Pat Jedlicka is our new Superintendent. We thank her for taking on this ministry of the church. Also, we thank Chris Zimmerman, who served the church for 10 years as our Superintendent. Chris will continue to teach.
Care Committee
Would you like to help share the care of Living Hope Lutheran Church with our members? A Care Committee is being formed to reach out to our own members. The committee will help with praying for the sick, sending out greeting cards, and helping the Pastor with sharing the Christian care of the church for the needs of our members.
Please contact Pastor Howard if you would be able to share in this ministry. Thank you for your consideration.
