Blizzard of 1991

20 years ago today Darla and I ventured out into the Blizzard to take the Living Hope youth group to the White Heart concert at the St. Cloud Civic Center.  It was crazy.  Cars in the ditch every mile.  We arrived safely for the concert, they sang two songs to the 30 people there and said, "We're outta here".



Two weeks later Darla gave birth to our first child, Mark.  When I look back now, all I can think about was how stupid that was.  Taking my wife out in that storm, risking all of our lives and Mark's.  We really liked White Heart but no band was worth that! :)

What's your memory of that day?

Act Normal Series






Living Hope Church is currently doing the series "Act Normal". This series is based on the small group material by Pastor Scott Wilson.

I invite you to join us for this 7 week series and discover how compassion becomes normal.

The topics include...

1. What Is Normal?

2. Compassion is Normal

3. Sharing Your Faith in Christ is Normal

4. Struggles and Difficulties in Life is Normal

5. Expecting to Hear from God is Normal

6. Divine Intervention is Normal

7. Giving is Normal


We invite you to be a part of our 50/50 challenge. What is that?

Our goal is to have a minimum of 100 people from Living Hope Church that will sign up and commit over the next year to give at least 50 hours of compassionate time and $50 to a neighbor in need, church, missions, food shelf...however God leads you. Click on this 50/50 Challenge link to sign up.


Together, we will make a difference!
