Hope. It is virtually impossible to exist as a human if you don’t have hope. Even non-Christians need hope. Otherwise you are left with despair and depression. As Christians our hope is anchored in the triune God: The Father creates new situations for hope to be born every day. The Son demonstrated what living a life of hope is about. Not only did he become sin for us but also hope. The Spirit counsels us in how to share our hope.
In today’s world hope can seem non-existent. But that is farthest from the truth. Hope is infinite as our God is almighty and eternal. The problem as I see it is that we don’t take the time to share the hope we have with others. Hope is like love, it’s contagious and has to be shared. You must be willing to express the hope our God has given you and encourage people that God has and is hope for them.
So be willing to reach out with empathy and walk in someone’s shoes. See how they see life and then change the world for them by sharing a little hope.
Scott Brinkmeyer, Elder

THANK YOU!!!
You all were so generous that, quite frankly, we couldn’t keep up with the number of blankets you donated so we’ll have to wait a few days for MLM to provide an official count. The picture to the right was taken Saturday evening right before the 5pm service and all of the blankets that had come in prior to the weekend services hadn’t even been loaded yet! Then Sunday morning we received even more! And believe it or not, they’re still coming in! If you would still like to donate but weren’t able to make it this past weekend or forgot, please feel free to leave new King or Queen-size blankets on the shelves outside of room 103 or in the REACH barrel.
