What's new at Hope.

  1. Thursday Morning Bible Study Starts June 4th

    Debbie BjorkMay 13th, 2015Women of Hope
    Come join the Women of Hope for a summer Bible study on Thursdays from 10:00 – 11:30 a.m., June 4th – July 30th in the 5th grade class room (except July 16th and  23rd).
     A recent string of popular-level books written by the New Atheists have leveled the accusation that the God of the Old Testament is nothing but a bully, a murderer, and a cosmic child abuser. This viewpoint is even making inroads into the church. How are Christians to respond to such accusations? And how are we to reconcile the seemingly disconnected natures of God portrayed in the two testaments? Come read and discuss Paul Copland”s “Is God A Moral Monster.”

  2. Powerful Testimony

    Geno HildebrandtMay 12th, 2015Community Updates

    Dearly Beloved, I just posted the powerful testimony of a former Hope Chapel participant.  You can find her story on my blog here.  She tells how sharing about her same-sex attraction in the church led to isolation and deep despair.  Jesus is bringing healing.  But her story echoes a major theme of Sunday’s sermon–we must be able to talk about this subject among ourselves and embrace those who struggle with this orientation.  –geno

  5. Imagine Art’s Gallery Exhibit

    Imagine Art Gallery Exhibit: 

    All Things New

    Revelation 21:5, “He who was seated on the throne said, ‘I am making everything new!’ ”

    All Things New exemplifies transformation or the movement from old to new.  It celebrates new life and the spirit, mental and physical renewal of the artists in our community.

    The Bible teaches that “anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old is gone; a new life has begun!” (2 Corinthians 5:17).  Through this and other teachings, we at ImagineArt understand that in order to make room for new life, the old one must first disappear. The loss of the old makes plenty of room for the new. It allows for the renewal of our mind, and makes space for the joys of life, love, and beauty to enter through everyday experiences.
