**Lutheran Summer Music 2026 Recap from Renzo!**

Hello, LCHope!
I got back from Lutheran Summer Music a few weeks ago, and I would like to report that my time there was incredible. LSM, is a place where high school musicians come together to play music and make friendships. I heartily enjoyed my time playing percussion in the LSM symphonic band, learning to play timpani and vibraphone for the first time, participating in a percussion ensemble, and making tons of friends from all over the country. It was so cool to be around other musicians and to make musical friends. I’ve never really had a group of friends that are into music the way I am, so that was really special. Everyone there was so excited to learn and to play together, so it was really amazing to be a part of that. During my time at camp, we stayed on the beautiful St. Olaf College campus in Northfield, Minnesota. St. Olaf is known world-wide for its music program, so it was really cool to get to use their spaces to practice and play together.
I’d like to say again: thank you all so much for your financial support. It would have been a lot harder for me to have this mind-blowing experience if it wasn’t for your generosity. LSM helped me find life-long friends, and it helped me become a stronger percussionist. It was truly the best thing I’ve ever been a part of, and I am already looking forward to next year!

Sincerely
Renzo Nickerson

Oktoberfest!

Veterans Community Project: “On behalf of Veterans Community Project and the veterans we serve, thank you for your generous gift. Our core value is to treat veterans how we would want to be treated- with dignity, humility, and honesty. Your transformational donation in support of our mission allows us the ability do so for many veterans, and their family, across Colorado.

Community Table: “I would like to express our sincere appreciation for your contribution of $3,969.00. Thank you for being part of our mission to nourish people, build solutions to end hunger, and put those struggling on the path to self-sufficiency. Thanks to you and others in our community, we distributed nearly 1.5 million pounds of food last year to working families, children, seniors on fixed income, and people experiencing homelessness.”

Check out some of the thank-you notes from the organizations that received Oktoberfest donations! ❤️

Hope Connection Community: “We are so honored to have been chosen to receive your donation from your Oktoberfest! Thank you for believing in our organization and the work we do to help families and children. This donation means so much to us and is going to help us serve so many families.”

Broomfield Rotary: “Thank you very much for your generous donation to Imagination Library. We now have 880 children involved, so your help is greatly appreciated. Looking forward to seeing you at Oktoberfest this year!”

Rocky Mountain Honor Flight: “I personally want to thank you for the generous donation of $4,000. This gift will allow us to provide four deserving Veterans a ‘trip of a lifetime’ to Washington, D.C. Your donation goes toward providing all-expense paid trips for our military Veterans to Washington, D.C. to visit monuments and memorials created to honor their service and sacrifices.”

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.

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.
