Pastor Jim will be hosting a study to read through the Bible in a year beginning in January 2025.  The unique thing about this opportunity is instead of reading the Bible Genesis through Revelation, The One Year Chronological Bible arranges events in the order in which they occurred.  This allows you to read the whole Bible as a single story and to see the unfolding of God’s plan in history.


There will be an optional one-hour check-in offered the second Tuesday of each month, either at Noon or at 7pm at HSLC.  This will be an opportunity to discuss questions your readings created that month, things contained in scripture you read for the first time, and the ups and downs of a rigorous discipline like daily Bible reading. 


Contact the Church Office for more information.

Are you new to HSLC or been worshipping with us for a while now, but have not yet become a member?  Your next opportunity to learn more about HSLC and the Lutheran Faith is Saturday, January 11 at 8:30 am.  Attendance to class is not a commitment, just an opportunity to learn more.  After taking the class, you then make your decision to become a full member or continue worshipping with us as a guest.  Childcare is provided upon request.

Everyone has family & friends who have been diagnosed with cancer. Cancer creates a crisis for
those affected by cancer, the entire family, and their loved ones. The diagnosis is frightening. The treatment is difficult. The aftershocks are long lasting. Families facing cancer often look for a place where they can find the support and understanding they need to cope with the long term effects of cancer.  It was for this reason that the Cancer Support Ministry was founded at HSLC in 2018.  Join us the 3rd Wednesday each month at 6:00 PM in the Learning Center on January 15.

Are you looking to socialize and enjoy time with other couples?  Do you want to expand your Christian friendships?  Join us the 2nd Sunday of the month at 6:00 PM in the Learning Center room 203 for fellowship with other couples, hosted by Lois and Marty Light. For information, please contact the church office. Childcare is available upon request! Contact the church office.  Our next meeting is January 12.
