Love God.
Love people.
Make disciples of Christ.

From Pastor Ben:

Hi Hope Family, 

I hope you all have had a great week and are enjoying the much welcomed warmer temperatures. This week my oldest son, who is in 4th grade, was able to return to his school for in person learning. It’s been almost a year since schools were first shut down due to the pandemic. As I was walking my son to the bus stop on Monday morning, I began thinking through all that has happened this past year. I had mixed emotions as I thought through the struggles and the gifts that this last year has brought. I was once again grateful for God’s faithfulness through all the joys and difficulties that we as a family and church community have walked through. Lamentations 3:22-23 says, "Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for His compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness.”  I pray that in the days ahead we would continue to be reminded of God’s compassion and His faithfulness over our lives. 

This week we continue our sermon series on the book of Mark. I will be preaching from Mark 7:1-23. We’ll be looking at how religion and legalism can get in the way of our relationship with God. We’ll also be reminded of the hope and freedom we have as we allow Jesus to do a work of transformation in our hearts. 

We’ll see you Sunday!

In Christ, 
Pastor Ben

Hey Hope Ladies! We have an opportunity to be a part of the Set Apart Conference for Women which begins on March 6 - however, since this year's conference is virtual due to covid, the virtual gathering goes from March 6 through March 31st.

If we are able to gather 20 or more ladies that are interested in participating, the cost is just $20 (and Hope's Women's budget will cover $10 - so your cost would be just $10!)

The virtual gathering can be done from the comfort of your own home at your own pace (you would need computer and internet access) - OR if we have interest we could meet an evening or two at church and view some of the keynote/workshops together in person in our sanctuary. This option can be further discussed when we know if there is interest. If you are interested, comment below or email dhoidal@hopechurchmn.com.
