In this Stewardship season message, Pastor Eric reflects on the Prophet Jeremiah's vision of "a future with hope." What is the relationship between hope and the experience of hopelessness? Between hope and honestly facing reality; honestly facing life's difficulties and hardships? What does it look like to choose hope--to make hope a verb--here and now, and how does doing so transform the future that is possible?
What might it look like for us as a church to be a "community of hope" in these difficult times that we are living through? What are you willing to commit in terms of presence, passion, and participation, in terms of time and resources to make such a community possible?
