This Week at Hope Church
May 3, 2026, The Lord's Day
"Beloved, do not imitate evil but imitate good. Whoever does good is from God; whoever does evil has not seen God." 3 John 1:11
Dear Church Family,
Our worship this Sunday focuses on 2 and 3 John, which calls us to abide in Christ’s true teaching and love, loving what He loves, hating what He hates.
In addition to the Lord's Supper, we will also hear a report from Delegates to the District Conference and honor the high school and college graduates in the service (Sylvia Kampbell, William Roland, Sam Slight, Eva Snyder). I look forward to worshipping with you soon!
Ever yours ‘til glory dawn,
Pastor James
