Thirteen New Families Attend New Member Orientation - We had a great turn out for our New Member Orientation last Sunday. Thirteen families moved through class hearing about the ministries of Spirit of Hope and then telling something about themselves. We had several families that missed due to conflicts and illness. A special thanks to Lee Stadler who led the orientation, for Karen Ogren who took pictures, Kathy Barr for preparing an amazing meal and Debbie Zimmerman for covering the nursery. We also like to thank those who helped in the setup and take down of chairs and tables. We hope to have everyone's name in picture in the next Spirit Update.
Share Breakfast with Downtown Homeless - Spirit of Hope will be serving a Pancake Breakfast at Grace Lutheran Church the last Sunday in May, (May 29th). Everyone is encourage to sign up in the narthex behind the Welcome Desk. Participates are asked to meet at Grace Lutheran at 6:00 a.m.
Outreach Ministry Team descends on Transition Center - Last Sunday, a crew of willing workers gathered at the East Valley Men's Transition Center to serve them supper. This is an event that we do several times during the year. If you have an urge to share this ministry with the Outreach Team ... you can sign up for the next event in the narthex. Please give thanks for these individuals for making Christ known.
What's Up in Adult Education? Tuesday @ 6:30 pm: The Courtship of Rebekah
The Bible is regularly presumed to be patriarchal. A common understanding is that all males held power an authority over all females. Some households were matrilineal and some were patrilineal in ancient Israel. We will see the convergence of these two types of households in the courtship of Rebekah, who is from a matrilineal family, and Isaac who is from a patrilineal family.
