Worship Service

You are invited to join and worship with us at the corner of Tecumseh Rd. and Pumphouse Rd. in White Swan! Our service begins at 10:30am with a lunch afterward.

During Sunday's worship service we sing praise songs, traditional hymns, and hymn rewrites with the whole group. It is a joy to hear the folks from White Swan worship the Lord "in Spirit and Truth". We have a time of silent confession and prayer as well as prayers for the children in the church, nearby reservations, supporting churches, and our community. Pastors Chris Granberry or Joshua Tsavatewa finish the time of prayer with the Lord's prayer before delivering the sermon.

Come and Eat!

In Native America and for many First Nations people there is a wonderful tradition of feeding the soul and the body at any service or ceremony.  At Hope Fellowship, we always have a meal together after Sunday morning worship as well as before Tuesday night Youth Group.  What a wonderful way to look forward to the ultimate banqueting table in Heaven with our Father!

We serve the meal family style and the children and youth serve and clean up with us. It is a wonderful time of fellowship and training in good habits for some of the little ones. We prepare enough food for at least 100 people for our Sunday meals. If we have a smaller crowd, that is okay, the folks that come take all leftovers home with them anyway!

Children at Hope Fellowship

After we pray for the children, they break off into the children's time. We focus on the story of the Bible through singing, flannel board lesson, worksheets, and crafts.  We emphasize who God is, who Jesus is, and what God has done.  The children absolutely love church, because they have fun, get loved, and learn.  We love seeing the kids have fun and helping them think about God and who He is. 

Ninety percent of the children who attend Church each Sunday come without parents. The Church and the kids’ small group leaders serve as their “surrogate parents” for the day. Children stay with their small groups for the entire service as they learn about Jesus together as a family. Over the past year, we’ve had about 250 different children come to Hope Fellowship on Sunday.

Youth at Hope Fellowship

In addition to our Tuesday night Youth Group meetings, the youth play important roles in the Sunday worship service by helping set up, serve meals, clean up and help lead prayers and worship. They are also offered worksheets that go along with the sermon as it starts.

Transportation

If you live in the community and would like a ride to church, let us know by contacting Kealen Farris - (509)430-7319

Reliable transportation is not easy to come by on the reservation, so the ability to provide folks with a ride to church is very important. Through the generosity of our supporters we have been able to buy and maintain two full-sized school busses, four 15 passenger vans and a 20 passenger shuttle bus. We are able to transport an average of 70 people to Hope Fellowship every week and 70 teenagers to Youth Group on Tuesday night.
