Hi everyone! Pastor Gaylene here!
WOW! Mark October 1 on your calendar as the day the drought has ended! It was a beautiful, soaking, several hours long rain! Loved it! Loved it! Loved it!! To celebrate I made homemade bread and the first soup of the season; a corn chowder with potatoes and bacon. Very yummy!
This week is Breakfast Burrito Saturday. We begin serving at 8:00 and usually end at 10:00. We make in the neighborhood of just under 200 burritos each first Saturday. Last month we began at 8:00 and we were out of burritos at 9:00! So get there early so you can get some of the best burritos in town served with coffee and juice by the friendliest folks in town.
This Sunday is also first Sunday POTLUCK LUNCH. Potluck lunch follows worship. Bring a dish to share or just come and eat from the table and fellowship. All are welcome and we would love to see you.
This Sunday’s message is another one of Jesus’ parables from Matthew. This one is about the wicked tenants of a landowner. The thing to remember is that Jesus is telling this story to the chief priests, elders and Pharisees. This story is really tough. The evil tenants forgot they were hired to tend the land not to lay claim to the land. And they do terrible things to the landowner’s hired hands as they try to bring back the crops. Come and hear the message and hear how this story plays out!
Saturday. October 3 Burrito Breakfast 8:00-10:00 unless we run out sooner.
Sunday. October 4 Worship followed by Potluck Lunch.
Tuesday. October 13 10:00 until we finish the Blessing Bag Ministry. Items needed this month: Seasonal Little Debbie Cookies or snacks.

And most important…WE NEED VOLUNTEERS!
Here at Hope Lutheran we welcome all who come through our doors. We are a casual dress, coffee drinking bunch of folks. We celebrate the Lord’s Table each week and all are welcome at the Table of Grace, Mercy and Forgiveness. Sooooo..
Come and see.
Come as you are.
Come and worship.
Come and fellowship.
See you Sunday! Love ya’!
