2008 Time and Talent Forms
The
living God is working in and through the people of Hope!
There are all sorts of ways to be a part of the ministry and
mission of Hope Lutheran Church, using your own God-given
gifts and talents. Take a look at all these opportunities,
and prayerfully consider how and where God might be calling
you to share your abilities, energies, and time in
this year. Then fill out this form individually, and return
it in the offering plate on Sunday, as we offer back to
Christ’s service what God has first given to us—“our selves,
our time, and our possessions, signs of God’s gracious
love.”

Fall 2007
Devotional Series--"Everything
Is Gift"
This series of devotions and preaching in worship over the
next two months are about recognizing what it means to say that
everything in our
lives is a gift
from God, and what that does to free us up in the ways we use
and receive and share those God-given gifts. If you’ve got
those three words down, you understand a great deal of what the
Christian faith and life is all about. The trouble is, there is
a lot to be said in those three simple words, and so we are
inviting you to spend time exploring what it means that
everything is
gift....
