vacation next week and will not be available. If you need assistance during that time, please contact Pastor Scott at Pscott@lchope.org. Thomas will be working out of our South Office (Rainbow Trail Lutheran Camp). He will be available by email but will not be in the office in person.
It's important that everyone change their general fund gift to the account titled: 2026/2027 General Fund. If you want to word this differently for a more effective message, please do so.
To All Servant Keeper Online Givers who make Gifts to the General Fund:
Please remember to change your Servant Keeper Giving Starting 7/1/2026. You must choose the new account for general fund gifts titled, "26/27 General Fund". Even if you do not change your giving amount, you must select the correct giving fund. The 25/26 General Fund Account will not be available after 7/1/2026 and if you don't change the fund, your gift may be rejected. Please email Beth at finsec@lchope.org if you have any questions.
Kelly will be out of the office from July 6–19. She will be serving as a leader on the Youth Mystery Trip from July 6–13 and then away on a family vacation from July 14–19, during which she will not have access to her computer. If you have announcements or information you'd like included in The Weekly Anchor for July 2nd & 9th, please send them to Kelly by Monday, June 30 so everything can be prepared before she leaves. There will NOT be an Anchor sent out on July 16th. She knows it's early and can be difficult to think that far ahead, but your help in planning ahead is greatly appreciated and will help keep communications running smoothly while she is away. Email her at Kelly@lchope.org!

Reaching Out Changes
Definition of Change; it refers to the act, process, or result of making or becoming different, involving alteration, transformation.
Definition of Lutheran Church of Hope; Grace, Faith, Love, Community, Giving, Caring, Friendship, Believing. Will this change that we all will experience be different, yes; will it involve alterations, yes; will there be transformation, yes; will we stop being Lutheran Church of Hope, No. Change is never easy but we, as a congregation, as a community, we got this and what will never change is the fact that we are a community, reaching out to serve one another and those in need. As Lutheran Church of Hope navigates an important period of transition, please know that you are not alone. We are here to support one another in every way we can. Service hours will be later, we’re here to help, such as providing rides to those uncomfortable driving at night or assisting with online access to LCHope, YouTube, and other digital resources.
Reaching Out will continue to reach out but in a different way, here’s how. But first and foremost a BIG THANK YOU to Everyone who continues to give so generously—whether through food donations, school supplies, Christmas gifts, winter accessories, books, stuffed animals, desserts, contributions to Anchor House, clothing, toiletries, and our monthly diaper and wipe drive and monetary, THANK YOU!
Starting in June at LCHope east side door we’ll have the yellow collection containers located outside Monday through Friday, from 10 AM to 3 PM during office hours and available for all mission donations. Once a month, we’ll collect Diapers and Wipes for F.I.S.H. at the Methodist Church in the parking lot, available before and after service; look for open trunks and posted signs. Monetary gifts may be made using Servant Keeper, all proceeds go directly to the designated charity either as a monetary gift or items for the donated mission.
