New Week Message
Greetings New Hope Lutherans and Friends
The ancient Christians bestowed a gift; Holy Week.
We benefit from the Holy Week message. Begins with Palm Sunday; the Lord’s triumphant entry into Jerusalem whereupon Jesus showed Grace upon Grace, despite being rejected later in the week by crowds and disciples.
Next comes Holy Thursday, wherein Jesus offers Holy Communion to spiritually strengthen us and work God’s loving presence in our lives.
The next day is Good Friday, as we confront the reality of God, in the person of Jesus, entering death.
THEN!!! Wah—Whoooo! Easter Sunday. Nothing stopped Jesus. Not even the cross and grave.
The Good News is; Jesus loves us and leads us through our positive and negative life experiences. And when we die, we enter the experience of death with HOPE….because Jesus used the full force of God’s power to bestow grace and salvation upon us precious humans.
New Hope is a Christian community of people in this new time and place, observing an ancient message. We examine history, how humans think and operate. We contemplate and live, the mystic message that God is real and loves us, no matter what happens.
So “Welcome to Holy Week”. You’re precious to God and, thus, our congregation.
Here we go!

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 :)
