Letter from the Lead Pastor

Mission: Equip all to be the heart, hands, and feet of Jesus in the world!

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Every single day I thank God for such an amazing cloud of witnesses called Abiding Hope Church. You inspire me by the many ways that you serve, give, and pour yourselves out for Christ’s mission of life for the world. This year certainly hasn’t been easy, but God continues to show up in new and profound ways in, around, and through us.

This report tells stories of the amazing ways that the Holy Spirit has moved us into action. But please know that this report can’t tell it all. So much happens each and every day through you, our Abiding Hope community, in your homes, workplaces, schools, neighborhoods and beyond that only you or perhaps only God can see. Thank you for being the heart, hands, and feet of Jesus in such profound ways throughout 2021.

Let us continue to grow as children of God as we move into 2022. Our theme for the coming year is Choose Love, Choose Hope. May the Holy Spirit guide us to be the people and the community that God needs so that we and all the world may experience real life in Jesus’ name.

God loves you and I do too!

Pastor Doug
