Hope lutheran council
Our church has a Council of Members who assist with the direction and financial activities of Hope Lutheran Church. The Council meets once a month on a Monday to discuss and vote on future events, expenditures, maintenance, and projects for Hope. If you believe the Lord may be moving your heart to serve in a more leadership role at Hope, please reach out to Pastor Oswald or Paul Trettin.
HOPE is currently looking for a Treasurer position for 2026 when the current term expires. Please contact Pastor Oswald if you are interested, or if you would like to know more about the responsibilities and tasks of the Treasurer position.
Sunday service choir
Soft voice, loud voice, shy voice, or hear me opera voice, we invite and include all singers. Express your love for church, song, and/or God by singing in the choir. Choir rehearses at 8:15 AM prior to church on Sundays. Choir organizes typically September through June, as we do not meet during the summer.
Women of Hope
All women members are invited to join our meetings several times a year. Proceeds from our events, such as bake sales, help with church projects, community events, are given out to charitable organizations in our community and special mission support through the church. We also organize a book club for more in depth understanding of our faith. See our Women of Hope page on this website for more information.
Men's Breakfast Devotion
Every First and Third Friday of the Month, men of Hope meet at 8:00 AM in the lower level at church for a delicious breakfast, pleasant fellowship, and learning of the bible. See our Men's Prayer Breakfast page for more information.
Be a Greeter
This is a great way to get to know your fellow members whether you're new to the Church or been around a while. Feel free to "Welcome & Good Morning" people to Hope at the door. Be that kind person to direct new visitors who may not know where to go.
usher
Being an Usher is a reward experience with the Church Service. Greet members and visitors by handing out the Worship Folders. Assist in the collection of offerings. Provide guide and organization to those who visit communion. Simple and rewarding. See our Usher Schedule page for more information.
Altar Guild
A member is needed each week to set up and take down the altar for every service. Schedule is usually set for 1 month at a time. It requires assembling the wafers and wine for communion, and cleaning up the dishes after service. See our Altar Schedule page for more information.
Sunday Morning Fellowship
Check out our sign-up sheet in the narthex and consider choosing a Sunday to donate baked goods or a snack for our Sunday fellowship time. Any type of cake or dessert is appreciated, and it can be store bought as well. It is also appreciated if you are able to add one healthy choice, such as fruit, cheese, bagels, crackers, nuts/trail mix, etc., but it is not necessary. Keep it simple. We’ll need the equivalent of approximately three 9x13 pans, so feel free to grab a partner and be a team! If you prefer not to commit to a Sunday and see baked goods on sale, they can be brought in and put in the freezer for any Sunday. Blessings! Dawn Oswald See our Tasty Fellowship Table page for more details.
trustees
We have a Trustee group that helps around the church the first Saturday of the month at 8-11:00 AM. Also, if you enjoy doing any home repairs or improvements and would like to pitch in, we can always use your help. Contact Kyle Wacholder or Paul Schneider for information.
Audo & Visual (A/V) Team
Are you familiar with computers , video, and/or sound systems? Hope's A/V team produces the Livestream service every Sunday. We maintain website, Facebook, YouTube, and Instagram material. We're looking for helpers to assist when one or more of us are out of town. We'll train you and practice with you before you "go live". Join us!
