Tis the season for …. Resolutions. What are your resolutions?
We make resolutions based on: (1) analysis of the past activities, (2) intentions for upcoming year.
Resolutions are good for us. Let’s say we resolve to sustain health by a brisk walk, one hour per week. But alas, we only walk fifty weeks. We average fifty minutes per walk, instead of sixty. Well, the amount of healthy time walking falls a bit short of our goal, but we still made immense, progress! Give ourselves some credit!
Seems to me that 2026 will be a challenging year. Economic, political, environmental, social, health, personal and more problems will confront us. What to do?
Seems also to me that Christians before us thrived by participating in congregation spirituality. They attended church. They grappled with the lessons of scripture. They sought discernment by prayer and reflection. Their souls were bolstered by music. They organized for ministry to share God’s love with others.
We had six children in church last Sunday. We’re about to do a wedding and two baptisms. Vicar Thania is a blessing. We’re dialoging with other local ELCA congregations. More!
New Hope is here for you. Us. ALL.
What are your spiritual resolutions?
Here we go!

New Essay #7 is live. Persecutions! But Why?
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 :)

Nevertheless, each person should live as a believer in whatever situation the Lord has assigned to them, just as God has called them. This is the rule I lay down in all the churches.
Mark your calendars for these great events coming up.
