🙏 Hope Church Believes in the Power of Prayer
We have two opportunities for our Congregation to pray for our members and friends. Each week on our HopeLine, you can view a list of our members and friends who have requested prayers. Hope’s prayer group meets every Wednesday to pray for these folks. They encourage the Congregation to pray for each of them as well.
On Sundays during the Worship Service, we show on the slide projection screens timely prayer requests for members of Hope to pray for during the service. This list is for members who are in assisted living or nursing homes, undergoing surgery, in treatment, or have other concerns for the coming week. The Worship Committee will contact members on this list each month to determine if they wish to remain on the list.
CHRISTMAS POINSETTIAS
Poinsettias are available to help beautify our Sanctuary during the Christmas season. The cost is $10 each. If you would like to order a poinsettia In Memory of, In Honor of, In Gratitude For, or for any special occasion, order forms are available in the Narthex or the Church Office. Please print all information clearly to avoid errors with names. Return the completed form along with your payment by Friday, December 14th.
The donated poinsettias will be delivered to members and friends of Hope, as well as to Health and Rehabilitation facilities or homes.
🙏 Prayer’s GroupFor decades, Hope Church has hosted a weekly prayer group. Our format is simple: we gather around a table in the Parlor and pray. We pray for those names that have been submitted to us and pray for anything the Holy Spirit places on our hearts.
Everyone is welcome—no eloquence or formal training required! The only qualifications are:
A sincere belief in the power of prayer
A commitment to honoring the confidentiality of what is shared during prayer time
The Prayer Group meets every Wednesday at 11:00 a.m. in the Parlor and concludes around noon. We would love for you to join us!
