Please join us for Breakfast with the Bible, a weekly Bible study held every Tuesday at 9:00am in the library. For the summer, Vicky Daub and Clara O’Connell are leading this Bible study as we look at the scripture readings for the upcoming Sunday. All are welcome!

For all youth entering grades 9-12 this fall! Join us in the Bethany Courtyard for a fun night of tie-dye and picnicking with friends! Bring whatever you want to dye, and we will also provide socks, t-shirts, and pillowcases.  The event will run from 6-8pm on July 23rd and we will have Raisin' Canes for dinner.

Join Rejoicing Spirits Sunday, July 20th, at Lord of the Hills Lutheran Church 21755 E Smoky Hill Rd. Aurora, CO 80015 from 4-6 p.m. for dinner and worship!

Rejoicing Spirits is an inclusive worship space for people with cognitive and intellectual disabilities, their caregivers, families and anyone who seeks an open, joyful and creative worship experience. We will gather at LOTH on the third Sunday of each month in 2025. Please RSVP to pastor@lordofthehills.org

For more information regarding the Rejoicing Spirits experience or volunteering, please contact: Pastor Margot at pastor@lordofthehills.org Pastor Ann Hultquist at native2615@gmail.com or Karen Ullestad kmullestad@hotmail.com “We will know what it is to be created in God’s image when all are included." 

Thank you! The crates were overflowing with 83 jars of peanut butter and 59 jars of jelly for the IFCS free market last Sunday morning!

We’ll continue collecting peanut butter and jelly for the market for the rest of July. In addition, to help IFCS stock some additional quick meal items (which are especially needed during the summer while school is out), we’ll also be collecting boxes of crackers for the rest of the month. 

IFCS will accept all sorts of peanut butter and jelly and all kinds of crackers. For crackers, they note that basics such as saltines and Ritz are always helpful but that other kinds will add good variety to the shelf. We’ll be collecting these items in the Fellowship Hall for the next two Sundays - July 19th and 26th. If preferred, cash donations can be made using the Give button on Bethany's website. 

We are midpoint in our summer food drive for the Integrated Family Community Services (IFCS) free food market and your gifts are making a difference in fighting hunger. Let’s continue to help IFCS fill their shelves and provide critical support to those who need it most.

Fostering Children Takes a Village

LFSRM’s foster families need support to help them provide a nurturing environment for the children they care for. As a foster parent, you never know what age of child you are getting, so parents need to be able to quickly pivot and provide the right things for lots of different age groups. Our foster care staff have gathered a wish list of item foster parents would LOVE for the children in their care. Please use the link to purchase needed items that will go directly to foster parents! https://a.co/2ybn6nD
