Past, Present and Future. A duty for Christians is to live in the spectrum of the Past, Present and Future.
We cannot recreate the past. But we can learn from those before us and treasure gifts handed to us. Like church music, our Lutheran heritage. Our congregation. We can scrub the past for lessons learned and not repeat things that didn’t work.
We must live in this present moment. The past is gone. The future is not yet here, so we really have only one moment at a time. Each moment is a precious gift. New Hope needs your moments, your presence.
Yet, we’re tasked by the Gospel to anticipate and plan for the future. We are people of hope; an eternal, infinite, perspective.
So…what to do with the future and New Hope? Our congregation? Our facilities trusted to us?
Let’s think of our facilities, location, the people around us, God’s gracious Gospel message, the love energy within each of us, our heritage, our time, talents, and treasures as sacred trusts bestowed upon us.
And soon develop some strategic plans to sustain the congregation and pass New Hope on to the future. Have blessed, loving, Gospel fun now, too.
Here we go!
Interim Pastor Jeff Swanson
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 :)

He said to me, "Son of Man, stand up on your feet and I will speak to you." As he spoke, the Spirit came into me and raised me to my feet, and I heard him speaking to me.
Mark your calendars for these great events coming up.
