  3. Fostering Hope: A Future & A Hope Conference 2026

    A Future & A Hope 2026 brings families, professionals, and churches together for practical tools, connection, and hope.

    A Future & A Hope (AFAH) is Fostering Hope’s annual conference designed to equip, encourage, and inspire everyone touched by foster care and adoption. This full-day event brings together foster, adoptive, and kinship families; child-welfare professionals; church leaders; and community members who want to better support children and families.

    Attendees experience practical workshops, inspiring keynote speakers, and meaningful connection with others who understand the journey. Whether you’re caring for children, supporting families, or building a trauma-informed community, AFAH offers tools, insight, and hope for every role.

    Join us as we learn together, strengthen families, and create a brighter future for children in Central Texas and beyond.

  5. Palm Sunday

     

    All ages come ready to wave palms and proclaim the truth of Jesus being the Messiah whom God promised would come – the Son of God, the King of Heaven, the Light of the World come to earth to rescue us from darkness. John 12

    “I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God, “who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.” Revelation 1:8.

    When Jesus entered Jerusalem on a donkey (Jewish king’s signal of peace), a small contingent of Earth gathered in the city welcomed Him as Messiah. Our reenactment – no matter how small – joins us with the larger Body of Christ on the same day – millions – in joyfully anticipating the prophetically promised Return of the King! 

    Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion! Shout aloud, O daughter of Jerusalem! Behold, your King is coming to you; righteous and having salvation is He, humble and mounted on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey. Zechariah 9:9

    And we look toward the day when as – Jesus Himself – said of His final return, “And they” – the entire world – will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.” Matthew 15.

    Rejoice!
