Hope is for Sissies

In a recent episode of the show "House" the main character tells a patient that hope is for sissies. Those words became the theme for our next series based on the book of 1 Peter. 1 Peter is filled with words of hope for a people who are facing trials and dangers for doing the things that we take for granted like gathering for worship and telling others about our faith. As we make our way through the book we will explore whether House's words are reality or foolishness.

This Sunday our text is 1 Peter 1.1-9 Our service starts out with that bit of video from "House" where he tells a patient that hope is for sissies. Next comes the songs of the day
Sing to the King; Holines, and Jesus Paid it all.

We continue our worship with prayer and the giving of our gifts. A drama comes just before the message entitled, "We've got time". The message for this week is "Hope is for sissies: a living hope". We'll close with prayer and a final song, "No Sacrifice".
