—MISSIONAL MARKER—

The congregation of Hope in Christ Church has made the Spirit-filled

decision to move forward and become a healthy missional church.

This week’s Missional Marker is:   Life Transforming Walk With Jesus

(John 3:3, 30; Philippians. 1:6)

  • We teach our people how to be attentive to Christ in all circumstances.
  • Our people understand the radical nature of the message and mission of Jesus that continually deconstructs and reconstructs a person’s life.
  • Our people are equipped and growing in their ability to use a variety of spiritual growth resources, experiences, and settings.

Interfaith Coalition Annual Hope Meeting and Celebration: Join Interfaith Coalition for a meaningful evening of fellowship, inspiration and opportunity. Hear from volunteers and families who share stories of compassion and hope. Learn how you can help us serve additional homeless families through a new program, Family Promise. Be part of an active and caring community of individuals and congregations dedicated to our neighbors in need. We’ll have refreshments and appreciation for being our partners in change- Tuesday, October 17 at 7pm, Trinity Lutheran Church Grace Center.

Providing Warmth to Neighbors in Need:  Interfaith Coalition’s annual Winter Warmth drive provides warm outerwear for everyone from  babies to seniors. Please bring clean, gently used or new winter coats and jackets, gloves, scarves and hats to worship services through October 15. Interfaith will distribute these to people in four locations across Whatcom County. If you are a knitter, handmade hats and scarves are also cherished. For many of our neighbors, this program means they won’t need to spend limited income on a winter coat, or do without. Thank you for sharing the warmth!
