Prayer

Prayer Team

Send a Prayer

Prayer is one of the most vital tools we have as believers. It is what Christian people do to lift each other up and follow the path that Jesus walked.

Hope’s Prayer Ministry Team is devoted to prayer. They receive prayer requests by email or regular mail twice a week and they thoughtfully pray and lift up the concerns of our church family to God. Consider joining us in prayer. Let us know if you’d like to be a Prayer Warrior.

Creative Ministries

“Out of the believer’s heart shall flow rivers of living water.” John 7:38

Meals That Heal

Food is one way to share Christs love and our care for one another. Jesus uses food to heal and bring a word of promise to His church in the Lord’s Supper. Not only is the love of God shared in the Lord’s Supper, but whenever we care for one another. We need volunteers to prepare and deliver meals to those struggling with serious life challenges. Contact Barb at hopecare@fargohope.org or call 701.235.6629 for more information about how to get involved.

Visitation Ministry

The book of Acts tells us that it is the task of all Christians to care for one another, and we do just that in many and various ways through HopeCare. We invite you to share your time, talent, energy and God-given gifts to engage in our Visitation Ministry. A few short hours a month in conversation and prayer can make a tremendous difference to those who you visit. It will provide hope and strength, people know they are not alone, and that God and His people are a very present help in time of need. Your visit will encourage all people to know the love of Jesus Christ. For more information or to become a Visitation Minister contact Barb at hopecare@fargohope.org or call 701.235.6629.

HOSPITALIZED?
Please let us know by calling the Church Office at 701.235.6629 or emailing hopecare@fargohope.org. Our pastors want to visit and provide care. Hospitals will not notify us when you are admitted.
