Thomas, Pastor Scott, and Kelly are on the Mystery Trip this week! We'll be checking email periodically, so responses may be delayed. If your request is urgent, please contact Greg at Greg@lchope.org or reach out to the church office. Be sure to check your email for daily Anchor updates to follow the Mystery Trip and see where the group traveled each day!
Pastoral Emergencies:
Call Pastor Scott's direct line at 303-460-9579. Monday the 6th through Monday the 13th, Pastor Randy is scheduled to be on call and can be reached by dialing this number for any pastoral emergencies.
LCHope is now in their new fiscal year 2026/2027! General Fund 25/26 and Building Hope for the Future Fund have now been deactivated. If you need a reminder of the amounts pledged to the 26/27 General Fund OR to the Passing on the Faith - Building Pledge Fund, email Beth at finsec@lchope.org. Make sure your recurring giving has the correct dollar amount and the correct fund name.

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. There will NOT be an Anchor sent out on July 16th.

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.
