A collection box will be available in the narthex for the month of February.

Donations will be given to two local nonprofit organizations who are helping individuals & families facing difficult challenges:

Thank you SOH for your continued support in helping others.

There are 6 members of the Transitional Committee that will be meeting with the congregation starting on February 10 and 11^th, after the Saturday and Sunday service. Members of the Committee are Deb Hall, Marcy Fleming, Jackie Shelbourn, Dar Stucke, Craig Thomas, and Daryl Wilton.

The meetings will continue until March 9^th and 10^th. Each of the available committee members will be meeting with groups of 3 to 5 interested people for no more than one hour. The committee members will be asking each participant 7 questions about the past, present, and future of Spirit of Hope as will as characteristics desired in a new pastor.

Signup sheets for “listening sessions” will be available beginning this weekend, Feb 3 & 4, at the church. If you are not attending the church this weekend you may call the church at a time when the office is staffed after this weekend to sign up. 

The “Listening Sessions” are designed to gain knowledge from the congregation for our reports that will be going into the synod as we seek a new pastor. 

Speaking for the transitional committee we are looking forward to getting together with you in the coming month.

Thanks to the Facilities Crew for trimming trees in the back. They even got cookies after three hours of work.

This is how the workers finish their work by jumping in the dumpster.
