Decade of Mission at Hope Lutheran - Hope Lutheran Church

April 2010 • Vol. 10 Issue 04 

To encourage all people to know the love of Christ 

Decade of Mission at Hope Lutheran 

Looking backwards is useful. It helps us see where we have been and how 

God has been at work through us, guiding our journey to bring us to where 

we are today. As we begin a new decade, I invite you to join me in taking a 

look back and celebrating all we have accomplished together since 2000. 

2000 – Y2k scare. It was a wet year – June 

19 rain caused a flood that impacted many 

members of Hope Lutheran and flooded the 

North Campus basement. Hope Lutheran 

began the decade with baptized membership 

of 6780 souls and a projected budget of 

1.645 million. HopeCare and Alpha had been 

launched the year before and were just getting 

their legs under them. The congregation voted 

to build a sanctuary at the South Campus and 

to renovate the North Campus sanctuary. $2.7 

million was pledged to the Continuing the 

Journey called Hope campaign. 

2001 began with record energy costs. 

The 9/11 tragedy impacted us all. We 

experienced a recession and the budget 

was revised mid-year. Still we stayed 

mission focused. Wednesday Worship 

was launched at the North Campus as 

well as Hope Lutheran’s afterschool 

program. Construction of the South 

Campus Sanctuary and renovation of 

North Campus were underway. 

2002-2003 highlights included the first 

annual HopeFest celebration. First 

worship service was held in the newly 

constructed South Campus sanctuary and 

in the newly renovated North Campus 

sanctuary. Continued on page 2

2004 team-focused-ministry was fully implemented. 

Women’s Ministry staff position was added, launching a 

new day for Women’s Ministry at Hope Lutheran. Our first 

Habitat house was built (first time ever in this region that a 

congregation took the lead on a build). Since then we have 

built six Habitat homes. Small groups were also implemented 

and launched. 

2005 Pastor Dave Johnson announced retirement plans. 

FUEL worship service began. Nearly $85,000 was raised 

and given away in the form of special missions – focused 

benevolences to Habitat for Humanity, Churches United for 

the Homeless and the disasters caused by the Indonesian Tsunami and Hurricane Katrina. 

2006 was the first year we had more than 200 baptisms at Hope Lutheran. Global Mission expanded 

ministry in Central African Republic (CAR) and together we built the Central Temple in Bouar, 

providing an AIDS storage facility under the church building. Hope Lutheran’s generosity again 

exceeded its goal of $50,000 as $70,000 was given. 

2007 – Building Bridges to a Living Hope campaign was launched as 

we stretched ourselves once again to meet the needs of new and 

renewed education space at both North & South Campus. $3.27 

million was pledged. The campaign focused on Local, Regional, and 

Global themes which included a rural internship start – a Thrivent 

grant of $177,000 was secured to support internships. $150,000 of 

the pledges was dedicated to build a medical clinic in Gallo, CAR. 

2008 we celebrated the 50th A Decade of Mission 

Continued from Front Page 

Women’s Ministry 

year of Hope Lutheran Church and surpassed 10,000 members. 

2009 began with a historic flood. (Another one!) We were into a great recession; completed 

construction on Building Bridges project; launched a new vision for children’s ministry; Child Care 

Center services were added at the North Campus; Wednesday worship was added at the South 

Campus; Rural internship partnerships were launched; Hope Lutheran’s website was updated. 

Since 2000 staffing updates include: Addition of technology 

and media positions; two additional full time Student Ministry 

directors; Women’s Ministry director; FUEL director; four parttime 

worship leaders (which helps meet the needs of 10 services); 

and additional South Campus hospitality and HopeCare support. 

