Summer is here--YEAH!  

            Time for a change of pace.  
            Time for vacations, perhaps. 

            Time to spend time outdoors.  
An opportunity to relax from some  regular routines.

Are there things that you are determined to accomplish this summer?

Are there new activities you've been waiting to try?

What will be distinctive about your summer as a Christian?

Are there ways you worry that your relationship with Jesus might deteriorate?

Are there ways in which you want your relationship to grow?

What will you do to prevent the former and encourage the latter?

This summer at Hope Church our worship will focus Christian Distinctiveness.

What are some personal and practical characteristics we should have?

During the Sundays of June 10 and 17 and July 29 and August 5 worship will be lead by guest pastor Roy Roberts from Rapid City Christian School.  On the other Sundays of June, July, and August Pastor John will explore  such topics as:

                        A Fresh Start from II Corinthians 5:17

                        Living Stones and A Holy Priesthood from I Peter 2:4-6

                        Distributors of Grace from I Peter 4:10

                        Hating Sin from Romans 8:13-14

                        Facing the Real Me from Hebrews 12:15

                        Encouraging Others from Hebrews 3:13

                        Christian Empathy from Ezekiel 3:15

                        Long Obedience from Galatians 6:9

                        God's Requirement of Justice from  Micah 6:8

                        God's Requirement of  Kindness from II Timothy 2:24; Romans 2:4

Why not join in trying to become more like the people Jesus wants us to be.
