Help ReconcilingWorks welcome a new Reconciling in Christ (RIC) community:
Hope Lutheran Church in Long Grove, Illinois.
Their welcome statement reads:
“Hope Lutheran Church is a place where everyone belongs. We believe all people are created in God’s image, and our differences make us stronger. Whoever you are, wherever you come from, and whatever your story — you are accepted, affirmed, and welcomed here.
Guided by our calling to Declare God’s love, Do God’s will, and Dance with the Spirit, we joyfully welcome people of every race, culture, age, gender identity, gender expression, sexual orientation, ability, marital status, economic status, and life experience to fully participate in the life of our community. We seek to live with compassion, mutual respect, and a commitment to opposing racism, discrimination, and prejudice of any kind.
Declaring God’s love means actively building a community where all are truly seen and valued. This congregation is known for its genuine warmth. At Hope, you’ll find acceptance, encouragement, and a community that truly cares — for you, and for the world God loves.“