Some significant statistics highlighting the ministry and mission of 

Hope Lutheran: 2000-2009 

• Baptism = 1987 • Membership = added 3524 members 

• Funerals = 269 • Number of households = added 1404 

• Weddings = 734 • Budget: Projected = +1.055 Million 

• Confirmations = 1397 • Capital Campaign Pledges = 5.9 million 

These statistics are important in that they give us a picture 

of mission and ministry at Hope Lutheran, of what we have 

accomplished together focusing on the mission of Jesus. What 

these statistics do not address adequately, and what is far more 

important, is the interactions, relationships, countless acts of 

personal ministry and the stories of individual faith journeys. 

God has been at work in the midst of our journey! God is at work 

calling us to reach for the future He has in mind for us. 

My hope and prayer for us is that the next 10 years of Hope 

Lutheran’s future can be as productive for the kingdom of God as 

the last 10 years have been. And working together, guided by the 

Spirit of God, Hope Lutheran’s mission will continue to produce 

success and significance making a difference for God and His 

kingdom, not only in Fargo, but in our region and throughout our 

world.

Have Faith - End Hunger 

“Someone who sits down and writes a letter about hunger almost literally has to be saving 

a life.” Paul Simon – U.S. Senator from Illinois (1985-1997) 

Would you save someone’s life if you had the power? Of course you would! And 

you do have the power if you take to heart the words of former Senator Paul 

Simon. Many of us already help alleviate hunger by donating money or groceries to food banks 

but, with so many hungry people in the world, we would like to do more. Bread for the World is a 

collective Christian voice urging our nation’s decision makers to end hunger at home and abroad. 

A single decision by Congress can provide needed help to millions of people and this is why your 

letters are so important. By changing policies, programs and conditions that allow hunger and 

poverty to persist in the world, we provide help and opportunity far beyond what one individual 

can do. But your letters to Congress are necessary to make change happen because the poor cannot 

afford lobbyists. 

Since several tax measures expire this year, the 2010 goal of BFW is to pass legislation to protect and 

strengthen tax credits that benefit low-income families in the United States. These programs work. 

In 2005, the Earned Income Tax Credit alone lifted more than 5 million people above the poverty 

line so these families had more money left for food after paying necessary fixed expenses. Our 

church will have an Offering of Letters Sunday, April 18, but you can learn more by going to www. 

offeringofletters.org right now. The web site explains how the Earned Income Tax Credit works and 

also contains a sample letter to Congress. You can bring your letter to our BFW table April 18 or we 

will have form letters available for you to sign. Remember you may be saving a life! If you would be 

willing to work a shift at one of our tables, call Roger at 218-233-4550 to volunteer. 

FUEL Theme for April: Killing Me Softly 

Join us at FUEL as we continue our exploration on the seven 

deadly sins, with “Killing Me Softly.” We’ll find out what it is about 

each one of these seven deadly sins that can and does “Kill us 

Softly,” if we don’t come face to face with them.

FUEL is a worship service for those that might be looking for 

a connection with God and a connection with others. Faith 

Unleashed in Everyday Life – it empowers people to let their 

faith lead them in their lives and to be bold in that faith. FUEL 

meets every Thursday, 7:00pm, South Campus Discovery Center. 

We’d love to see you there!

Operation Joshua Update 

To help Operation Joshua run smoothly we need the assistance of the congregation. The 

program is for military personnel who are currently deployed to War Zones. The program 

must have the correct and current rank, name, mailing address and length of deployment of 

your military service member. We want to continue to thank them for their sacrifice. Please 

contact Randy or Dorothy at HopeOperationJoshua@yahoo.com with any information. 

Please stop at the Operation Joshua table to leave a quick message in a card or book. These 

are sent directly to the military members.

Grief Support Group Helps Heal Your Pain 

Prayer Shawls are a loving reminder of God’s Presence 

NeedleWorks Ministry is made up of 

caring knitters and crocheters who craft 

shawls laden with prayers. The Prayer 

Shawl is given to someone special as a 

loving reminder of God’s presence. The 

quiet prayers and busy needles create a 

shawl that brings physical warmth and 

spiritual comfort. Whispered prayers of 

hope mingle with the strands of yarn. 

