Light Up the Church: Remembering Kristallnacht

On November 9, 1938, hordes of German paramilitary and citizens attacked Jewish citizens, their homes, schools, businesses, cemeteries and synagogues in what became known as Kristallnacht — the Night of Broken Glass. 

Over the last decade synagogues around the world have begun to leave their lights on all night on Nov. 9th.  This year churches worldwide are joining them to “let their lights shine in the darkness” Wednesday, Nov. 9th in solidarity with the Jewish people, to stand against anti-semitism. At Hope Chapel, we will place about 50 “LED candles” in each of our windows visible from the streets, and yard signs out front indicating the purpose.  For more information,  visit LightUpTheChurch.org

Brentwood Staff and Teachers Thanksgiving Lunch

The Tradition Lives On!

This year, live and in person, with new buildings for both and the pandemic over – we all return to the Family Room where Hope will host the luncheon once again.

Every year Hope Chapel and Waymakers prepares a Thanksgiving Feast for the Brentwood Elementary teachers and staff. They plan their schedules so they can break away, slip across the street and dig in! This year’s feast is in the Family Room: Tuesday, November 15th, 10:30 AM – 12:30 PM

How You Can Participate:

 • Provide a side dish.

• Come meet and greet our guests from across the street.

 • Visit with the teachers and staff at table.

• Come set up, help, or clean from 8:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Lots of prep: table and chair set up, decorating, and food prep to be ready by 10:30 a.m. or help refill dishes, heat food, and work in the kitchen or stay to clean up.

Sign up on Realm to help. Let’s show them another great big “Thanks” for we do give thanks to the God and Father of us all for their work in the lives of the Elementary kids at Brentwood.
