THE ANCHOR WEEKLY
OUR MISSION
Lutheran Church of Hope proclaims Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior by
 Worshipping together
 Making disciples of all members
 Reaching out to spread God’s Word
 And providing loving support to all.
WORSHIP TODAY AT LCH
W
elcome to worship at Lutheran Church of Hope
today, and we are glad that you are here. It is our
hope and prayer that God’s grace will surprise you in a
new way today. You are invited and welcome to stay
with us after worship for fellowship time, as well as to
participate in the many ministries of our faith
community.
All are welcome to Holy Communion at Lutheran
Church of Hope. If you or your children do not
commune in your own tradition, you are invited to come
forward to receive a blessing.
Communion will be distributed by stations; the ushers
will direct you forward via the center aisle. Wheat-free
and gluten-free wafers are available at the station
served by the pastor. White grape juice is available in
the center of each tray.
Prayer Ministers will be available during Holy
Communion on either side of the chancel to the sides of
each communion station for individual prayers of
concern, support, and/or thanksgiving. Simply go to
them after communing.
If they are praying with
someone, form a line and wait for your time. A prayer
minister will also be available in the library after worship
today for individual and extended prayers as well.

WORSHIP
The new baptismal font is in construction and is
scheduled to be dedicated on Pentecost Sunday. The
new font will be made from the old altar-table. The new
baptismal font is given in memory of Leona Gardalen.
DISCIPLESHIP
Family Story Starter for Passing on the Faith: That
Reminds Me...Tell your own personal story of happiness
right now. “I’m especially happy today. I went to the
doctor yesterday. I had some tests. Everything turned
out OK,” Our children will be more prepared to deal
with their own vulnerabilities as they participate in ours.
And they’ll be thrilled that you included them in your
happiness. If your child lives far away, share happiness
long distance. Perhaps you will begin with “I wished
you were here with me today when…”

Thank You for your continued support of the LCH youth
by using King Soopers gift cards. This is an easy way
to support the Youth at LCH. Every time a K/S gift card
is used to make purchases for groceries, LCH receives
a percentage of those purchases. The cards work the
same as cash—just ‘fill them up’ at customer service or
at the cashier before checking out and use the card for
payment. These cards can be obtained from Beth
Rogers. Pick one up and fill it for your kids away at
college or have an extra one to give to a friend. For for
more information please see Beth Rogers.
REACHING OUT
Social Concerns has begun a new ministry this April—A
Precious Gift. The goal is to collect small gifts to be
donated to A Precious Child so that parents can give a
birthday gift to their child who would otherwise not
receive one. The yellow tub wrapped in birthday paper
will be in the narthex all during April. Please bring an
unwrapped toy, book, or other small gift and place it in
the tub. Like the Santa Sacks, donated birthday
wrapping paper is always appreciated. If you would like
to help with this ministry or have questions, please
email Deb Kazmierski at [email protected].
Feed the Homeless continues on Saturday, May 2. The
Social Concerns ministry is looking for LCH members to

the team that goes downtown. For more information on
