Citywide Prayer Gathering with a time of blessing for the Davises and Hope Chapel

Every year a different city graces the cover of the Seek God for the City prayer guides and this year Austin is that city. So this year we join as many people as we can fit in the building for a citywide prayer service on Thursday, February 26th at 7:00 p.m.

Hope Chapel was selected because a number of Austin pastors wanted to, in addition to praying for the city, bless Hope Chapel for how God has used her in bringing churches together, and honor specifically, Dan and Joann Davis, for his ongoing passion of uniting pastors and congregations in joint prayer and ministry for Austin.

Worship Night Tonight at 7PM …speaking to one another with…songs from the Spirit.

Come spend an extended time of worship and ministry this Friday, September 12th from 7-9:00 p.m. Everyone is welcome – invite your friends, former Hopites, and guests. We want to honor God and increase the praise going up from our planet to the One who is worthy of ALL praise.

Let’s prepare our hearts to spend this time in God’s presence: “Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord’s will is. Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with the Spirit, speaking to one another with psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit. Sing and make music from your heart to the Lord, always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.” Ephesians 5:15-20
