meetings/ a typical Sunday…


At Hope, in considering how to stimulate one another to love and good deeds, we have a more lengthy assembling together; first for the purpose of worshiping God and then to encourage one another (Heb 10:24,25).  The normal practice of Hope involves:


    • gathering: greeting the saints


    • preparation: focus initially directed to

      others about God, then moving to God


    • instruction: His words to us


    • response: focus directed to God


    • communion: focus on His sacrifice


    • a fellowship meal: breaking bread


    • a fellowship time: church is to be built

      on relations, and this is a key time to

      build & strengthen those relationships

      within the body
