Graduates – Class of 2023
Graduation is a significant milestone in life. We want to honour and celebrate our high school graduates in a meaningful way. This year we will be giving Study Bibles to our graduates. We invite you as the Living Hope family to take time before or after the service to highlight a verse in these bibles and write an encouragement beside that verse as a way to support and encourage our grads in this next stage of their life. You will have an opportunity to write your encouragement in the graduates’ Study Bibles from June 4 till June 18th.
Teams Needed
We all know the saying, “Many hands make light work”, right? For some upcoming events here at Living Hope, many hands are needed! On Sunday, June 11, is our all church BBQ, and on Tuesday, June 27, we are hosting 400+ kids and staff from Arcola Community School for a hot dog lunch. These events need willing people to plan, set up, clean up, welcome guests, and more! Think about where you can serve with your gifts and abilities then email shauna@mylivinghope.ca to sign up.
