In case you missed it: this Saturday, we won’t have water due to the scheduled temporary service outage.

Due to the water outage, our regular Saturday morning GriefShare group will not meet in-person at Hope. We expect to have water back for worship on Sunday, though!

**Urgent Service Cancelation Notification February 15, 2026**
The Middleborough area has been experiencing multiple water main breaks in the last 24 hours. As a result, the church does not have water service so we will have to cancel service today. We look forward to worshipping with you next week.

No heat (in our sanctuary), no problem!

Thanks to all for being flexible and gracious today as we moved worship this morning to our All-Stars Christian Learning Center!

And, thanks to Mickey, Bob, Chuck, and Colan for helping clear so much snow and ice from around our building so that we can out heat restored as soon as possible!

📣 Official Cancellation Notice (Weather Related)

Sweetheart Breakfast – Event Cancellation Notice

Due to extreme cold weather and dangerous wind chill conditions, we regret to announce that the Sweetheart Breakfast scheduled for Saturday, February 7, 2026 has been canceled.

The safety of our guests, volunteers, and community members is our top priority. With the severe weather forecast, we feel it is best to avoid travel and gathering during these hazardous conditions.

We were truly looking forward to sharing a special morning of food, fellowship, and love in support of Streets of Hope, and we deeply appreciate everyone who planned to attend, volunteer, or contribute.

Thank you for your understanding, your support, and your continued heart for our mission. Please stay safe and warm. ❤️

For worship tomorrow: please use the office entrance to enter and exit the building! We have a path (pictured below) that has been cleared for your use to access the building. The main entrance to the church remains blocked due to snow and ice.

Much of the sidewalks remain covered by snow, as well. Please park in the lot by All-Stars Christian Learning Center and make your way to the office entrance via Annetta Rd.! The office entrance is clear enough for folks to be dropped off there, if easier for entry and exit.

We hope, with above-freezing weather forecasted for this week, that the snow and ice will melt quickly. We miss our sidewalks and parking closer to the sanctuary! But, even with snow and ice, it will be a blessing to gather for worship tomorrow in prayer and praise for God and God’s love for us in Jesus.

Please be careful as you make your way to and from worship. See you tomorrow!

In deep sadness and in sure and certain hope of the Resurrection, we share the news of Eric Carl's death earlier this week. Eric was a beloved member of our congregation whose faith, teaching, and leadership modeled Christian faith and service for so many of us.

Please join us next Saturday morning (February 7, 2026) at Hope Lutheran Church (1901 Middleborough Rd.) for Eric's Memorial Service. Visitation at 10:00am in the narthex; worship at 11:00am in the sanctuary.

May Eric rest in peace and rise in glory.
