Hope Lutheran Church

Home

Welcome to our church

We all want a place to call home, to celebrate our blessings, to mend our brokenness, or just to feel part of a community. Hope Lutheran Church has that sense of belonging especially to families to keep them focused on fulfilling their lives the way God has intended. So many distractions and meaningless wants pull us from the peace and love of God.

What We Believe

We are a Lutheran congregation, which means that we believe in God, revealed to us as Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Our lives are rooted in the good news of salvation that comes in the life, death and resurrection of the son, Jesus Christ. It is that good news that frees us from our self-centeredness and allows us to live for others, following Jesus.

Christian Education Information

Bible Study will be held ‘In-Person’ at Hope Lutheran Church on Wednesdays at Noon in the large classroom.

Qigong Class to Begin

Starting in October, Hope will be hosting a weekly class called "Qigong: Energy for Life." The class will focus on qigong, meditation, and other practices to enhance your wellbeing. In order to make the class accessible to people of all abilities, it will be done seated, with an option to stand if you wish. These gentle practices are done at your own pace, and comfortable, loose clothing should be worn.

What is qigong? (And how do you pronounce that funny-looking word??) The term comes from two Chinese words. "Qi" (pronounced "chee") means energy, breath, or life force. We all have qi. And "gong" means practice or cultivate. Qigong is a way -- actually, many ways -- to cultivate and enhance your qi. There are thousands of qigong practices, and many are very ancient.

Pam Dodson, who has been studying tai chi and qigong for 20 years and teaching it for 10, will lead the class. Liz Macris will lead the class once a month in a meditation practice. Liz is our former parish nurse, has led meditation classes at Hope, and is a healing touch practitioner.

The class will be in Hope's sanctuary on Wednesday afternoons from 1:30 to 2:30. Proof of Covid vaccination will be required for in-person participation. The classes will also be available via Zoom. The class fee will be $25 per month.
