Food Bank Fund
“When I was hungry you
gave me something to eat.”
Matt. 25:35
A very big thank you to you
Sunday School Children
who donated a total of 300 Dollars to the Food
Bank Fund at the end of June. You have as-
sured a continued supply of potatoes to needy
families in our area when the outlook was not
good. Praise God for children.
Our deliveries of potatoes to the SHARE Food
Bank in Port Moody are planned for August 8th
and 22nd. Our cost per 50 lbs. has remained at
$8.00 ($256 per truck load of 32 bags). The bal-
ance in the Food Bank Fund stands at $600 as
of July 25th.
Here are the figures for the past 3 months:
Contributions Deliveries
May $375 $512
June $765 $512
July (to July24th) $415 $256
Total deliveries for the year (to July 25th)
amount to 20,800 lbs. of potatoes plus 1,336
lbs. of non-perishable food items from the Nar-
thex.
Sylvia Ceasero, C.E.O. of the SHARE Family
and Community Services Society joined us for
Sunday Worship on July 24th. She addressed
the Congregation and expressed her apprecia-
tion on behalf of the Society and its Food Bank
in Port Moody for our faithful and on-going sup-
port. This support enables them to provide each
week some fresh potatoes for those who de-
pend on a helping hand from the SHARE Food
Bank.
“Jesus said,’the King will reply,’ I tell you the
truth, whatever you did for one of the least of
these brothers of mine, you did for me.’”
Matt.25:40.
Yours gratefully,
Claus Schultz

Mission Team Unite!
One of the new teams that is being formed as a re-
sult of the governance changes at Hope is the Mis-
sion Team.
Our mandate is to partner with the congregation to
proactively take the Gospel into the communities that
we all live in, starting with our own families, our ex-
tended families, our friends, our work associates, our
Christian School, and then the greater community
around us (especially our own neighborhood).
Our team is seeking passionate congregation mem-
bers who feel God’s calling to help take Hope to
where the people are, and, who are up for a Holy
Spirit inspired adventure. We have no set plans as
of yet, and we have no strict guidelines, commitment
dates, etc. We are a blank page seeking God’s in-
spiration, guidance and courage to act according to
His Will.
Feel free to reach out to me at any time
([email protected]... 604-512-1440) if you want to ex-
plore an idea you have, or you want to better under-
stand our mandate. We can have a chat and see
where God leads you/ us.
Blessings as you consider this ministry opportunity!
John Diack
Team Leader – Missions Team
Rodger and I have been in Mission, BC for almost
two years and have been very blessed in our strata
home, close to our daughter and son-in-law, Lani
and Mike Vetter and their three daughters. We live
on the border of Heritage Park, and that in itself is a
major blessing, as we are able to enjoy the beautiful
scenery of the Fraser Valley, and the quietness and
beauty of Heritage Park. It is a tremendous place
with lovely trails, resident song birds, heron, ducks,
history markers honoring First Nations and settle-
ment of the area and it is a favorite place for prayer
walks for me.
We joined Mount Calvary Lutheran Church in Mis-
sion, and it is the 60th anniversary of the congrega-
tion July 30th and 31st. It is a blessing also to cele-
brate with our family and friends their history
here. Rodger has served on the Strata Council; I
have volunteered with Children’s Ministry here, along
with Mission Literacy in Motion. Rodger competes
with the Mission Pool League and I curl in the Sen-
iors’ League.
We are deeply grateful to God to be able to spend
time with grandchildren here. We live only about ten
minutes away from Camp Luther, so grandsons from
Calgary come and stay while they are attending
Camp Luther or volunteering there. Granddaughters
also attend as campers or volunteers and we are
able to participate with them in some events also.
God is Good, Great, Awesome! We are thankful to
Him for our faith family, worship, and seventeen
years at Hope Lutheran Church and School at Port
Coquitlam and for His place for us here!
Praises and prayers,
Doreen Dotzler
