Children's Ministry

Dear Parents,

As a way to partner with you as you disciple your children, we are happy to provide you with a PDF of the HomeFront Weekly handout.

HomeFront 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!

Family Together Time for October 14

Kindergarten AtHome Weekly for October 14

Elementary AtHome Weekly for October 14

Calling all kids aged 9 and older. Do you enjoy being with little kids but wish you had more skills in order to take care of them? Are you an older brother or sister who needs ideas on how to keep your younger siblings entertained and out of trouble? Do you want little kids to follow your instructions?

Join Ariel Czerwinski and Hala Tompkins for Babysitting 101 on Saturday, August 18, from 9-10:30am. Topics to be covered include:

• How to create a plan for your babysitting assignment (ideas for activities, crafts and games).
• What information you need before parents walk out of the house (emergency contact info and allergy info form).
• What to do if someone gets an “owie” ? (Basic first aid and when to call 911.)
• Why “stranger danger” is a good thing. (Safety and common sense.)

Kids who complete the class will leave with a Babysitting Resource Kit and a certificate of completion.

This class is almost full. Contact Hala to sign up today!

Are you looking for encouragement in your parenting journey? Join Hala and other experienced parents for an encouraging morning of talking about creating a Christian home.

Sign up for the class and childcare by contacting Hala.

The baby bottle donation drive for Austin LifeCare was a big success! Thank you to all of you who brought your filled bottles back to Hope by August 23. We were able to deliver more than $700 to ALC this week.

Thanks for participating in this effort with the 3-5th graders of Hope Chapel.

The Kids of Hope are filling up baby bottles with coins to bless Austin LifeCare in their ministry to mothers, fathers and babies. If you would like to participate in this donation drive, pick up a baby bottle from the basket in the foyer or the coffee shop. Take it home, fill it up and bring it back to Hope Chapel by August 23. We’ll deliver the filled bottles to Austin LifeCare on Anderson Lane. There are plenty of bottles if you’d like to take extras for your family and friends.

Questions? Contact Hala.
