News for the Week of May 14, 2026


This week, we were honored to receive a heartfelt letter from Bishop Meghan Johnston Aelabouni offering prayers and encouragement to our congregation as we celebrate this season of transition and new beginnings. What a blessing to be reminded that the wider church is walking alongside us in faith and anticipation.



Annual Report!

This Annual Report is just a snapshot in time of our year and life together.  We are ever grateful for our fellow staff and elected leaders who continue to guide us in Christ’s mission. 

We hope you will read this report, pray over it, give thanks for the many lives impacted by Hope, and for God’s guidance in the year ahead as together, we continue to Pass On the Faith.


Call for volunteers.  As we get ready for the start of the new building project and demolition of the existing Nave, we are scheduling some dates to remove certain items that we want to salvage for reuse.  This includes light fixtures, toilets, countertops, wood doors and trim, carpet etc.  There will be work for all skill levels as we box up items, label them and store them. 

Currently we are planning on working 5/15, 16 and 18 to start this process.  There will be other work dates scheduled as we get closer to actual large scale demolition of the building by the General Contractor.  If you have any questions, you can contact John Bosio.  Fill out the form below to let us know you want to help, thank you in advance!
