Lenten Wednesday Worship Begins Feb. 14, 7PM

January 4, 2018

Our observance of the Lenten season begins on Ash Wednesday, Feb. 14 with an evening service at 7PM. We will have Holy Communion and the imposition of ashes as a part of the service. ALL are welcome!

A dinner will be served on Ash Wednesday at 6 PM. We will not have meals on the other Wednesdays during the Lenten season. The Word of God will be our bread.

Wednesday evening services will continue at 7 PM leading up to Holy Week, beginning on Palm Sunday on March 25. Our theme will be “DO” and “DONE.” We will contemplate the vastness of what our Lord has DONE for you, and how you can DO absolutely nothing to earn it. Our times will be rich, powerful, affirming and encouraging. Lord God, come.

Easter Resurrection Celebration Service will be on April 1, 2018

Our Church: “Not for Ourselves”

January 3, 2018

Hope Lutheran Church desires to live under the rule and reign of our Lord Jesus Christ, seeking His kingdom in all of life. In other words, we aim to be a “church not for ourselves” which is in contrast to maintaining and growing an organization or meeting members’ needs as a primary focus.

Help Out: TX Hurricane/Flooding Relief

August 28, 2017

Relief efforts related to Hurricane Harvey continue with both North American Lutheran Church (NALC) and Lutheran Congregations in Mission for Christ (LCMC).

Thanks to all who have responded with gifts of time, supplies and donations … a beautiful overwhelming response!

The efforts are switching to long term recovery and rebuilding. After sending 9 large trailor loads of supplies to the So Texas recovery sites, the Clifton supply distribution center run by Peace Lutheran in Clifton will no longer be needed.

There will be an ongoing need for volunteer work teams at the recovery sites in South Texas.

If you would like to volunteer, be a part of a volunteer group or send needed supplies, contact the South Texas disaster relief sites in Rosenberg, Ingleside or Victoria to determine their needs. Here is a link with information: https://www.thenalc.org/projects/hurricane-harvey/

Donations are still needed and information regarding donations is available at that link as well.

Again, we are grateful for the tremendous response! People who were returning to their homes cried as they received needed supplies.

October 17-18: Mobilizing the Potential of Seniors!

July 25, 2017

A training conference for “seniors” sponsored by the North American Lutheran Church will be held on October 17-18 at
Reformation Lutheran Church in Culpeper, VA. Pastor Wendy will be one of the speakers at this conference.

Topics covered include renewing the congregation
through older adults, developing a discipleship-centered
senior adult ministry, compelling mature
adults to follow the call to service, and incorporating
an inter-generational ministry into the life of the
local church. The event will also include workshops
and breakout sessions. Information on the conference was available in the May North American Lutheran Church News and you can find it in that newsletter by clicking this link.
