Message from Pastor Dottie

Dear Hope Members and Friends,

The WORD is spreading! We are in the first chapter of Mark's Gospel, and Jesus' ministry is well underway -casting out all the powers that go against God's intentions, healing the sick, teaching with authority, doing God's work in the world. Our scripture texts for this Sunday are Isaiah 40: 21-31 and Mark 1: 29-39. Plan to attend the adult forum at 9:30 AM for Bible Study and discussion of the scripture texts for the morning. The Confirmation Class and Youth Sunday School class also meet at 9:30 AM.

 
AND this Sunday is SOUPER BOWL SUNDAY. Yes, I have spelled it correctly. S-O-U-P-E-R!!! Please bring a can or two or three of soup or stew to be dedicated and used in the ministry of Hope's Help By Phone Food Pantry. Also, remember that this Sunday, we celebrate the Lord's Supper so remember to bring a loaf of bread (any kind) to stock the food pantry.
 

Do not rush off after worship. Plan to stay for a SUPER SOUP luncheon fellowship time hosted by the Christian Women's Fellowship. For those who are counting the seconds before the big kick off to the Super Bowl Football Game or for those who have just finished watching all the soccer games in the Africa All Cup, Sunday, following worship, will be the perfect opportunity for you to stay a while, visit and share a meal with the Hope community. Join us!

Until Sunday, a prayer from "Call To Worship."

 
Gracious God,
You have given us a sure Word-sealed by your Spirit in the free gift of your Son.
In him you have set us free from bondage, bound up and healed our wounds,
and led us into the paths of peace.

Empower us with your Spirit to demonstrate a life of gratitude for all your blessings giving us the will to follow Jesus with undivided hearts bearing his liberating good news wherever there is brokenness and bondage. And may we do all things to your glory. In Jesus' name. Amen!

Pastor Dottie

Hope Presbyterian Church

Hope strives to be a welcoming church where each person is valued as a child of God. In the name of Jesus Christ, it is Hope's prayer that each person will be inspired by the Holy Spirit for a life of faith, sharing in the church's mission to spread God's love in the world.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hope is:

  • A Protestant Church with a long standing tradition and commitment to biblical study as well as nurture and training for both clergy and lay leadership.
  • A Connectional Church as a congregation of the Presbyterian Church (USA) which includes over 11.500 congregations with a local membership of over 2.5 million throughout the U.S.A.
  • A Reformed Church believing in the Holy Spirit's work through the church community guided by the scriptures, the living word of God, seeking to be reformed and always reforming according to the word of God.

Be our guest at Hope Presbyterian Church on a Sunday morning. You are likely to see people of many ages, colors, cultural and ethnic backgrounds leading and participating in worship. You are likely to hear voices raised in song to traditional hymns, contemporary hymns, gospel and spirituals, classical church music and ethnic hymn tunes. 

It is our hope that you will experience an invitation to grow in the Christian faith, and to share God's love and joy with the people of God.
