Worship is an important part of our lives as followers of Jesus.  It is an opportunity for us to gather in community to experience God and to be renewed in our faith.  Worship creates a space where God meets us through God’s Word and Sacraments of Holy Communion and Holy Baptism, and where we as a community respond to God in our praise, prayer, fellowship, and giving.  Hope Lutheran Church is pleased to offer unique styles of worship to encounter God in different ways.

Each of our worship services provide a "come as you are" atmosphere where we celebrate Holy Communion every week and all are welcome to receive it. We don't print bulletins, however, all congregational responses and songs are provided on screen and we even have QR codes in the pews for easy access to online giving during offering. Once a month, usually on the second Sunday, we have Stephen Ministers who provide personal anointing and prayer dur

ing Holy Communion and we love kids in worship! Children of all ages are welcome in our worship services, and to come just as they are. Our 9:30am Summer Blended Worship (10:30am Modern Worship September-May)  includes a special children’s message and we have activity bags available to help keep them busy during worship.

All are welcome at Hope Lutheran Church -- Join us for Worship!

Under Construction: The Wisdom of God 

Summer Worship Series
Sundays, 9:30am (10:30am Fellowship Hour)
May 26-September 1

Trust in the Lord with all your heart, 
   and do not rely on your own insight. 
In all your ways acknowledge him, 
   and he will make straight your paths. - Proverbs 3:5-6 

How do you know which way to go? What voices, guidance, or wisdom do you follow to help navigate your way through life? Much like the roads during summer construction season, it can be challenging sometimes to know what to listen to, what to do, or where to go. So where does God’s voice fit into all of that?  

The Bible is filled with what we call “wisdom literature”; books and verses that provide us with guidance to help us live our lives. During this summer of road construction season, as we experience the struggles of which ways to go and which signs to follow, we will also be diving in deeper to some of this wisdom found in the Bible, and how God “works on us” through these wisdom passages to shape us and how we live.  Join us on Sundays at 9:30am for worship this summer, as we uncover God’s wisdom found in the Bible and how it helps us to find our way. 

SUMMER CAMP ADVENTURE 

Wednesday, August 14 

• 6pm Fellowship Meal & Service Project 
• 7pm Outdoor Worship (indoor if inclement weather) 

Join us for Hope Summer Nights in August for food, fellowship, service, and worship! We will gather starting at 6pm for a meal and fellowship, followed by worship at 7pm with a special emphasis on Trusting God (Psalm 56) honoring the theme for this summer’s VBS, Camp Firelight. The worship service will include some of our VBS campers and a special blessing over our service project. All activities, including worship, will be outside (indoors if inclement weather); we will have chairs available, but all are welcome to bring their own lawn/camping chairs, blankets etc. We will also have a “Kid-Zone” for our younger members to enjoy and play while they worship. There is no cost for the meal, but free-will donations may be given to cover the cost of the meal, as well as regular offering in worship. Plan to stick around after worship for more summer fun & s’mores!
