WELCOME

​

We welcome you to Hope Ridge!

• Hope Ridge is welcoming you to two in-person services. A more Traditional Service is at 8:45AM in the Chapel, and the Contemporary Service is at 10:30AM in the WFLC.  No RSVP is required.  Livestream will still be available on Facebook.com/hoperidgeumc  on Sunday morning, join in the chat to praise, pray, and worship with one another.  Also, we ask that you fill out a weekly online connection card whether participating online or in-person.  Be a part of the community of faith together!

• In place of altar flowers this year- Join the "Celebrations in 2021!"  Each week Hope Ridge offers you a chance to celebrate-- the life of a loved one, a birthday, an anniversary, or other special moments in your life-- with a gift to the church.  Sign up via the SignUpGenius, and your celebration will be included in the weekly eUpdate.
