The Installation of Lauren Chambers
We are glad you are here to celebrate the ministry of Hope Lutheran Church and the installation of our new pastor, The Reverend Lauren Chambers. Hope has a rich history of faithful ministry in this community and today marks the beginning of a new chapter for Hope. We acknowledge the work of the Holy Spirit in bringing us together with Pastor Lauren. We thank God for the many gifts he has blessed us with and invite you to join us in the praying for continuing guidance of his Son, the Christ, Jesus.
