New Week Message
Grateful for the recent growth at New Hope. Attendance is up for many weeks… So we now have a positive trend going; thanks be to God!
Also, we have children who regularly attend both our Sunday school and the Little Disciples experience we started last week. The little kids don't want to see some older adult up there, preaching away with concepts they don't understand. They want to play, paste, color, and hear a story in their language about God's love via Jesus. So we are converting our Sacristy to a place where children can meet, especially during the sermon time.
Will some escape and praise God in their own way by seeking their parents or entering the sanctuary? Oh yes! In my over 30 years of active duty and other experiences, I've noticed that the children suffer worse during wars and human calamities. So if the kids are up and running around and laughing, and Church is a positive, safe, experience for them…Then I'm very happy. Maybe, they’ll keep coming to church services throughout their lives?
When I serve Communion, every one of the kids is beaming. Praise God!
May we all be as happy to attend church.
Here we go!

New Essay #10 is live.
"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 :)
