Worship Gatherings – Update
Since July 11, all public health orders that placed restrictions on our worship services have been lifted. This means that:
     There are no longer size restrictions on our gatherings
     Masks are not required, but welcome and recommended for singing
     We are continuing to encourage and practice social distancing in our seating
Kids’ church, coffee, and food service will resume in the fall.
We will continue to offer our worship gathering live online at 10:30 am and on-demand beginning Sunday afternoons. Go to live.mylivinghope.ca or search Living Hope Regina on YouTube.

MidWeek // Wednesdays beginning September 8 // 6:45 pm – 8:15 pm
MidWeek is an evening of discipleship for kids, youth, and adults conveniently on the same night. It is a moment in the middle of your week to be together with family and friends to worship God, grow in your faith, and just breathe. visit mylivinghope.ca/midweek for details on everything running at MidWeek this fall and to register for classes.

Pray First // Sundays beginning September 12 // 9:30 am
Matthew 12:13 says that the church is to be a house of prayer. We want to make prayer the cornerstone of everything we do at Living Hope. We have seen God moving in powerful ways through the faithful prayer of his people. Join us every Sunday morning for corporate prayer as we seek to hear God’s voice and boldly pray for His will to be done here.
“Father, by your Spirit, draw us close and create in us an unquenchable desire to sit at your feet and hear the whisper of your voice before all else.”


Celebrating the past year+
 
We would like to honour significant life events in a photo montage that captures graduations/commencements, weddings, adoptions/births, or deaths of Living Hope congregants that have occurred since March 2020. Please include the name of the person or persons, the type of life event, the date of the event, and one photo to: photos@mylivinghope.ca . The last day to submit is midnight on Labour Day, September 13, 2021. The montage will be shown during our September 26th service. 

Annual General Meeting 
Our 2020-21 Annual General Meeting will be held on Sunday, September 26 at 1 pm. Living Hope’s Annual Report and Audited Financial Statements for 2020-21 will be available on Sunday, September 19, 2021, on the church website or for pickup at the church.

Discernment Gatherings 
We will be hosting two Discernment Gatherings to discuss and discern whether Living Hope should plant a satellite campus in Moose Jaw. The Discernment Gatherings will be on Thursday, September 16 from 7 to 9 pm and Sunday, September 19 from 7 to 9 pm. Our Discernment Gatherings will form the basis of a report that will be read at the Annual General Meeting on September 26 and guide the Board of Elders in making the decision. 

Cooks in the Kitchen
Connecting with people over food is an important part of our lives. As we move back to full programming for the fall, we want to be able to provide quality food for welcome lunches, Midweek suppers, and other events. If you are interested in serving in this way using your culinary skills, please email shauna@mylivinghope.ca.

Events

Discipleship Foundations 1 // September 8 – October 6 // 6:45 pm – 8:15 pm
Jesus asked his disciples, “Who do you say that I am?” In this class, we will explore the answer to this question and how this question changes our lives, choices, and responses to everyday situations. Register here.

Leadership Essentials 1 // September 8 – October 6 // 6:45 pm – 8:15 pm
What is leadership? Does it have anything to do with titles, positions, or education? A basic definition is that leadership is influence. Using this influence to empower and inspire others towards wholeness and holiness is the mark of someone following the Jesus Way. Join Pastor Kirk to learn more about becoming a leader who creates a better future for those who follow you. Register here.

Family Fun at Cedar Creek // September 12 // 5:30 pm – 7:30 pm
Bring the whole family to Cedar Creek Gardens for an evening of fun as we begin a new season! Mini golf, gem mining, corn mazes, and a petting zoo are all available at no cost. Food will be available for purchase. This is a great opportunity to reconnect with friends and our church family!
