From Pastor Ben:
I hope and pray you all have had a good week! As our nation and church are in a time of transition, I believe this Facebook post from one of our church members is timely for us:
"We must acknowledge our fallen condition, earnestly repent, and turn back to a pure and focused love for the Lord Jesus Christ. It is the turning of our hearts back to JESUS in true repentance that will bring the power of HIS presence into our midst.” -Prayer Focus for Hope Church
The presence of Jesus Christ in your life is the ONLY thing that can bring true and lasting hope.
As we have been in a season of prayer, My hope for us is that we would allow God to do that work of renewal in our hearts. I believe He has much in store as we continue to seek His will and direction in our personal lives and in our life as a congregation.
This Sunday we will be wrapping up our sermon series “Pray First”. We will be looking at a prayer that the believers in Acts prayed as they were facing opposition. It’s a prayer that we too are called to pray. Our key Scriptures are John 17:13-19 and Acts 4:23-31.
Also this Sunday evening at 6:30pm we will gather together one more time as we wrap up our 21 Days of Prayer focus. We would love to have many of you join us as we take time to
worship, pray, and seek God’s direction.
See
you Sunday!
-Pastor Ben
Update from The Elders
We want to encourage you to take time to hear from the Lord in this season and seek His guidance as to the future of Hope Church. Hope Church is a Congregational led Church. That means that hearing from the congregation in this season of transition is really important. Please share what you sense the Lord may be saying to us as a church. You can submit your comments online (here), or on the yellow card on Sunday mornings.
The elders will also be available on Sunday mornings from 9:30-10:30 to meet with anyone from our church who may have comments, concerns, or questions as we are in this season of transition. They will be gathered in the back of the Sanctuary.
Sunday Evening Prayer
On Sunday evenings from 6:30-7:30pm we will be gathering at Hope for a time of corporate prayer as we discern God’s will for us in this season. Please join us if you are able! We believe this is an important time to seek God’s direction together as a church.
