WHAT WILL THIS LOOK LIKE?
Each communion Sunday (the 2nd Sunday of every month), our pastors will use a different one-another scripture for our sermon text, culminating in June 2027 with “Love One Another.”
HOW CAN I PARTICIPATE?
Throughout the year, we will highlight different ministries and ways you can practice “one another” life in the church.
With each one-another themed Sunday (every 2nd Sunday), we will provide a take-home bookmark to remind you of Bible passages you can read and ways you can think, pray, and act to implement the sermon text.
Let us pray - may the Spirit be at work among us, helping us to grow in these ways.
TESTIMONY
How have you seen the Lord at work in our church family, as we grow in love with one another? Can you testify? You can indicate your privacy preferences on the form. Don't hesitate to share - no testimony is too small.
“Come and hear, all you who fear God;
let me tell you what he has done for me.” -Psalm 66:16
MINISTRY THEME 2026-2027
Every year the leadership of Hope Church selects a ministry theme. These themes animate a lot of the rhythms and relationships of our church gatherings. It is a commitment to corporate discipleship! This year, our ministry theme is: One Another.
Jesus told his followers in John 13:35, “By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.” Accordingly, the mission of Hope Church is to be a church whose passion for God gives rise to a heart for the lost and is demonstrated by our love for one another. Scripture highlights this truth by the multitude of “one another” passages found all throughout our Bibles.
This year, we pray we will grow deeply in love with one another, and practice living as one body. We do all this because we are in a real sense members of one another – “so in Christ we, though many, form one body, and each member belongs to all the others” (Romans 12:5). By this testimony, and the Lord’ help, may the world around us know us by this love (Jn 13:35).
ALSO, THERES A MEMORIZATION CHALLENGE!
This year our WHOLE CHURCH is working on memorizing Colossians 3:12-17, a passage rich with “one another” references. May the word of the Lord dwell richly in our hearts and minds as we work on this together. Starting September 6th, 2026 through June 20th, 2027, recite the entire passage by memory to any Hope Church Staff member and receive a Culver’s Scoopie token!
