Thomas Cogdell with Amy Cogdell Book Launch Party for Unity Through Repentance: The Road to Wittenberg 2017 on Friday, July 8th at 7:00PM in the main auditorium

“Unity through Repentance is the story of God interrupting the lives and plans of an ordinary couple to invite them into the adventure of a lifetime—gathering all the major streams of Jesus-followers in Wittenberg on the 500th anniversary of the Reformation.”

FIRST CHAPTER TITLE: “HOPE CHAPEL”
KID-FRIENDLY, EXCERPTS, SPECIAL GUESTS
Come for a short *kid-friendly* program including some reading excerpts, comments by Hopites old and new, and some special Zoom visitors to be named later.

BOOKS FOR SALE AND AUTOGRAPH TABLE
Thomas says, “But most importantly, we will have ‘books for sale and an ‘autograph table’ where you will be able to choose between my fast but illegible scrawl and Amy’s neat and readable handwriting. The suggested price for the books will be $10 which will be our cost to get them there to you. So … if you want a printed copy and can wait that long, you might want to do so.”

Children’s Baptism Classes
June 15th, 2022 ›
If your child/ren have expressed a desire to be baptized this year, here’s the latest info for you:

The baptism classes (taught by Pastor Matt) are now scheduled for Saturdays, June 30 and August 6, from 9:30-11. Parents are strongly encouraged to attend these classes with their children. Childcare is provided by contacting Hala.

The baptism service will be on August 14. This service will be followed by an outdoor water fun day on our playground, as is our custom.

Remember that we’ve designed the baptism classes to help parents decide whether or not their children are ready for baptism. If you are unsure about whether or not this is the right year, class number one will help you decide.

Adults who would like to be baptized should simply contact Pastor Matt. He will be happy to talk with you!

Let Hala know if you have any kid-related questions!
Baptism Sunday
March 22nd, 2022 ›
Baptisms on August 14th with our Outdoor Water Fun Day on the Playground Following

The Baptism Service is on Sunday Morning, August 14th. Hala says, “following is an outdoor water fun day on our playground, as is our custom.” Plan to bring a lunch and hang out.

Following Jesus in Baptism

Jesus was baptized and that’s a very strong example of what He asked us to do. Jesus’ last command was to go into all the world to make disciples, baptizing them.

This important step of obedience is described by the Apostle Paul in Romans 6, “We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life. If we have been united with him like this in his death, we will certainly also be united with him in his resurrection.