The love of Jesus is expressed through a 

caring embrace, the embrace of a Prayer 

Shawl wrapped comfortingly around 

the shoulders of another. NeedleWorks 

meets every other Monday, 7:00pm. 

(See schedule on page 11.) 

Remember HopeCare When You are Cleaning 

As you prepare for cleanup week, think about Caring for the Community: We need gently used 

lamps, end tables, chest of drawers, mattresses, box springs, frames, bookcases, TVs (not consoles), 

vacuums, sofas, chairs and microwaves. No large appliances, please. 


These individuals have completed extensive training 

and are now prepared to be CareGivers to those in 

need in our church and community. Please continue 

to keep them in your prayers. 

Think about those you know in your family, 

workplace or neighborhood who would benefit from 

the confidential Christian care a Stephen Minister 

can provide. Call Amy Tronsgard or a pastor at Hope 

Lutheran, 235-6629 or visit www.fargohope.org 

under Ministries-HopeCare. 

Are you curious about what was in that Stephen Ministry Time Capsule? 

Go to www.fargohope.org under Ministries-HopeCare to view the contents. 

Grieving the loss of a loved one can overwhelm us with pain, sadness, anger, guilt and a range of other emotions. Sharing your thoughts 

and emotions with others who care and have experienced the loss of someone they love, is one of the most healing gifts you can give 

yourself. You are invited to join our Grief Support Group on Mondays, 6:30pm, North Campus.

Spotlight on Hopekids Volunteers 

Teresa Benson, Small Group Leader 

Teresa Benson has been a Sunday School teacher at Hope 

Lutheran Church for the past two years. Last spring she decided 

to take some time off from volunteering until she heard about 

the new Hopekids program. 

Teresa is currently a small group leader for 3 & 4 year olds 

and absolutely loves it! Previously, Teresa found it a challenge 

to maintain children’s attention for an entire hour. Now, with 

praise and worship time at the front of the hour, followed by 

a lesson taught/acted by a drama team, and ending with 20 

minutes of small group time, keeping a child engaged is no 

longer a problem. 

According to Teresa, “The colorful and exciting stage sets 

and props keep the kids excited to learn the lesson, and ageappropriate 

activities make the time go by quickly!” Teresa 

encourages others to become involved with Hopekids. She 

says, “It’s a fun and rewarding way to teach children about the 

Bible.” 

Genora Schjeldrup, Set Design 

“Praise God for the opportunity we have been given to inform 

God’s children about Him.” That is the philosophy Genora 

Schjeldrup holds true to her heart and faithfully demonstrates 

as a Hopekids volunteer. Genora is the creativity behind the 

imaginative drama set designs, props and costumes for the 3 & 

4-year-old classrooms at both campuses. 

She understands how important it is to see through a child’s 

eyes, capturing their attention and imagination for the teaching 

of Bible lessons. Genora says, “It is fun and simple to be a 

Hopekids volunteer, and the kids are so appreciative!” 

To find out how you can become a Hopekids volunteer,

Gallons of Gas 

Powerlife’s participants of the Youthworks 

mission trip to Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan 

are having their annual Gallons of Gas 

fundraiser. Please help us pay our way to 

Michigan by donating $15 for 5 gallons; 

$30 for 10 gallons; $60 for a full tank. 

We will need approximately 200 gallons of 

gas to get us to and from our destination. 

Thank you! 

Pancake Breakfast 

April 11 — both Campuses. 

Please bring your family and friends for 

some delicious pancakes, sausage, and 

more! All proceeds go to support our 

Junior High summer faith building trips. 

Minneapolis Mayhem!! 

Need a REAL summer break!? Leave 

Fargo and come down to the cities with 

us! We’re headed to the Metrodome to 

take in a Twins game and spend a whole 

day at Valleyfair. It’s an American getaway 

at its best! Ballgame, fried food, rides 

that make you scream, hanging out with 

friends…what more could you ask for!?
