  2. Lunch with our Workers

    Our friends have finally made it back stateside after quite a long Covid lockdown in Asia, and they are so excited to be with us! Even if you’re new to Hope, or don’t remember them, I encourage you to stay after the service Oct 24 to hear some encouraging and hopeful God stories.

    As always, lunch will be provided. RSVPs are greatly appreciated, especially if you have food allergies. Please visit Realm to RSVP.

    Sunday, Oct. 24

    12-1:30pm

  3. FAM Brunch

    Interested in hearing more specific testimony of God’s faithfulness through foster care and adoption? 

    Join us Saturday, Nov. 6 at 1000am for brunch at Mark Proeger’s home. 

    Hear from individuals engaged in different aspects of orphan care – including current foster/adoptive parents, adults who grew up with foster siblings in their home and those with intimate knowledge of the child protective services system.  There will be opportunity to ask questions and learn more about the process of becoming a licensed foster or adoption home. 

    While anyone is welcome to attend, this is a *great* place for those with a stirring from the Lord to open their homes to kids, no matter where you may be on that journey.

  5. BSF Young Adults’ Class Starts Monday, Sept. 13th

    Mondays, 6:30-9:45 p.m. in the Hope Chapel Den (upstairs)

    The Bible Study Fellowship (BSF) Young Adult class meets every Monday evening starting Sept. 13th to hear a teaching and discuss a portion of Scripture. If you are between the ages of 18-35, you are invited to join us! Please just come or reach out to Suzi Raines if you have any questions!

  6. FAM Fall Book Study

    This fall, FAM (Hope’s Foster Adoptive Ministry) will be leading a book group during Family Night. 

    We will be reading Until Every Child is Home by Todd Chipman. 

    Joining this study is far from a commitment to taking kiddos into your home. This book explores why the church should care about orphan ministry. Todd Chipman discusses how foster care and adoption align with bringing the Gospel to a broken world. He explains the multiple support roles it takes for foster and adoptive parents to succeed and outlines how the church can step up into these roles. 

    Whether you are interested in foster care and adoption personally or are wondering why on earth people at Hope Chapel currently pursue it – come join us 🙂 

    Questions or RSVP – Contact Mandy aryniker@gmail.com 

    Family Night starts Sept 8, running Wednesday nights 6-7:30pm throughout the Fall.
