Be stong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go. Joshua 1:9
Operation Joshua is a ministry of Hope Care to honor and support our men and women on active military duty. It is a ministry to remember, encourage, support and pray for Hope Lutheran family members and friends who are on active duty.
We do this by posting a special bulletin board with photos and information on each military person. We regularly pray, individually and corporately, for each person identified on the bulletin board. We send these special people a letter to let them know we are praying for them and will also send cards and letters of encouragement. We actively encourage the Hope Lutheran family to become "Prayer/Pen Pals" with individual military persons. We also periodically send CARE packages to our friends on active duty.

Needle "Works" 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 shawls that bring 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.

This ministry of HopeCare is a powerful way to connect our homebound or hospitalized members with Hope Lutheran's communion experience of the body of Christ. Hope Lutheran's communion servers receive approximately one hour of training.
