If we asked you what you hoped for, what would you say? Better health, a raise at work, for the kids to make good decisions?

One definition of hope, the one we are most accustomed to, is a desire for a certain outcome. It is a child looking at the presents Christmas morning with a certain toy in mind. In ancient Bible times, hope had a second meaning: confident expectation.

Join us tomorrow morning as we look at hope in all of its definitions and see how it applies to our lives and faith.

Legacy family, because of your extravagant generosity through June's One Thing, we were able to take a car full of diapers, pull-ups, and wipes to the Missouri Slope Areawide United Way! Your donations are greatly appreciated to help support babies and children in need here in the Bismarck area.

Thank you for helping us be a Community of Impact. 🫶

Prayer warriors, it's been a while since we've been able to get together and pray for our church and each other. 🙏🙏

❤️ Shoes of Hope registration is now open! 👟

One of our favorite ministries of the year is almost here! Through Shoes of Hope, we'll welcome elementary and middle school students with new shoes, a devotional book, food, games, haircuts, and—most importantly—a reminder that they are loved by God and by this church community.

Do you know a family who could use a little extra help as the school year approaches? We'd love for you to share this opportunity with them.

✅ Register students here:

https://www.signupgenius.com/go/60B094AAAA928AAFF2-64679086-shoes

And stay tuned! Volunteer opportunities will be announced soon. We can't wait to come together once again to be a Community of Impact and help local students start the school year on the right foot.

Happy Independence Day! 🇺🇸

Today, we give thanks for the freedoms we enjoy and remember that, as followers of Christ, freedom is also a calling.

As our Bishop Lanette Plambeck reminded us in a recent letter, "In the Wesleyan tradition, freedom is not merely freedom FROM something. It is freedom FOR something: loving God, loving neighbor, pursuing mercy and justice, and participating in God's healing work in the world."

May this day be filled with joy, gratitude, and opportunities to share God's love with those around you. Happy 4th of July from your church family! ❤️🤍💙

This Sunday, we start a new sermon series entitled "Any Time, Any Place, Any Thing". When do you expect to "hear" something from God? Sunday mornings in service? During quiet time? How about the movie theater or a concert? God can speak to us through any thing, at any time, and in any place.

In this series, we will look at some of the ways God speaks to us through movies, books, and TV. The series starts off with Pastor Cory's all-time favorite movie, "Harvey". If you haven't seen it, you should. It stars Jimmy Stewart as Elwood P. Dowd, an affable character who is kind to everyone, but has a peculiar friend named Harvey. Join us this Sunday and hear what God has for you through "Harvey".

You can give:

✅ In person at Sunday worship

At Legacy, we strive to get outside our four walls and be a Community of Impact for Christ. 🫶 One way we do that is through our monthly "One Thing."

Drop off donations throughout the month:

✅ On Sundays in worship
✅ During the week at the office (9 am – 3 pm Monday – Thursday)
✅ Skip the line and ship to the church

Thanks for your extravagant generosity!
