By Judith Boogaart, Early Worship Ministry member
In the fall of 2018, Early Worship encountered the scriptures through the lens of the saints—from past centuries and from Hope Church’s past—for a meaningful and challenging look at how Christians follow Christ. In February of 2019, the services featured a rich exploration of writers, music, art, and scripture during Black History month.
As the fall season begins, the Ministry has decided to continue to explore different avenues of worship. From a matins-style morning prayers format, to an in-depth look at one of the books of the Bible for a season, to an old-fashioned hymn sing now and then, worshipers are invited to engage with God and the scriptures and to fellowship with each other in various ways.
If you are on the Hope Church email list, you already receive the “Praying towards Sunday” emails. Going forward, they will also include information about what’s happening at Early Worship that week (sign up for the emails through the church office).
Two things will not change: Early Worship will still meet in the beautiful Hope Church chapel at 8:30 on Sunday mornings, and celebration of the Lord’s Supper will happen every week as it has done since Early Worship began. You are invited to participate!
