There's been some exciting things recently at HOPE that deserve some celebration! God is always good, so perfectly faithful, and never ceases in doing new things. Here are a few we can celebrate together:
Hundreds of people came to Good Friday & Easter services here and many communicated how God used the services to touch their hearts and draw out greater worship of God. Praise Jesus!
In response to the stewardship & giving update communicated here in March, God's people responded wonderfully, resulting in over $46,000 given to close out the month. Praise Jesus!
A special baptism is being arranged this Sunday afternoon for a man who came across our website, submitted his baptism inquiry, and is immediately motivated to take this spiritual step of obedience as a follower of Christ. Praise Jesus!
I met a man on Easter who came to his first worship service at HOPE. He and his wife had their taxes done by the tax-aid group that uses our building on Fridays. He told me that's what sparked the thought to try a worship service here! Praise Jesus!
What else can we celebrate together? What have you recently seen God do in and among us? We worship and serve One Awesome God. All praise and glory to Him for who He is and for what we continually see Him doing! It's an honor and joy to be all in this together through the love, power, and will of the Lord Jesus Christ :)
Until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.
