THE LITURGICAL CALENDAR

We at Hope Lutheran Church order our worship life around a liturgical calendar that has its roots in the practice and ritual of the ancient church.  We follow a liturgical calendar because it is a guide that helps us remember God's marvelous plan of salvation accomplished for the world through the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.  While nothing in the Bible commands us to do this, we find that annually retracing the story of our salvation serves to catechize us in the faith.  It also helps to connect us to the church catholic, the community of believers in Christ of all times, ancient and modern.
