Deb Dorman Retirement Gala

It’s been 40 years since Debbie Dorman began leading worship at Hope Chapel and she’s retiring! Though she’ll always be a worshiper, she’s moving into a season of fewer responsibilities at Hope. And we’re having a party for her on Saturday, April 21st to show her how much we appreciate all she’s done these 4 decades – the life of Hope Chapel.

Deb has said, “Please don’t make it all about me.” We are doing it anyway!

Debbie Dorman at Hope Chapel 

More than any one person at Hope, Deb has led us into worship week after week, month after month, year after year, showing us how to seek the Father’s face. She has led us deeper in pursuit of worshiping God. And in the background, she has mentored worship leaders, written songs, led multiple worship teams, directed choirs, overseen young worship students, called out excellence in musicians, joined with other churches in writing music, protected the body by choosing scriptural worship songs, done the nitty-gritty administrative work, and above all else, never stopped being a worshiper herself. Together with her husband, Jack, they have Sunday after Sunday cried out to God, humbly, honestly, and passionately while encouraging us to do the same.

Come celebrate the gift Debbie is and has been to Hope Chapel!

Children’s Baptism Class

Hello Parents of Hope!

Our annual baptism Sunday is scheduled for June 3, 2018. If your child has been asking about being baptized this year, please plan on attending two classes with Matt Ryniker and Hala Tompkins on May 9 and 23. We’ll begin at 6:30 and be done before 8.

Designed for children aged eight and older, these two classes are designed to help parents and kids determine together if this is the right year for baptism. Because of this, parents are asked to attend class with their children each week.

Contact Hala if you have more questions or would like to sign up for the class. Childcare will be provided upon request.
