  2. Digital Prints & Wood Originals Summer Art Project Benefits our Renovations

    You have probably noticed the large wood panels blocking the Family Room windows. One of our Hope Chapel family, artist Carnie Littlefield (son of Carnie & Kiki), is creating beautiful paintings on them to benefit our renovations.

    DIGITAL PRINTS: Prints of the final works will be sold, to help raise funds for our renovations.

    ORIGINALS ON WOOD: Prints of the final works will be sold, to help raise funds for our renovations.Raffles will be held through the project to win the original paintings to take home once the renovations are done.

    WATCH: LIVE video streaming is on Instagram @r.carnie while Carnie is on site painting. Most painting happens Saturdays & Sundays, 9:00 AM-1:00 PM. Thanks to Carnie for this generous offer of his time and talent!

  3. Fall Books & Breakfast is Coming!!!

    “There’s a seamless thread woven through every story in the Bible that connects its people, places and promises to a greater overarching story.”
    Whether you’ve grown up hearing Bible stories or you’re exploring Scripture for the first time, the full story of the Bible can be overwhelming. Experience the Bible as a whole as you gain clarity and confidence in your understanding of Scripture. Discover a biblical context that reshapes and brings to life stories from the Old and New Testaments in the study “Seamless.”

  5. World Welcome Opportunities!

    The end of summer is near, and with that comes a rush of University students back into Austin gearing up for another year. Around 6000 of these students come from all over the world and have basic needs that we can meet as the hands and feet of Jesus.

    Watch this video, or read below!

     

    Friendship Family/ Individual:

    You can become a support and a friend to one, or many, international students looking for a connection! Show them around Austin, invite them into your home for a meal, take them grocery shopping… there are many ways to connect with a student!

    ESL Conversation Partners or English classes:

    You can meet with a student to intentionally help them practice their English, or take on a group of students and lead an English class. Hope Chapel has plenty of resources for this, so teaching degree not required.

    World Welcome will also be facilitating regular gatherings for international students interested in staying connected. We would love to have Hope-ites participating in these activities as well.

    Please contact Christine Wilson to find out more!
