This Week at Hope Church

 “This is the message we have heard from him and proclaim to you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.” 1 John 1:5 


January 16, 2026


Dear Church Family,


As I mentioned last week, we want to get to know new people at church, so we’re moving forward with our Photo Directory and the Deadline is Feb 1st. Along with your photo, send your Family names, Address, Phone numbers, Email addresses, a Short statement about you, and Favorite verse to hopeinlivingGod@gmail.com. If you aren’t able to submit your own photo, ask Maria Roland to take it during Fellowship Time or after the worship service.


 This Second Sunday after the Epiphany will be a "Children's Sunday, and our worship focuses on 1 John 1:5-10, 2:1-2, Walk in the Light. There are two ways to live. God’s pure light pierces darkness and confessing Jesus’ righteousness cleans and cures us. We will be learning a Books of the Bible song in the service, which you can start listening to here: https://youtu.be/ufHukspJUBA?si=Pg5HmDu09XMcPnDE


Don’t forget to come to our Annual Congregational Meeting this Sunday at 12:00 pm. Attenders are invited to come and observe, Members are requested to participate. Here’s a link to the 2026-01-18 Annual Congregational Meeting Agenda.


I look forward to worshipping with you soon!

Ever yours ‘til glory dawn,

Pastor James
