Children’s Ministry Announcement
We are excited to announce that we have hired Karen Gatschene as our Children’s Ministry Director. Together with Pastor Shauna, she will give leadership to the children’s ministry team on Sundays, during MidWeek and in our Day Camps. Please join us in welcoming Karen to the staff team. Karen begins her role on June 20, 2022.
Board of Elders Nominations
Each year our Nominating Committee nominates members to fill the vacancies on our Board of Elders. According to our constitution, new Elder nominee names may be submitted to the membership for a ballot vote at the Annual General Meeting (September 25, 2022) for each Elder vacancy. This year our process will provide an opportunity for the membership to suggest names of potential Elders to our Nominating Committee for consideration. Such names must be submitted in writing, supported by the signature of two other members and delivered to the Chair of the Nominating Committee (Pastor Kirk) by June 30, 2022. All potential Elder nominees must be members in good standing for at least one year.

PrayFirst // Sundays // 9:30 AM
Our mission at Living Hope is to become what Jesus envisions, and that begins with listening to Him and seeking His will. This is why we meet every Sunday at 9:30 am for PrayFirst. PrayFirst is a guided time of corporate prayer where we pray for each other, our church, our city, and the world. Join us as we watch God move powerfully through prayer and learn new ways to deepen your prayer life.
Call to Prayer // Wednesdays // 8:00 am – 10:00 am
Jesus said God’s house should be a place of prayer for all nations (Mark 11:17). The church auditorium will be open every Wednesday morning from 8:00 am – 10:00 am to provide a space to pray for the concerns of our world and community. Join us as we spend time with the Lord, boldly approaching the throne of grace in our time of need (Hebrews. 4:16) before going to work or starting your day’s activities.

Youth continues into June and begins at 6:30. The last youth midweek is June 15. Kids programs and adult classes are on break through the summer.
