Greetings New Hope Lutherans and Friends

New Week Message

Greetings New Hope Lutherans, Friends, and Wounded People

We’re all wounded.  Relationships, divorce, financial problems, being let down and disappointed, some life intention or adventure did not turn out well.   Feeling down about ourselves…

We’re not perfect and neither is the world.  Thus we get wounded,  Physically, psychologically, socially, financially, spiritually…hurt. 

What to do?  New Hope can be of help.  How?

We’re a congregation where people are loved and accepted.  We don't exclude and judge and condemn.  We welcome. 

As ELCA Lutheran Christians we do not pretend to be “holier than thou.”  In fact, one of our traditions is to begin worship services with a confession that we are not perfect and neither do we live in a perfect world.  We seek God's guidance to be better people and to proceed in a broken world.  Then we hear a clear declaration of God's grace and mercy, love and forgiveness.

You'll be welcomed in a congregation of authentic people.  We’re all in this life together and we're all trying to learn, explore spirituality and grow in faith to do some good.  

We have Vicar and caring network of trained pastors if you want to talk in confidence and share a prayer.  

You are beloved.  

Here we go!  

Interim Pastor Jeff Swanson

The Unvarnished History of Salvation

New Essay #11 is live.

"Christians Thrived, Despite Severe Roman Persecutions. Why?"

Greetings New Hope Lutherans and Friends 

For many years, I’ve been thinking about the history of “salvation” teachings in the Church, beginning amongst the first Christians.   So, I’ve decided to write a series of short essays.  Limited to 500 words each.  Easy reads...click on the button to begin :)

British Army Chaplain Eric Milner White wrote a prayer his congregation in 1941

 “O God, you have called your servants to ventures of which we cannot see the ending, by paths as yet untrodden, through perils unknown. Give us faith to go out with good courage, not knowing where we go, but only that your hand is leading us and your love supporting us; through Jesus Christ our Lord.”
