The Lord be with you.
And also with you.
Lift up your hearts.
We lift them up to the Lord.
Let us give thanks to the Lord our God.
It is good to give our thanks and praise.
These words, spoken at the heart of our Sunday service, express the essence of what worship is. We come together as a community on Sunday mornings to give up our lives in gratitude and praise. We come to feel ourselves part of something larger. This is expressed in song and the drama of the liturgy. Everyone has a part: congregation members, readers, musicians, ushers, communion assistants, and even the pastor! You are welcome to join us in prayer and praise.

Sermon Series - September-October 2025
Where Are We Going Jesus?
Living in times of uncertainty can be hard. Fear and anxiety about the unknown can overwhelm and distract us from the mission of Jesus in the world. The gospel readings for September and October can focus us on the plans and priorities Jesus has for us. While we might not know what the ultimate destination looks like for us and Hope Lutheran, we can be guided each step of the way by what Jesus values.

Regular Worship Times
10:00 a.m. – Service of Word and Sacrament
This is our primary celebration of the Lord’s Day. The congregation gathers with hearts and voices raised in song. Children are welcomed, blessed and invited to take part in the opportunity to explore the word through fun, age-appropriate activities. The congregation is nourished by God’s word in scripture readings, sermon and prayer. Everyone gathers together to participate in the Lord’s Supper, to which all are welcome. Finally, the community is sent in joyful mission to the world.
Non-communion (Service of Word and Thanksgiving) are the 2nd and 4th Sundays of each month.
