    It’s been a year! Pull out your amazing talents for Gifts’ Night for Wednesday, May 15th from 6:30-8:00 PM. It doesn’t have to be perfect; it’s a variety show in which you provide the variety.

  2. John Bibee Memorial

     

    JOHN BIBEE’S MEMORIAL SERVICE

    Join us Saturday afternoon, May 18th from 3-4:30 p.m., in the sanctuary to celebrate the life of John Erwin Bibee. A reception with light refreshments follows with a time for friends to share stories about John.

    We look forward to seeing and sharing with all who knew and loved him. Please freely extend this invitation to those who may have missed it. All are welcome!

    Attire: John wasn’t a particularly fancy man so come dressed in something comfortable. Plaid and Hawaiian shirts were two of his staples – if you have one, wear it in his honor!  

    Love,
    The Bibees

  3. Baptism Class

    Hello Parents of Hope!

    Our annual baptism Sunday is scheduled for June 2, 2019. 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 22 and 29. We’ll begin at 6:30 in the second grade classroom and be done by 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 both classes with their child.

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

  4. Adult Baptism Class

    Following Jesus in This
    Have You Ever Been Baptized? Join the Class on Saturday, May 25th


    Do you want to follow Jesus in baptism? He was baptized and that’s a very strong example of what He asked us to do. It is a great step of obedience that does something in the spiritual realm that we don’t yet understand. Jesus’ last command was to go into all the world to make disciples, baptizing them.

    If you’d like to be baptized, join in a class on Saturday, May 25th from 10-11:30AM with Geno Hildebrandt (Classroom 206, Upstairs).

    Contact Geno to RSVP or discuss being baptized.

  5. HopeArts Gallery Opening

    Themed Gallery Opening from 6:30PM until 9:00PM in Hope Chapel Sanctuary. This event opens the new show and offers a catered reception along with live performances and/or talk with artists within the show. No childcare provided. Contact Art Ministry Director with questions.

  6. Baptism Sunday, Festival and Picnic

    Bring Lunch or Eat at the Food Truck, Bring Swimsuits, Sunscreen, a Seat
    Baptism Sunday Festival Celebration June 2nd

    Hope Chapel Baptism Sunday is a celebration followed by a party/festival! Our yard hosts the baptisms and then we picnic in the backyard.

    Bring Your Own Lunch and Drinks or Eat at the Food Truck
    Eat at the Food Truck or bring-your-own-lunch or pick up something at a local restaurant and come back to the backyard waterslide after the baptisms. Please bring something to share with the rest of the body – maybe even guests.

    Bring swimsuits, sun screen, and seats
    A water slide will be in the backyard and we’ll eat outdoors. Bring
    • a seat (something to sit on)
    • your swimsuits, and
    • sunscreen.

    Take It All Home When You Go
    Please stick around and help clean up your stuff and any leftover stuff – there won’t be any washing up.
