April 2013 Elder Blog


Ezekiel 34: 26-27 “... I will send down showers in season; there will be showers of blessing.  The trees will yield their fruit and the ground will yield its crops...”

Looks like spring has finally decided to appear!  After the long winter season it is nice to finally see the start of warmer weather ahead.  With that in mind, I would like to invite anyone with a heart for working outside to our May 4th “Spring Cleanup” at Hope.  This is a chance to clean up our surrounding landscape in order to make our church grounds outside inviting for all to see for the summer months ahead.

A reminder that there will be a special voting meeting for members after each service today.  This will be a chance for you to vote for our current treasurer and Elder board candidates. We’re very excited to see the current board continue to grow as well as appoint a new treasurer to replace Eric Gilson. Eric has accepted a new position in Minnesota. Eric and Carol, you will be missed!

A final thought.  As the warming temps finally come to the lakeshore area, enjoy taking advantage of the change outside. Take up Pastor John’s recommendation in his recent sermon regarding relationships and spend time with God while on a walk or cleaning up around the outside of the house.  He’s waiting for you to take the first step and start the conversation.  You won’t be disappointed!
