New Hope Lutheran

New Hope will soon be journeying through the season of Lent into Easter.

Wednesday Feb 18th we will observe "Ash Wednesday" with both "drive thru ashes" available in our lower parking lot between 4 and 5pm and a worship service with holy communion and the imposition of ashes in our worship center at 6pm. Choose whichever event works best for your spiritual practice and life circumstances!

On the five Wednesdays of the season we will share a pot luck "soup and bread" supper at 5:30pm followed by Holden Evening Prayer with the "Call to I Am" meditations at 6pm. These gatherings will take place in our fellowship hall (contained within our "office-classroom" building). Vicar Thania will lead the "I am" series. I am...the bread of life, the light of the world, the door, the good shepherd, the resurrection and the life. Join on any or all Wednesdays which fit your spiritual practice and life circumstances!

In early April we will recall the steps of Jesus through holy week, beginning on Palm Sunday at 10am, gathering for holy communion at 6pm on Maundy Thursday, meditations at 6pm on Good Friday and an Easter celebration on Sunday at 10am. Join us as often as you are able. Choose what works best for your spiritual practice and life circumstances!

4 Questions Christian Leaders Should Ask

Are You Asking These Questions?

Hey read me!

Greetings New Hope Lutherans and Friends

Do you know…that you have a representative on our Rocky Mountain Synod Council? The RMS Council is governance for 151 congregations in five states? 26 Congregations have completed all preparation requirements and are ready to call pastors. But, alas, there is a shortage. Looks to me that another fourteen congregations are without pastors and engaged in self study.

We have ten congregations in the Border Conference, and I serve as your representative.

22-25 February, our Synod Staff will be in the Border Conference areas. Including El Paso. We have invited our beloved Bishop Meghan Aelabouni to preach at New Hope on 22 February and meet with our people. This will be an exciting and enlightening event!

Our Synod priorities are the congregations, people, and pastors of our Synod. Our intention is to visit each congestion this year. So that we have adequate leadership and Sacraments, we are focused to recruit TEEM candidates such as our Vicar, Thania Drake. Plus deacons and Synod Authorized Lay Ministers or “SAMs”.

And we are forming a strategic “El Paso Ministerium” of ELCA and United Church of Christ pastors and leaders. Monthly meeting at least.

New Hope, you, me….we….are front line engaged.

Here we go!

Interim Pastor Jeff Swanson
