Dear Friends,
As we rapidly approach the holiday season I want to invite you
to consider making Hope Lutheran Church a special place to offer
up thanks to God for His goodness and blessings. This Fall and
Winter our congregation will be involved in a number of outreach
ministries to help those in need. These ministries include such
things as our Thanksgiving Food Baskets for families in need,
“Feed My Starving Children” food packaging for the hungry, our
coat ministry for those in downtown Chicago who need help to
keep warm, and “Operation Christmas” whereby children are given
Christmas gifts who would otherwise not receive any at all.
These are just a few of the many ways that we say Thank You to
God as we respond in love and service to others. I invite you to
join us this holiday season as we worship and serve in the Name
of Jesus. Please call me if you have any questions about these
or other ministries that we engage in at Hope Lutheran Church.
May God bless you richly,
Pastor Michael McPherson
