Lillian’s Big Heart Art
Hope’s very own Lillian Benedik shined bright (and continues to!) in the news as Lillian and her compassionate heart for the homeless was highlighted recently by KMGH Denver 7. We invite you to watch the video and read more below. Used with permission, we will lead you into this amazing story. We are SO proud and aware that Jesus is working through Lillian in the most beautiful and colorful of ways.
An update since the February 15 article:
–Lillian’s 70+ pieces of art (featured at Littleton’s GraceFull Community Cafe) have generated $3,000 for the homeless (including a $1,000 donation/commission)!
— Lillian is hoping to add more paintings at GraceFull soon (they sold out quickly due to the publicity)! She encourages people to view her art and donate here on her facebook page Lillian’s Big Heart Art. Donations can also be made directly to the GraceFull Foundation or by emailing Meg Benedik to receive a painting and support Lillian’s dream of helping the homeless in our community.
LITTLETON, Colo. — There is no quick solution to ending Colorado’s homelessness, but one 6-year-old in Littleton is making a difference in her own colorful way.
Like most artists, little Lillian Benedik has always had the gift of empathy.
“She’s just in tune to the world around her and she soaks it all in,” described her mother, Megan Benedik.
So when Lillian saw the growing number of desperate panhandlers on the streets near her grandma’s home, it just didn’t sit right with the 6-year-old. continue reading here….
SUNDAY SERVICE 9 AM | March 7. Did you know God promises incredible blessing to those who walk with him, but he doesn’t always bless us in the ways we expect him to? God continually used unexpected and even painful means to bless Abraham, yet Abraham continued to trust God! When tough times arise, will we, like Abraham, continue to trust God to keep his promises? Don’t miss this Sunday, as Executive & Youth Pastor Arik Stewart brings us a message entitled, Trust His Promises. Join us in person, or online (live and recorded service) here!
MISSED MONDAY’S EMAIL? On March 1, Hope Leadership sent out an email looking for feedback and inviting you to safely gather to seek God for Hope’s future! If you missed this in your in-box, please click here. Thank you!

WE LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOU SUNDAY! The state of Colorado has recently removed numeric restrictions for houses of worship as long as we continue to safely follow the other C-19 protocols. So, we no longer require online registration for Sunday morning services. In effort to continue our focus on gathering safely, upon arrival, you will still be checked-in by a greeter for contact tracing purposes. And, we will continue to wear masks and practice social distancing. However, preregistration will no longer be required. If you have any questions, please email Rob.
HAVE A NEED? Your Hope family is here for you. If you need prayer, financial assistance, or help in any other way, please reach out to Pastor Jay here.
