Looking around not only in our churches, but in our neighborhoods, communities, and our country, we see how divided we are. Whether it’s a discussion about race, justice, politics, or religion, it’s easy to see the great divide between most Americans.  And it’s easy to let this divide sneak into the church - into Hope Fellowship - but we're not going to let that happen.  

Paul tells us to “make every effort to keep yourselves united in the Spirit, binding yourselves together with peace” in Ephesians 4:3. So as Christ followers, we should all have an active role in bringing unity into our relationships, communities and our church.  Around Hope Fellowship, unity will be a word you hear often as we pursue racial unity, community unity, and church unity.  I’m inviting all of you - all of Hope Fellowship - to be a part of unity-making in our world.  In the words of Jesus, “your strong love for each other will prove to the world that you are my disciples.”

 This is the time of pursuing unity, peace, justice, and love. I want to thank you in advance for the work you put in, Hope Fellowship. It will be worth it.

Join us for a screening of the film “Juneteenth: Faith & Freedom” on Friday, June 20, 2025 at 7:00 PM at the Frisco East Campus. This award-winning film by filmmaker Rasool Berry will be educational and will start important conversations as we celebrate Juneteenth. In this film, "A black man is troubled by the legacy of American slavery and the misuse of Christianity to justify it. He travels throughout Texas and discovers how the Juneteenth holiday reveals a resilient hope that empowered the formerly enslaved and their descendants to fight for freedom in an often unjust society.”
