Connect with Hope

First off: Wow!

Just two weeks ago we launched HopeOnline.tv, the online campus of Lutheran Church of Hope. In addition to listening to messages via our popular podcast, you can now watch weekend messages from Hope!

Here’s a quick run through of some of the interesting stats from these past few weeks:

• We had people from 42 different cities from around the world stop by and take a look at Hope ONLINE.
• The biggest day on our blog ever.
• Dozens of emails, Facebook posts and tweets from joyous Hopesters all across the land who can’t get enough of Hope ONLINE!

Thank you for making this such a successful launch! Join us as we continue to let our friends, families, co-workers–the world–know about Hope ONLINE.

If you need a quick guide on how to get started, check this post out. If you want to jump right in and start watching, just surf on over to Hope ONLINE and dig in.

Otherwise, if there are any ways that we can make this experience better for you, please don’t hesitate to share! You can always email me at digital(at)hopewdm.org. I’d love to hear your feedback.

Thanks Hopesters! And may God bless the building of his kingdom both online and offline!

Did you miss it? You may have been busy with family activities and visiting Lutheran Church of Hope in person, but we broadcasted our Christmas Eve services online this year.

Vince pulled me aside after the opening session and we had a little chit-chat. We talked Hope, Lutherans and what the future holds for us and our web ministry. Take a look:
