Highlights of Council Meeting 4/12/23

·      It was decided that during Wednesday services and Holy Week services (next year) we will leave an offering plate in the back of Church for tithing, instead of formally passing the plate.

·      Facilities reported that the irrigation system is installed and working. The roof and front door have been fixed. The coffee pot parts are on order. “Carol’s Garden” has been planted and Pastor ordered the plaque. There will be a dedication after Sunday’s Service.

·      Outreach will be making lunches during the summer months for the Men's’ shelter in Mesa. Hopefully Seniors Rock will assist with that.

·      Evangelism reports that over 400 welcome letters were mailed to new residents in the 85212-zip code. This was part of the Welcome Wagon program. We need a better way to track the fruits of our efforts.

·      Confirmation Sunday will be May 28 this year.

·      Hunger jar money is being sent to the Ukraine relief fund.

·      Pastor said he will begin the passing of peace in our services.

·      The Anniversary Celebration has been moved to March 2024. That will be our 25^th year.

·      Treasurer reported that our Wish List fund is down to $1800. We need to be very prudent.

Revelation Bible Study  -

Tuesday Mornings at 10:30am .    

              

At Spirit of Hope Lutheran or on ZOOM live. See the link below!  

https://us02web.zoom.us/j/83028896465

As a guide, we will be using a text book called “Revelation and the End of All Things,” written by Rev. Craig R. Koester who is the Professor of New Testament studies at Luther Seminary (ELCA).

ELCA Pastor, Mark Allan Powell, writes that “In a sense, to “interpret” this book is to misinterpret it, for often the appeal is to the imagination; it’s a book to be experienced, not explained.” Come, experience the Book of Revelation with us!
