Third Sunday After Pentecost - June 14, 2026

Moses tells the Israelites that they are called to be a priestly kingdom and a holy people. Jesus sends out the disciples as laborers into the harvest. In baptism we too are anointed for ministry, sharing God’s compassion with our needy world. From the Lord’s table we go forth to proclaim the good news, to heal the sick, and to share our bread with the hungry.

HOPE IS ALIVE!

Good morning everyone! Pastor Gaylene here! Hope this morning finds you all happy and well! I pray that God woke you up this morning with joy and gladness today! Just a quick reminder that worship time has changed for the summer. Worship begins at 9:00 here at Hope Lutheran. So just think about it. Come for worship and start the Lord’s Day off with worship and praise and the rest of the day is open for whatever great things you have planned! It’s kinda cool!

This week’s message is from Matthew 9: 35-10: 8. We will talk about Jesus calling the disciples. What an unexpected bunch of folks. These men and women were not pillars of the community. Matthew was a tax collector. James and John were uneducated fishermen. Philip doesn’t think anything can come from Nazareth. And then there was Peter. He is not quiet or reserved and who generally only opens his mouth to change feet. And yet, Jesus called these “misfit” folks to spread His gospel far and wide! Jesus loved them and taught them, blessed them and sent them out! Come this Sunday and find your place in this bunch and be loved and blessed.

We are a casual dress, coffee drinking bunch who welcome all who come through our doors. We would love to see YOU! This summer we begin worship at 9:00 am. Communion is the high point of our worship and ALL are welcome at the table of grace, mercy and forgiveness. There is room for YOU!

Come as you are.
Come and see.
Come and fellowship.
Come and worship.

See you Sunday. 9:00 am.
Hope Lutheran Church, Springtown, TX.
Love ya’!
PGC (Pastor Gaylene Chrystie)

The Second Sunday After Pentecost - June 7, 2026 - Sermon only

Though Jesus was a devout Jew who practiced his faith, he was criticized for eating with tax collectors and sinners—the religiously nonobservant. Jesus criticizes the self-righteous and reminds us that mercy is to be at the heart of our religious practices. God continues to be made known in those on the margins of society, like Matthew the tax collector and the hemorrhaging woman. As we gather each Lord’s day, we receive the healing that makes us well and sends us forth to be signs of God’s mercy for the world.

HOPE IS ALIVE!

Hi everyone! Pastor Gaylene here! I hope each of you are having a wonderful day and Happy June! Important announcements! Beginning this Sunday June 7…

NEW SUMMER WORSHIP TIME!
9:00 Worship beginning June 7.
Sunday School and Adult Bible Study is suspended until after Labor Day.

POTLUCK SUNDAY!
Sunday June 7. Following worship.

Breakfast Burritos this Saturday, June 6 from 8:00-10:00 AM

This week’s message comes from Matthew 9: 9-13, 18-26. These passages of scripture contain three different stories. First, the calling of Matthew. The next are the stories of the healing of the woman with the issue of blood and the raising of Jairus daughter from death. That’s a lot! So, I decided to focus on the story of Matthew. We will examine Matthew’s story in his repentance, faith, service and everlasting life and see if we find ourselves in his story. The sermon title is “You Can’t Be a Saint If You Are Not, First, a Sinner!” (Except for my Mamo) It’s really pretty cool.

Here at Hope we are a casual dress, coffee drinking congregation. So, come as you are. ALL ARE WELCOME! All are welcome in worship and to the potluck where there is always plenty. ALL ARE WELCOME at the LORD’S TABLE of grace, mercy and forgiveness where there is always room.

Saturday June, 6 8:00 am to 10:00 am Burrito Breakfast

Come as you are.
Come and see.
Come and worship.
Come and fellowship

See you Sunday!
Love y’all. Grace and peacefuls,
PGC (Pastor Gaylene Chrystie)
