Art of Neighboring class

What if Jesus meant that we should love our actual neighbors?

When Jesus was asked to sum up everything in one command, he said to love God with everything we have and to love our neighbors as ourselves. What would happen if every follower of Jesus took the Great Commandment literally? Is it possible that the solution to our society’s biggest issues has been right under our noses for the past two thousand years? (From the back-cover description of The Art of Neighboring.)

This six-week class will explore these and other questions around neighboring as discipleship. The book is not required to participate in the class. We’ll watch short videos from the authors of The Art of Neighboring, read scripture, and discuss the why and how of loving our literal neighbors as ourselves.

Childcare provided.

April 7 - May 12, 8:30 - 9:30 a.m.

CHRISTMAS EVE

Candlelight Lessons & Carols, 5 p.m.

Join us for an evening Lessons and Carols service on Christmas Eve. The service begins at 5 p.m. and will also be live-streamed on our YouTube channel.

Lessons and Carols—also known as the Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols—is a longstanding Christmas Eve tradition, originating in the late 19th century and popularized by King's College, Cambridge. The service consists of nine Scripture lessons retelling the biblical history of the Fall, prophecies of the Messiah, and finally the birth of Christ as the fulfillment of Scripture. Each lesson is followed by a carol, poem, or anthem as a response.

The Great Vigil - Holy Week at Christ Our Hope

The Easter Vigil is the thrilling culmination of Holy Week and the entire church year. The service begins by taking us on a dramatic, creative, and artistic journey through the stories of the Old Testament that point to Christ. After these readings we will celebrate baptisms and then a joyous Easter Communion.

This service is child friendly in its drama and excitement so there will be no children’s church available (you are welcome to leave before the baptisms and continuation of the service).

Stitches of Hope

Prayer Shawl Ministry welcomes new members to our group.  Completed shawls are given to members, family of members, friends or anyone in need of comfort and solace during a difficult time in life.

Our group meets the 1st Thursday of each month at 1:30 PM at the Church. The Shawls are knitted, crocheted, quilted or woven and prayer is an integral part of this ministry from beginning to end.  The group prays over the shawls that have been made during the past month.  Then, all shawls are blessed by our pastors.

We will teach you how to knit or crochet if you need instructions and provide simple, but beautiful patterns.  

"Shawls ... made for centuries universal and embracing, symbolic of an inclusive, unconditionally loving, God. They wrap, enfold, comfort, cover, give solace, mother, hug, shelter and beautify. Those who have received these shawls have been uplifted and affirmed, as if given wings to fly above their troubles..."

2nd Annual BEER AND HYMNS at Wolverine Farm

2nd Annual BEER AND HYMNS at Wolverine Farm

  • Wolverine Farm Letterpress & Publick House (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

After a well-received debut last year, Christ Our Hope has partnered again with Wolverine Farm Letterpress and Publick House for our second annual “Beer & Hymns” public outreach hymn-sing. Event takes place in the upstairs event hall* at Wolverine Farms Publick House on November 2nd from 7-9! Song booklets will be provided. The Publick House also serves coffee and tea if desired. As the weather gets colder, let’s gather indoors in the warmth of good company and boisterous singing!

Beer and Hymns has been done elsewhere in the country (and world) by many different churches, each in their own unique way. The event exists first and foremost to bring people of all walks together to experience authentic community and fellowship while raising voices - and glasses - in old time hymns (and maybe also some well-worn folk songs). Current church-goers, those who knew these hymns from a bygone era and haven't sung them in a while, or those who just appreciate the communal aspect of joining voices with others with little to no instrumental accompaniment may all be found at a Beer & Hymns. Bring a friend or three and let's sing!

*Please note the event hall is only accessible by a set of stairs
