Testimony Sunday

Come together to worship Jesus and learn about Him at 10AM. This week a few Hopites (what Hope Chapel folk are called ) who’ve prepared ahead of time will tell their stories of how they came to faith in Jesus and why they still trust and follow Him. Come be encouraged in your own faith in Christ and in God’s power and willingness to move in our the lives and the lives of every person we know and those we are yet to meet.

Please take this as an opportunity to invite people you know to church with you!

HopeKids classes through 5th grade meet weekly at 10AM. Middle School meets this week after the music worship portion of the service (2nd & 4th Sundays). High School Students meet every Sunday after the service.

Congregational Meeting

Hopites, come on Wednesday, March 20th for Hope’s Spring Congregational Meeting from 6:00-7:30PM. We’ll get information from our senior pastor, Matt Ryniker. a financial report from the Board, and discussion of future plans for our congregation, and updates.

If you do not usually attend Family Night but would like to bring your children to the Wednesday Night Kids’ Program that evening, please email Joelene Michel to register your kids. We are expecting our regular Wednesday evening attenders already so no need to register current attenders.

Good Friday

Our Good Friday service includes music along with seven Hopites’ meditations and reflections on the seven sayings of Jesus at His crucifixion. It is always a very beautiful and poignant time. Come on Friday, March 29th from 6:30-8:30 PM to hear, worship, and remember Our Lord’s sacrifice.

Please feel free to bring your friends, family, co-workers and/or neighbors.

We recommend the service for children ages 6th grade and up but leave this to the parent’s discretion. Testimonies given may contain more mature content. A meaningful HopeKids program is provided: RSVPs for Kindergarten and under are still open; 1st-5th is now closed. Sign up by clicking here. Contact Joelene Michel with questions.

The Christian celebration of Jesus’ Resurrection.

From the New Testament, the Gospel (Good News) of John, Chapter 20:

“Now Mary stood outside the tomb crying. As she wept, she bent over to look into the tomb and saw two angels in white, seated where Jesus’ body had been, one at the head and the other at the foot.

They asked her, ‘Woman, why are you crying?’

‘They have taken my Lord away,’ she said, ‘and I don’t know where they have put him.’ 

At this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there…Jesus said, ‘…Go…to my brothers and tell them, I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.’

Mary Magdalene went to the disciples with the news: “I have seen the Lord!” And she told them that he had said these things to her.”
