Suggested Donations and Credit/Debit Cards Now Accepted at HIC!

Throughout the years, many in our HIC community tell me that I should increase the suggested love donation for a session, and many have also asked us to accept donations using credit and debit cards.

We are already accepting credit/debit cards, and with the suggestions that I have received, the HIC board decided that beginning January 1, 2013, we will be increasing the suggested love donation for a session to $55.00, and phone sessions will have a suggested increase to $60.00. Remember — your donations are tax deductible!





Skype your appointment with Hope!

Janice Hope is now doing her phone readings over skype. You can make an internet call for free with skype and be able to have eye to eye contact. Yes, believe it or not, Hope is trying to bring innovative technology to HIC!
She is able to give Deeksha over skype and is thrilled to be able to Namaste everyone face to face. The energetic experience is different than just talking over the phone. These higher states of contact can lead to higher states of consciousness. And these high states of consciousness can lead to changes in the brain, which would eventually accumulate to a very big shift in your life.
If you would like to skype with Hope, please contact Jody to give her your skype name.
Namaste means that the light in me bows to the light within you. Namaste! Namaste! Namaste!




Home Visits Available!

Rev. Jo Gangestad, an ordained Hope Interfaith Minister since 2005, has accepted the call to be HIC’s fellowship Minister. Jo excudes a special kindness in her heart and looks forward to visiting our HIC friends when they are hospitalized. She will also be making home visits or phone calls when needed. Please contact the Hope Interfaith Center if Jo’s services are needed.




With Gratitude In Our Hearts!

Heartfelt thanks to all who helped at HIC last quarter

HIC Friends,
Your kindness really warmed our hearts with the many note cards gifted to our center, as many of you know we write cards to our friends in need during Sunday Salons, not to mention our dear Mother Hope, who sends out 3 cards per day as a part of her mission to the Hope Interfaith Center.
Thank you for to all who volunteered and donated/ prepared food during our December Sunday Noon Meal at the Salvation Army. Thank you for your generous gifts of time! We couldn’t have done it without you!
We are very grateful to Jody Saxton and Caroline Danielson who donated books to our HIC library this past quarter. Thank you ladies for your generous hearts!
HIC Board! Thank you so much for your commitment of time and energy! We appreciate you all!
As always, we also appreciate all those who help out around HIC without even being asked!! Simple gifts such as putting chairs away, helping in the kitchen after Sunday Service, emptying garbage, etc.-- all of those actions are witnessed and appreciated!




~ All Sacred Pathways Honored ~

When you come to the Center, we would ask that you remove your shoes if possible. There are mats and cubbies that will hold your shoes. This is not only to help keep the Center clean but it is also a way of honoring the sacredness of the space. Thank you.

Suggested Donation Prices for Spiritual Counseling
The suggested donation for spiritual counseling is $55.00 in person and $60.00 for phone readings ($5.00 for postage). Remember that we are a non-profit spiritual center, therefore your donations are tax deductible.
