Sing to the Lord, all the earth! Tell of His salvation from day to day. Declare His glory among the nations, His marvelous works among all peoples. For great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised!”
I Chronicles 16.23 – 25
As Christians, it is our duty and our delight to worship God for all His good gifts to us. In the beginning He created us and all living things, and in these last days He has saved us by the gift of His Son, our Lord Jesus, who died and rose again.
You and yours are always welcome in this house of worship!
We gather for worship as a community three times each weekend, and at special times during the year (Lent and Christmas, for example). We invite you this week! And to God be the glory.
Sunday Morning Worship
Good Hope offers two services of worship each and every Sunday morning.
The first service begins at 7:30 am, and the second at 10 am.
The services are the same both times, the only differences being the singing of the choir, and the offering of a children’s sermon–both of which are at the 10 am.
Saturday Evening Worship
Services of worship are held at Good Hope every Saturday evening at 5 pm. Saturday worship is informal! Come as you are and enjoy the fellowship! The sermon is the same both Saturday evening and Sunday morning, but on Saturday there is also a give-and-take Bible study incorporated into the service. Come and see!
Choir
Our choir adds their voices to our worship, every Sunday at 10 am during the school year.
Under the direction of Dan Basinger, and accompanied by Montgomery Moore, the choir rehearses on Tuesdays at 7:30. Rehearsals take place upstairs in the sanctuary.
Your voice would be welcome!
The Handbell Choir rehearses on Tuesdays at 6:30 p.m. in the Education Unit, and generally plays during the 10:00 service on the 3rd Sunday each month. New Ringers are always welcome! Contact Dan Basinger, or attend a practice to get started!
Seasonal Worship
Holy Week and Easter
We draw near to Holy Week and Easter.
The Lord Jesus entered Jerusalem on Palm Sunday, hailed as king by the crowds who lined His path. The mood soon changed however, and the same people who were cheering for Him on Sunday were calling for His death by Thursday night.
On that Thursday evening, Jesus ate His Last Supper, then went to the Garden of Gethsemane where he was betrayed and arrested. His death came the next day, Friday, and His burial followed immediately.
And then on Sunday morning, the women went to the tomb, and were surprised to find it empty . . . .
Palm Sunday this year is March 29.
Maundy Thursday is the day Jesus ate His Last Supper. We will worship the evening of April 2 at 7 pm.
Good Friday, the day He died on the cross, falls on April 3. We will worship that evening at 7 pm, with the added opportunity of the Crosswalk at 12 noon—we meet at the east doors of the church, and carry a large wooden cross through town, stopping seven times to pray and to sing.
Easter Sunday is April 5.
Bible study and 10 am worship are at their normal times.
Sunrise worship is at 6:30 am.
Breakfast is served from 7:30 to 8:30.
