Hope Lutheran in Port St. Lucie rebuilds from the ashes > Hope Lutheran Church, Port St. Lucie, suffered a setback on Jan. 4, 2004 when an arsonist burned it to the ground. Four years later, on June 6, 2008 the Dedication of the new building (out of the ashes of the old and on the same spot) was dedicated to the glory of God. The Reverend Paul Lutze, assistant to the bishop, preached at the service. Thanks be to God for this new begining! |
