Free Prayer Circle
The Power of Prayer Can Move Mountains, Work Miracles, Achieve Serenity and Give You Strength. Fr. Billy Clark, Denise Tally and Patrick Clark will guide us in prayer every fourth Sunday at 1pm. Prayer is a universal way for you to connect to your soul and communicate with a higher power. Whether you are new to the ways of prayer or perhaps you pray daily, or you might have prayed as a child but may have gradually lost the habit, or maybe you feel your prayers are never answered. This group is open to all religions & spiritual backgrounds. Join us as we explore the power of coming together to Pray for help, guidance, health, healing and answers. We gather to pray for ourselves/our loved ones/the world.

Hope Lutheran Parishioners Create Blessing Bags for Homeless
Parish nurse Liz Macri and Vicar Samantha White oversee packing of Blessing Bags with volunteers
Hope Lutheran Church provides many opportunities for outreach to the community around us. During this Christmas season, the family of Hope members joined together to create Blessing Bags for area homeless individuals. Sunday School classes decorated tote bags to be filled with toiletries, sock, hats and other useful items. A group of volunteers gathered on Wednesday afternoon to fill the bags to be blessed and given out to Sunday, December 23 worship attendees for distribution to homeless people encountered in our daily lives. This is just one of the many ways the Hope family strives to live out our Mission Statement as a community empowered by the Holy Spirit, called to bring God’s comfort, to work for God’s justice, and to share the hope and love of Jesus with all.
Located at 470 Winter Street Extension, North Greenbush, Sunday Services with Communion begin at 10 AM followed by coffee hour. Child care available. Bible Study Wednesdays at noon. Beginning the Gospel of Luke.
