An evening in the Psalms, led by David Taylor

The Music of the Psalms in Church History

 Date And Time

Sunday, May 3, 2020.   6:00 PM – 7:30 PM

 Location

Christ Church

112 Medina Street.   Austin, TX 78702

For two thousand years Christians have found the Psalter to be an invaluable resource for worship and prayer. And, like the original psalmists, Christians have felt compelled and inspired to set the text of the psalms to music through the ages.

In collaboration with local musicians, David Taylor, past Hope Chapel arts pastor and now assistant professor of theology and culture at Fuller Theological Seminary and author of Open and Unafraid: The Psalms as a Guide to Life, will explore how Christians in different periods of church history have sung the psalms within corporate worship—and sung them quite differently—in the Apostolic, Patristic, Medieval, Renaissance, Reformation, and Contemporary eras.    Join us for a stimulating evening of song, image and speech!

N2Worship Camp coming to Austin Oaks on July 30!

N2Worship Camp at Austin Oaks starts on July 30!

Sign up now for the south N2Worship Camp coming to Austin Oaks on July 30 through August 10,  Monday through Friday mornings, 9:30am to 12:30pm.

Austin Oaks Church is located at 4220 Monterey Oaks Blvd, Austin 78749, near Mopac and William Cannon and across the street from Hope in the City.

We have completed our camp at Northwest Fellowship and are now gearing up for our south camp which will begin at 9:30am on Monday, July 30 at Austin Oaks Church. (Notice that start time is at 9:30am instead of 9am.) Hope in the City will also be partnering with us in this south camp.  It is wonderful to realize that many churches in Austin value, as we do, this endeavor to train and raise up worshippers, worship team members, and worship leaders.

Ages 9 and older are welcome! We will spend 3 hours a day for 10 days working, playing and singing to the glory of our Great God.  Our staff of seasoned worship leaders and experienced music educators are devoted to helping students grow in their musical gifts and in their relationship to God through musical worship.  It is a rich two weeks which culminates in a student-led worship time when friends and family are invited to join in.

Registration cost is $275.  Please let us know as soon as possible if you are planning to come to the south camp.

Hope Prayer Room Training tomorrow, May 19, 9AM – 2PM

Last reminder about the Prayer Room training tomorrow, May 19 from 9AM-2PM at Hope Chapel.

The Hope Prayer Room is not affiliated with Hope Chapel per se, but two of our members, Colin and Melissa Dwyer, are on the leadership team. Their team is offering this training at Hope Chapel for worship leaders, worship team members, intercessors, and everyone who wants to grow in and learn more about prayer and worship.  All ages are welcome.  They will share their vision and values and will also lead us in “practicing” what we are learning. We expect this to be a rich and satisfying time together!

Hope Chapel has a history of joining with other churches in worship and prayer for Austin, and this is a new opportunity to participate in a city-wide effort.

The Hope Prayer Room is housed in the ADRN headquarters on East 51st street.   Presently HPR offers several 2-hour shifts of prayer and worship times weekly.  Their goal is to see more 2-hour shifts covered with worship and prayer and to train more worshippers and leaders to that end. Their long-term vision is to see 24/7 prayer and worship to the Lord for our city.  Another important part of this training is to prepare us to participate in on-going intercessory prayer and worship during times of crisis.

The training tomorrow at Hope Chapel is a prerequisite for worship leaders and team members to be able to lead worship at the Hope Prayer Room. It also opens the door for us to join existing worship teams who lead at HPR, either weekly or monthly, and lastly, to rally together for worship and prayer when disaster strikes.  

We hope to see you at Hope Chapel tomorrow morning at 9am! Let’s press in to see more worship and prayer in and for the city of Austin!  For His glory and for the good of our city!

Worship Night Friday, January 19 from 7-8:30pm
