The Hope Blog

Bring your friends, family, and neighbors to enjoy a special program of music and readings of the Christmas season. Preschoolers sing, elementary kids sing, we sing! We’ll close with our traditional “birthday pop-up” version of 12 Days of Christmas. Then we’ll go to the Family Room for snacks and goodies!

Please bring either:
• two dozen of your favorite cookies,
• a sandwich tray or
• veggie or fruit or mixed platter
for the reception immediately following the service.

Advent is just around the corner… the season when we gather to worship our King in song, scripture, and joyful anticipation. Come lend a hand and help us prepare for this beautiful season! Let’s make our spaces glow with beauty, love, and laughter… together.

All ages welcome after the 10AM service on November 23rd! We’ll do the family thing and pull decorations from the attic and closets and make Hope’s Sanctuary and Family Room festive together.

Sign up on Realm (you get lunch that way).

On November 9, 1938, hordes of German paramilitary and citizens attacked Jewish citizens, their homes, schools, businesses, cemeteries and synagogues in what became known as Kristallnacht — the Night of Broken Glass. 

Over the last decade synagogues around the world have participated in leaving their lights on all night on Nov. 9th.  Churches worldwide are joining them to “let their lights shine in the darkness” Saturday, Nov. 9th in solidarity with the Jewish people, to stand against anti-semitism. At Hope Chapel, we will place about 50 “LED candles” in each of our windows visible from the streets, and yard signs out front indicating the purpose.
