What Was There A Year Ago Alexis Thode wrote the following as part of a school assignment. She chose to write about her grandfather, who passed away a year ago: In the past You would pretend You told me I miss you. Papa I will always love you and will never forget you! A Word from the Bishop  Amid all the talk of down economy, continued conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan, and congregations and members in turmoil over the decisions made by the churchwide assembly, it is important for us to remember our reason for hope.
“Northlake’s” Pastor Anenson Twenty Years as Volunteer Chaplain Retired former Northlake pastor, LeRoy Anenson, recently marked his 20th year as Volunteer Chaplain at Evergreen Hospital. During this time he has made 20,000 patient visits! His unparalleled ministry at Evergreen is highlighted in an article in the February 3 issue of the Kirkland Reporter. In this piece, various Evergreen administrative people laud Pastor Anenson’s work, crediting the founding of the Spiritual Care and Clinical Pastoral Education program at the hospital to his tenacious visits and meetings with the hospital administration.

She is a very hard working volunteer who, over the years, has been a great asset to both Northlake Lutheran and the Kenmore Community. She is a former Church Council president and is currently an active choir member. During her working career she worked for Safeco Insurance Company. Since retirement she has spent many hours each August helping sort, hang and label the Kenmore Art Show. Before Safeco was sold, the company paid retired employees for their volunteer hours…..with this person designating a non-profit to receive the funds. Because of her efforts with the Art Show for several years, Bobbi has been able to designate several nice checks to the Show. Our hats are off to you, Bobbi Osborne, for the expertise you have brought to the Art Show and to Northlake Lutheran Church.
It has come to the Council's attention that there are some members of our congregation who may be in need of transportation to church services on Sunday mornings. We would like to identify some volunteers, preferably from both services, who would be willing to bring these folks to church and take them home again. Typically, the need for a ride arises from age/health reasons; consequently, the volunteers would need "senior friendly" vehicles such as a sedan that doesn't require a big step up into the vehicle. <
