The Board of Trustees and Financial Management Plan will be presenting the congregation with two spending plans: An 'A' plan representing hopes

Counting Ministry

LCHope's Financial Ministry is looking for 4-6 people who are be willing to be trained and be offering counters .  Time commitment is an hour or two once a month or so after worship to count offerings. 

 There will be initial training and annual 're-training' for all counters.  Those interested will be interviewed by Carey Schroeder, LCHope Financial Secretary and PScott as these positions are sensitive and vital to the safe stewardship of LCHope's offerings and resources.  If you are interested, please contact Carey Schroeder, at finsec@lchope.org .  Thank you!
