Joelene MichelAugust 10th, 2026Community Updates
Come join the Women of Hope for Thursday Books & Breakfast for a 7-session study on the book Discerning the Voice of God by Priscilla Shirer. If hearing God has seemed challenging, Priscilla Shirer invites you to explore a more intimate relationship with Him, one that can make hearing Him—His will, His heart, and His voice—your ongoing experience. Discover how you can listen with greater confidence, clarity, and discernment.

Sign up HERE!

The MomCo@Hope Registration Now Open

Dear Mamas,

This year the MomCo is bringing back ’90s friendship and community. You may not even remember a time when you couldn’t make a phone call when you weren’t at home or when a friend showed up at your house without texting first. Back in the ’90s, that was normal life.

This year at the MomCo, we’re going to practice showing up, making real connections with real people, being a good friend, and loving others even when it isn’t convenient to do so.

If you are looking for real community, join us! We’re Good Company and we’re saving a seat for you.

with love,

The MomCo@Hope
