The recording for the Service of July 21 is unavailable. Thank you. Bulletin
Have you ever wondered if God could use you? Maybe you feel you have less to contribute than others. Join us this Sunday at 9 AM as we explore an amazing moment in the life of Jesus. Though He could have fed 5000 on his own, he chose to heavenize earth in and through a young boy. What a leader we follow. Isn’t He wonderful?
As we seek to be a loving and faithful church, one of our summer projects is to work with some upcoming changes with Hope’s staff at the end of August to divide responsibilities into multiple volunteer roles. As this work progresses, I have enjoyed conversations with some of you who are considering bringing your experience and expertise to serve with Hope as Ministry Coordinators (or as the Bible says, “deacons and deaconesses”). Also, we are clarifying job descriptions for who will work on teams with our future coordinators. Please join us this Sunday at 9 a.m. to sing, pray, discuss how the church is like the body of Christ as described in 1 Corinthians 12 and enjoy pancakes & sausage afterwards. If you are desiring to serve but aren’t sure what that could look like, this Sunday is for you. And, yes – pancakes & sausage are really a part of the morning plan! I hope you can join us!
Love, Dean

In your life and the lives of others, what do you control? Do you control your own property: your house, your car, or your possessions? Do you control these things for someone else: a renter, a roommate, or a child? Parents, do you control other aspects of your children’s lives: where they live, what they learn, what they eat, or even what they’re named? Bosses, do you control aspects of your employees’ lives: where they work or what they do? All of us control something. Nebuchadnezzar controlled many things. But God controls everything and he continually proved it. Join us this Sunday to worship, pray, and study a story from the book of Daniel that teaches us another name of God and how we should view control.
When was the last time you had a problem that you really needed to solve but didn’t know how to do it because you either didn’t have enough information or you had enough information but didn’t know how to interpret it? When this happened, what did you do? Did you get anxious about the problem and lose sleep over it or pressure someone else to solve it? Did you stall for time or just give up on it? Join us this Sunday at 9am to worship, pray, and study a story from the book of Daniel that teaches us another name of God and a better way to solve problems.
While most people in the 1st Century described Jesus as the Christ, His primary way to identify Himself was with the name, Son of Man. Join us this Sunday at 9am to pray, sing, be together and consider why Jesus preferred to describe Himself as the Son of Man. What was He trying to say with this particular name of God?
What are you most looking forward to? Is anticipation a part of your daily life? Join us this Sunday at 9am as we come together to pray, sing, beautify our campus after the service, and meditate on one of the forward-looking names of God revealed in Titus 2:13. In this message we will discover that Jesus is both our life now and our “blessed hope”!
Have you ever been rejected by someone you thought you could trust? Do you know the unique pain of abandonment? Join us this Sunday at 9am for our 4th-Sunday family service (all ages included) to pray, sing, and engage a fascinating true story about a woman who was rejected and sent away feeling unloved and alone, until God appears to her and reveals that He is “El Roi”, the God who sees!
Join us this Sunday at 9 a.m. as we come together to pray, sing, and meditate on one of the most famous and important chapters in the Bible, Psalm 23. In the lyrics of this ancient song, we will discover another name of God that is beautiful, relevant, and comforting in this hour, the Lord is my Shepherd.
