Walk Around Offering—
May 17th for The Banquet in Sioux Falls

(moved up a week to avoid Memorial Day weekend)

The Youth of Hope students will be serving meals
there again this year.

The Banquet ministry began in 1985 with a simple mission — to provide nourishment and fellowship for those in need. What started with just one meal per week has grown into a thriving program that now serves 16 meals every week across two locations in Sioux Falls.

At the heart The Banquet is our commitment to being a volunteer-based ministry. Every meal we serve is paid for, prepared by, and served by volunteer groups who generously give their time, resources, and compassion. These groups come not only from Sioux Falls, but also from surrounding communities, uniting people from all walks of life in a common purpose: to serve our neighbors with dignity and care.

Council Vacancy

There is one current vacancy for church council.  If you are interested in being appointed, please contact Amie Ascheman at amie@rlwlawyers.com and/or 320-249-5285 by June 2, 2026.  The term of the vacancy is until the annual meeting in January.

New Communication Too!  

We are excited to start using a communication tool for our congregation called Text In Church. Chris has been working diligently behind the scenes to prepare for its launch. This tool will help us stay better connected as a church community through text messages, automated phone calls, and emails.

To make sure everything is working properly, there will be a TEST text message and phone call sent out on April 27, 2026 to all members who have a phone number on file. If you do not receive either a text or a call on that day, please reach out so we can update our records. You can email Chris at

hopelutheran87@gmail.com or call the church office at (507) 872-6446. Even if your number is a land line, you should still receive the phone call portion of the test.

Congratulations to Our 2026 Scholarship Recipients
