  1. The MomCo Egg Hunt and Easter Celebration

    Mothers of young children are invited to join the MomCo@Hope on Friday, April 3, for an egg hunt, games, and the true story of our Risen Jesus! Join us in the Family Room at 10am. Bring a treat to share and one dozen filled eggs for each of your children. NO chocolate please!

  2. Good Friday Service • April 3rd • 6:30 PM


    April 3rd’s Good Friday Service at 6:30 PM includes seven friends from our community reflecting personally over the seven last phrases that Jesus spoke from the cross and is interspersed with worship and silence. It is always a very beautiful and poignant time together. You’re encouraged to invite friends, family, and coworkers.

    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.

  4. Parent/Child Class & Dedications coming in April

    Dear Parents of Hope,

    Our next Parent/Child Dedication class is Wednesday, April 8 – we’ll cover the “why” of child dedications and principles for creating a Christian home. If you want to dedicate a child this spring or simply be encouraged in your parenting journey, please join Pastor Matt Ryniker and Children’s Ministry Director, Hala Tompkins for an evening of encouragement and equipping as you prepare to dedicate the newest member of your family to the Lord Jesus.

    Class starts at 6pm and we’ll be done by 7:30.

    The Dedication Service is scheduled for Sunday, April 19.

    Sign up for the class and childcare by emailing hala.

     

  5. Children’s Baptism Classes Coming in May

    Hello Parents of Hope!

    If your child has been asking about being baptized this year, please plan on attending two classes with Matt Ryniker and Hala Tompkins. Class One is on Saturday, May 9 at 9am, and Class Two is on Wednesday, May 20 at 6pm. Both classes will last for 1.5 hours. The baptism service is scheduled for Sunday, June 7.

    Our baptism classes are designed for children aged eight and older and are meant 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 child both weeks.

    Let Hala know if you have any kid-related questions. Adults who would like to be baptized should simply contact Pastor Matt. He will be happy to talk with you!

    Childcare is provided by reservation, Sign up for the classes and childcare by emailing halatompkins@hopemail.org.
