Children's Ministry

Dear Parents,

It can sometimes be a challenge to find material for our kids to learn about the Bible with us at home. That is why we send home a page with kids every week describing what we learned and where we are heading next Sunday.

AtHome Weeklies are far more than a “Take-Home” page: they allow you to pre-teach the Bible lesson that will be taught next Sunday morning in our kids’ classes at Hope Chapel.  They are a valuable tool which can equip you to be the primary nurturers of your children’s faith in your home during the week.

Take some time this week to read through the scripture passages and do a couple of the activities with your children. You’ll be glad you did!

Hello Parents of Hope!

Our annual baptism Sunday is scheduled for June 2, 2019. If your child has been asking about being baptized this year, please plan on attending two classes with Matt Ryniker and Hala Tompkins on May 22 and 29. We’ll begin at 6:30 in the second grade classroom and be done by 8.

Designed for children aged eight and older, these two classes are designed to help parents and kids determine together if this is the right year for baptism. Because of this, parents are asked to attend class with their children each week.

Contact Hala if you have more questions or would like to sign up for the class. Childcare will be provided upon request.

Hey Hope Families,

Registration is now open for Discover 252, the summer camp run by TbarM Camps and scheduled for June 17-21, 2019, and hosted by our friends at Brentwood Bible Church.

This is a wonderful Christian camp opportunity for children of Hope as well as kids from all around Austin. Make plans now to attend and bring your friends.

The remodel is over and all of our kids’ classes are being held in the education wing of our main building again. Please join us for the fun as we reacquaint ourselves with the familiar spaces that are new again.

Your first stop on Sunday morning should be at a HopeKids Check In Kiosk. You will find one in the Family Room and another in the coffee shop. Print out name tags for each of your kids fifth grade and younger. Each child in our program needs to wear a nametag to class.

Classes for kids in Kindergarten and younger are on the ground floor. The rooms are marked to make it simple to find the one you need. Elementary classes are held upstairs and are also labeled.

Currently, all kids’ classes begin at 9:55 on Sunday. Age-appropriate worship, Bible lessons and games abound in all of our spaces.

As always, there will be friendly people in blue HopeKids t-shirts to help you in any way needed.

Come join us this Sunday!

Just in time for spring break:

Hope Chapel has been chosen as a pre-release location of the new movie, The Pilgrim’s Progress. We’ll play on the playground and eat dinner outside starting at 5. The movie will begin at 6:15 in the sanctuary. Bring a friend!

Contact Emily Harris for more details.

Calling all new parents! Have you had a baby in the past few months or years? Have you considered publicly dedicating your child to the Lord Jesus? Do you have questions about how to create a Christian home?

Plan to join Pastor Geno Hildebrandt and Children’s Ministry Director Hala Tompkins for two classes on Saturday, February 2 and 9, 2019. We will discuss the significance of child dedication, parents’ responsibilities in raising their children in the “fear and admonition of the Lord” and how to bless your children. We’ll also talk about Christian parenting and creating a Christian home. Couples are encouraged to attend these classes together.

We are sorry the time for reserving childcare has passed.
