New Week Message

New Hope is a blend from several congregations.   COVID disrupted community worship.  When we gathered again, we blended two services to one.  Now, everyone is welcomed here.  

Jesus ministered amongst Hebrews, Samaritans, men, women, and all others in his context.  Therein is a message for us…to be likewise diverse in our outreach.  And welcoming.   

But, alas, there is a dilemma afoot.  Example; we cannot efficiently employ a Gospel Rock Band style of worship in harmony with the ancient liturgies, in the same 15 minutes of a worship hour.  Hmmmm?  What to do? 

Think.  Pray.  Discuss.  Strategize.  Plan.  Discern…..  Listen to the Spirit.  We’re surrounded by more than a 100,000 people with ready access to New Hope.  Be open to growth opportunities.   

People sense challenging times ahead.  Some want to engage the future bolstered by sensible theology which uses God given science knowledge, real spiritual insights, and a connection to God who is revealed in Christ.  Forgiveness.  HOPE.  JOY.  Community.  Meaning.  Purpose. Grappling with sacred scriptures.  

Want such a place and experience?  Want to be part of a growing congregation to meet the future, changing, yet anchored in the ancient Gospel message? 

Then New Hope is for YOU and ALL. 

Here we go!

"Roman Versions of Salvation Encountered  Christianity.  Oooouch"

Greetings New Hope Lutherans and Friends 

For many years, I’ve been thinking about the history of “salvation” teachings in the Church, beginning amongst the first Christians.   So, I’ve decided to write a series of short essays.  Limited to 500 words each.  Easy reads...click on the button to begin :)
