What's new at Hope.
This summer, I invite all of you to take my Old Testament Studies & Reliability of the Bible class. All classes will be virtual and usually around 5 minutes or less. This is video #9. I will put all of the videos on a YouTube playlist so you can easily find previous videos when you want to catch up.
Thanks!
Every other year, we welcome international students at UT in a very practical way by making available free furniture and household items. We focus on the graduate students who come from overseas with nothing but their suitcases. They don’t go into the dorms on campus, but rather apartment housing that is either lightly furnished or unfurnished. Of course, it is open to all the international students!
We Need Your Donated Items
Bring your donated items! These can be gently used chairs, tables, bed frames (no mattresses, please), drawers, lamps, desks and bookshelves. Also we need household goods: lamps, plates, pots and pans, cups, coffee makers, toasters, irons, towels, dish towels, sheets and pillow cases, etc.
DROP OFF: Saturday, August 6th – furniture/household items can be brought into the Family Room.
SET UP THE GIVEAWAY: Friday, August 12th from 6-8:00 p.m.
HELP HOST THE GIVEAWAY: Saturday, August 13th from 7:30 am to 4:00 pm. Can you collect, deliver and/or help out on the day of the event? There are lots of places to help, even if you aren’t able to lift!
Volunteer English Conversation Partners (no teaching experience necessary) needed for the Fall Semester. Students sign up at the Furniture Give-Away.
Many students who will come for the Furniture Give Away will want to connect with us for friendship, experiencing out USA culture, and a chance to hang out for a meal or holiday (to see what it’s like to celebrate Christmas or Thanksgiving).
Volunteer today!

A new exhibit opens soon in our sanctuary gallery: Sharyn Richey’s “The Tree and the Forest.”
In the artist’s words:”Basically it expresses the subconscious need to find meaning (tree) amidst the noise, confusion and fear (forest) of our contemporary world. By using various mediums my working process reflects and symbolizes a search for pathways out of the wilderness and toward new insights and hope.”
“After years as a parish priest I retired so that I could return to my first calling as an artist. I began my studies in art at the University of Texas and credit professors John Guerin and Loren Mozley with encouraging me into painting. I feel that my time as a priest has given my work greater depth because it now carries an appreciation for the strength of the human spirit in the face of great challenges.”
