Both in-person services move into our sanctuary on May 16. The times have changed too. We meet at 8:30 and 10:30 — another step towards returning to our pre-pandemic worship practices. The indoor services will be identical for now, and will include singing. To attend, please continue to use the registration form on on our website.
Our Covid Policy Has Changed
When our actions are guided by our love
for one another and our community,
we follow the way of living that Jesus modeled for us.
Esperanza Lutheran Church follows the recommendations of the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) concerning Covid. On Wednesday the CDC amended its guidelines.
If you are fully vaccinated we invite you to attend worship unmasked, however if you wish please feel free to continue wearing your mask. We expect that unvaccinated worshippers will continue to wear a mask inside the building for the safety of children, youth and those whose immune systems are compromised.
When you arrive, look for a grouping of chairs that matches the number of people on your registration. At the conclusion of the service, please exit promptly through the doors in the Fellowship Hall.

Coffee Hour To Be Re-imagined
The Zoom coffee hour is on hold as the council and our teams assess options for fellowship. Possibilities include a new day and time for the Zoom social hour as well as fellowship after in-person worship.
