  3. Parent/Child Class & Dedications coming in October

    Dear Parents of Hope,

    Our next Parent/Child Dedication class is Wednesday, October 30 and in it we’ll cover the “why” of child dedications and principles for creating a Christian home. If you want to dedicate a child this fall or simply be encouraged in your parenting journey, please join Pastor Matt Ryniker and Children’s Ministry Director, Hala Tompkins for an evening of encouragement and equipping as you prepare to dedicate the newest member of your family to the Lord Jesus.

    Class starts at 6pm and we’ll be done by 7:30. Sign up for the class and childcare by emailing hala.

    The Sunday morning dedication service is scheduled for November 10, 2024

     

  4. HopeKids Classes — What to Expect During the School Year

    Dear Parents,

    The HopeKids ministry is happy to be able to provide classes for kids of all ages on Sunday mornings! Here’s what to expect on Sundays during the school year.

    When you arrive, a greeter will escort you to the coffee shop. There you will find the HopeKids kiosk and check in station. One of our friendly volunteers will be glad to get your kids registered and checked in for the morning. Once you are checked in, you and your children will be escorted to their appropriate classes.

    You can pick up your children from those same classrooms when the service ends.

    We look forward to meeting you and your kids this Sunday at Hope Chapel!

  6. Women of Hope Fall Books & Breakfast

    Perhaps no other book of the Bible feels as inaccessible and as intimidating to us as the very last one. Two thousand years ago, John’s Revelation was circulated and read aloud among seven churches in Asia Minor. Those who heard the letter understood it and drew encouragement from its message. The same can be true for us today. Over 10 sessions of verse-by-verse Bible study, Jen Wilkin helps us discover how the last book of the Bible—the culmination of God’s great story—speaks both a steadying word of assurance and a strong call to endure to the church in every age.

    Who: Women available on Thursday mornings

    Dates: Thursdays, September 12th to November 14th

    Time: 9:30-11:30am
