A MESSAGE FROM PASTOR RICHARD
​
“Now to him who by the power at work within us is able to accomplish abundantly far more than all we can ask or imagine, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.”-Ephesians 3: 20-21
​
Indeed, God is able to accomplish abundantly far more than all we can ask or imagine. This week, I am giving thanks to God for all our many blessings. In particular, I want to thank you, our congregation, for helping us surpass our Stewardship goal for the second year in a row. We are so blessed to have a membership that gives so abundantly so we can be the church God calls us to be. Time and time again, you all come through to help us continue doing Christ focused ministry here in Evergreen and beyond.
​
I also want to thank our incredible Stewardship team for this season: Alan Lebsock, who is the chair, Sharon Klusman and Jerry Bucholz. Dan Hock has just recently joined, too. They go above and beyond every year. It has been a blessing to work with this committee every Stewardship season. I cannot thank them enough.
​
Lastly, I give thanks to God, who does provide. God works through so many of you to provide. God works within each of us. I remain excited for all the things God is doing here at Church of the Hills. God has blessed us abundantly. We can continue using God’s blessing as we shine God’s light even as we look to tomorrow.
​
This week and all weeks, I give thanks. And I am so blessed to be your pastor.
​
Yours in Christ,
​
Pastor Richard
Love in Action
Mission of the Month
Pura Vida Ministries
Guatemala is its people; Pura Vida is creating a brighter future for children in Guatemala!
Pura Vida Ministries is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization working to promote health and education in the Quiché department of Guatemala. We are currently focusing on rural villages in the western highlands of Guatemala.
Often when trying to help the poor, people want to give. That is a great impulse. The challenge, however, is to give in such a way that beneficiaries become more self-sufficient in the long term. At Pura Vida we are working to create programs that harness the giving impulse in a way that results in lasting change.
Church of the Hills, PCUSA partners with Pura Vida Ministries through our mission giving each year! There are additional ways that you can support this nonprofit. Please find out more about Pura Vida at our Mission Month service on November 16th and look them up in their website:
“Love in Action” is the Church of the Hills mission team. The primary goal of the Love in Action Team is to serve the needs of others locally, nationally and internationally. The people of Church of the Hills are blessed with unique gifts; although the size of our congregation is smaller, sharing these gifts remains a vital part of our outreach ministry.
The “Love in Action” Committee will guide us to be Christ’s faithful Witnesses. As such, we will share a deep life of service, and participate in God’s mission to care for the needs of the sick, the poor, and the lonely to establish Christ’s just, loving, and peaceable rule in the world.
