Welcome to Light of Hope United Methodist Church! |
10.23.2007 |
 |
As a nurturing Christian
Community, we welcome everyone and seek to discover,
worship and serve the living God.
Our worship style might be called, "Energetic
Traditional." We sing our favorite hymns with
enthusiasm, we pray written and free-form prayers with
passion, and we engage the Word of God with warm hearts
and critical minds. Most important of all, we hope you
will join us on Sunday morning from 9:30am to about
10:50am because we believe that together, we may
discover what great plans God has in store for our
lives. |

On a practical note, when preparing to attend worship with
us, please know that you may come as you are. Our regulars will dress in
many different ways on Sunday mornings; you will see dress shoes, flip
flops, shorts, slacks, skirts/dresses, etc. Dress in a way that most helps
or allows you to worship Christ. Also, no special books or materials are
required, although some like to bring Bibles to follow along as the
scripture is read. Our worship bulletins (i.e., our programs) are kept
simple and informative so that you may easily follow along and participate
in as much or as little as you feel comfortable doing.
However, there's more to Light of Hope than just Sundays. Four different
regular study groups are starting up again (one for men, two for women, and
one for women and men). There are social groups for adults, for families,
for those who like crafts and for those who scrapbook. We support many
different missions like the Chandler Christian food bank, Merrill Gardens
senior care center, Improving Chandler Area Neighborhoods children/teen
center, and Habitat for Humanity.
In addition, since we have moved into the Riggs Road corridor, we are
excited about reaching out to the community and contributing to our
neighborhood. October 28th's Trunk-or-Treat event for children and families
is just the beginning. On November 3rd, we're opening our facility to those
who want to learn CPR and First Aid. Do you know of other needs in our
community that we may respond to?
Ultimately, we do what we do because we want to celebrate how blessed and
grateful we are and how good God is. We hope you'll join us.
Blessings,
Pastor Anthony |
