New and experienced helpers are welcome to join us.

We will meet downstairs in the Kindergarten classroom at 1145 and wrap up by 1230. Parents are also welcome to attend.

RSVP to Hala or just show up. All are welcome.
The MomCo@Hope Registration Now Open

Dear Mamas,

This year the MomCo is bringing back ’90s friendship and community. You may not even remember a time when you couldn’t make a phone call when you weren’t at home or when a friend showed up at your house without texting first. Back in the ’90s, that was normal life.

This year at the MomCo, we’re going to practice showing up, making real connections with real people, being a good friend, and loving others even when it isn’t convenient to do so.

If you are looking for real community, join us! We’re Good Company and we’re saving a seat for you.

with love,

The MomCo@Hope

The Fall Registration link is now open.

“Smiles & Stories” Potluck Shenanigans Social on Sunday, June 14th, After the Service
Hope Chapel of AustinJune 10th, 2026Community Updates

Join us in the Family Room, immediately after the morning service, for our monthly Smiles & Stories Potluck Shenanigans Social! Suggested sides for our fellowship time: please bring a fruit or green salads, pasta or a dessert or anything else you’d like to eat – to go with the pizza Hope is providing.

Wear a silly hat or make one at our silly hat station. Take a photo and post it on Realm.

An open mic for sharing testimonies, encouragement or an answer to the question, “If your current season of life or if Hope Chapel was a potluck dish, what would it be and why?” Guidance about sharing over the Open Mic can be found here.

Help reset the space (chairs, cleaning kitchen, tables, sweep). It’s good to keep our church “home” tidy.

Looking forward to seeing you there!
