New Location for Gluten-Free / Alcohol-Free Communion Station | |
Please be aware that the gluten-free/alcohol-free communion station is no longer located in the back of the church. It has been moved to the front of the church in front of the pulpit at the communion station on the far left (Station 1).
Communicants wanting to receive either of those special elements should move to that aisle. That station will continue to operate as a regular communion station, but gluten-free hosts and grape juice will be available there. If you have questions, please contact Kristina Giffin at (803) 439-2787.

We are so appreciative of all the congregation members and volunteers who participated in this year's Angel Tree collection. Through your generosity, we were able to bless children and seniors in our local area, along with families from the Hope Lake Weir Campus Food Pantry, with Christmas gifts. For many of the recipients, this will be the only gift they receive this year.
Hope Lutheran Church is especially grateful to the Angel Tree committee for their leadership, organization, and hard work.
Thank you for helping us bless local families in need this Christmas!

Experience the Final Augsburg Confession Class | |
Pastor Bruce invites you to the last of his 9-week class series on Martin Luther's "Augsburg Confession" on Wednesday, December 28 at 10:00am at Hope Central Campus.
The topic of the December 28 class will be "In, But Not Of." Pastor Bruce asks everyone to read Articles XXVII and XXVIII (27 & 28) of the Augsburg Confession in preparation for the class. As part of this last class on the Augsburg Confession, in addition to covering the last two articles, we will briefly summarize all 28 articles as a reminder of what this Augsburg Confession means to us as Lutherans today.
The Augsburg Confession is the central confessional document of all Lutherans, not just the ELCA. This class will dive deep into Luther's work and a discussion guide called "A Reading and Discussion Study of The Augsburg Confession." This book is published by Sola Publishing as part of their Book of Concord Series.
Questions? Email pastorbruce@hope4all.church. You can also view the Augsburg Confession online for free by clicking the button below.
