Hope Traditional Worship (August 30, 2026)

This week's livestream is our Wednesday evening service. This Sunday, August 30 is our annual church picnic at Legion Park--we welcome you to join us for worship at 10am, followed by the picnic! What unites us as the church? Our shared habits? Our preferred way of doing worship? Our agreement on the menu for our next potluck? Or something greater? It is easy to elevate our own preferences and desires at the expense of relationship, even in the church. As Paul counsels the church in Rome, he urges them to treat each other (Jews and Gentiles) graciously as people united by their shared connection to Jesus our Master. May God grant us His help to keep Jesus front and center in our life together so that His grace would permeate our relationships with one another.
