Dear People of Hope,

It has been almost exactly a year since we gathered together for worship, indoors, in person.  Some of you have been to an outdoor communion service or other small-group meet up this year.  Some of you have simply been worshiping from home all this time.  As the COVID vaccine grows more accessible, Hope's council is considering how we will continue to worship safely, and take small steps towards in-person connections this spring, summer and fall. 

There is no specific plan yet for how and when Hope will re-gather in person.  In the meantime, please pray for the congregation council as these leaders make faithful decisions.  And continue to join us for online worship and other events.  Remember to also check Hope's youtube channel for special music between Sundays.  You can watch the above virtual choir and other pieces here:

As the weather warms, I am meeting people for walks and front-yard visits.  It has been wonderful to some of you, embodied!  I'll be seeing more of you in the coming weeks.


Peace of Christ,
   Pastor Julie
