Women of Hope

The Women of Hope is Hope Lutheran’s organization committed to providing intentional ways for women to be involved in leadership, service, and study.

At Hope Lutheran, women are invited to actively participate in the work of the church through Circle or Bible Study groups and service projects in the community. An annual bazaar is held, with proceeds distributed among local, national, and international mission projects. There is a Christmas brunch with a Christmas program, food and a special offering that is distributed to a local Christmas mission project.

CIRCLE AND BIBLE STUDY

One circle and a Bible study meet monthly from September through May.

  • LYDIA CIRCLE - 3rd Thursday at 7:00 p.m.
  • GATHER BIBLE STUDY - 2nd Thursday at 1:30 p.m.

Every woman at Hope is invited to attend either or both groups. Most meetings are held in the church; however, it is recommended that you contact the church office to confirm the location.

The Bible Studies that are utilized are published in the Gather Magazine. You may subscribe to the magazine on the Women of the ELCA web site. There are also copies of the magazine in the church library for your use.

Prayerfully consider joining one of these groups. Everyone is welcome.
