  1. Monthly Newcomers Lunch – December 15th

    Are you new to Hope Chapel?

    We want to welcome you and get to know you better! Join us for our monthly Newcomers Lunch on December 15th. We’ll be in the Den (large room upstairs) as soon as we can manage after the service ends for about an hour.

    Please text the word Lunch to 512.645.1980 to let us know to expect you. Looking forward to seeing you there!

  2. Global Christmas is Here!

    It’s the season to bless our workers, both here and abroad, by remembering them and sending gifts.

    Write a note! 

    There will be stationary supplied in the coffee area for you to write a greeting or a blessing to a worker. HGT will collect these and mail them off.

    Give a gift!

    Out of the side doors of the sanctuary, under the stairs, there are ornaments you can pull off the wall and place in the envelope provided (be sure to lift them up in a quick prayer while you do this!). HGT will collect these and record the amounts after each service. Please be sure to mark the amount and your name on the envelope.

    Thank you so much for thinking, praying, and giving towards our workers! We pray this season will be a blessing to you and your family, as well!

     

  3. Farewell to the Cruzes

    Our time with José and Betsy Cruz has come to a close as they will be moving to Dallas to continue their work. We are sad to see them go, but so excited for what God has in store for them in their new environment! Hope Chapel will continue to love and pray for them and we’ll always welcome them home.

    Please join us for a cake reception after the service on December 1 to love on them and wish them well. If you’d like to send them off with notes of encouragment and words from the Lord they will happily receive them!

  5. FALL GIFTS NIGHT • Friday, November 8th • A Less Stressed, More Blessed Night 7-8:30 PM

    What Talents Have You Been Hiding? Sign-Ups Have Begun. This talent show requires you sharing your talents!

    We have poetry, a song, and a slide show already in the list!!

    Sign up with the curator, Cathy Tucek, today! 🎨 🎭💃🏽🕺🏼꠫🎤🤹🏻‍♂️🤣😢

    It doesn’t have to be perfect, just yours! Some talents are amazing performances from those with lovely voices and others are hilarious chances to laugh at your Hope Group’s Kazoo Band. It’s a variety show in which you provide the variety.

    WHAT GIFTS CAN I SHARE?
    Poetry, stand-up, a song, a dramatic reading, a comedy skit, and LOTS of silliness! In the last one, we had:
    • a funny song like Dorman WorshipMadLibs ala J &JP Cogdell
    • dramatic reading of a poem (your own or a favorite) ala Kevin Daniel, Mark Kovach or Liz Morgan
    • a choral group or solo piece or band ala Scott McDonald and Gang or Judah Lathem
    • a comedy interp ala the Fischers
    • a gravity-defying, prat-falling mime of the a certain dog flying in battle in a sopwith camel biplane ala Joe Friedman
    • a slide show with humorous comment ala Thomas Cogdell
    It’s license to do something crazy, fun, and outrageous or to showcase a hidden talent that you have that your friends like!

    WHAT IT’S NOT
    Not your first violin recital or an act randomly thrown together that wouldn’t have been entertaining even with rehearsal. Go with a basic skill level (juggling while eating an apple) or something funny/entertaining that doesn’t need much skill (your Hope Group‘s cheerleading cheer).

     

    THINK: what can I do that will help people be less stressed or more blessed?

    WHO CAN SIGN UP?
    Hope Groups are encouraged to do a song or skit together (include your kids).

    Solo acts are welcome. We’re looking for variety.
