Here’s what’s happening with Living Hope for the week beginning April 19, 2020.

Connecting with God and Each Other
During this time of social and physical distancing, our pastors are working to produce materials and opportunities to connect you with God and with your church family aside from our Sunday worship gathering. Each week we will be posting materials on social media and we will be hosting various live events using YouTube or Zoom. Please feel free to pick and choose the materials and connections points that work with your schedule and your personality. We won’t be offended if you skip an event or ignore our posts, we just want to help you connect in this time of isolation and distancing.

We are here to help
In these uncertain times, we are here to help.  If are in need of help with getting groceries or essentials because you are in quarantine or have lost your job please contact Pastor Colin. 

Worship Gathering Online Only
In light of the recent COVID-19 Pandemic and provincial requirements that public and private gatherings be limited to 10 people or less, we will be holding our weekly worship gathering online only.  Our worship gatherings will begin at 10:30 am on Sunday on YouTube and our website.  If you have a SmartTV or AppleTV with the YouTube App you can use the app to tune in by searching for “Living Hope Regina.”.  Otherwise, point your web browser to live.mylivinghope.ca.

PrayFirst Online
At 9:30 every Sunday morning one of our pastors will be hosting an online Prayer Gathering called PrayFirst.  This is an interactive prayer time that lasts for 30 minutes. You can join via YouTube or Zoom (email Pastor Daniel for the Zoom invite). 

Wondering how to give?
The easiest way to give to Living Hope during this time is by visiting our online giving page. If you’d rather give cash or cheque please contact Pastor Kirk who will come and pick up your gift (he’ll call you when he arrives and you can leave it outside your front door for him to pick up).

Church Office and Pastoral Staff
Due to COVID19, and upon instruction from our provincial and federal government, our facility is not open to the public. While our facility is closed, the church never closes!  During this unique period, our staff is working from home.  If you are in need of assistance or would like to speak with our pastors please call 306.539.1210 or email info@mylivinghope.ca.

Healing and Elder Prayer
Are you sick?  James 5:14 encourages us to call the Elders of the church when we are sick.  If you would like prayer for healing, please contact Pastor Kirk who will arrange a Zoom call between you and the Elders so that we can pray with you.  

Coffee with Kirk
Join Pastor Kirk this Sunday at 7 pm as he hosts a coffee time using Zoom.  You bring the coffee, and Kirk will send you a Zoom invite.  Kirk will be discussing the impact COVID19 is having on Living Hope and how we are adapting to ministries as a result.  Please register online to receive details on the Zoom call.  

The Return of MidWeek, Virtually
Beginning Wednesday, April 22, we bring MidWeek back via Zoom.  MidWeek is an opportunity for children, teens and adults to grow in their relationship with Jesus.  Each Wednesday, kids in Kindergarten to Grade 6 will meet from 6:00 to 6:45 pm and grades 7 to 12 will meet from 7 to 9 pm.  MidWeek is an opportunity to connect with friends and learn about Jesus.  Virtual gatherings will take place over a secure, password-protected, session of Zoom.  To connect your child or teen with one of these gatherings, please email Pastor Shauna for the kids gathering or Pastor Daniel for the teen gathering.  Beginning May 5, Pastor Colin will also be offering something for adults; more information will follow.

Wondering what’s going on?
Even though we can’t hand you a bulletin in person, we are still publishing weekly news.  Weekly news and information is available on the church website and in the church app. Our church app is the best way to stay in touch with what’s going on. We will update each week with the latest sermon, news, discussion guides, and pictures. To install the church app on your phone or tablet, simply search for Living Hope Alliance Church in the Google Play Store or Apple App Store
