  1. MOPS at Hope Starts Sept 9

    Hala TompkinsJuly 15th, 2019Community Updates

    Join us for MOPS at Hope. The mother of all mom meetups isn’t complete without you.

    When: 2nd and 4th Mondays of most months, starting September 9

    Where: Hope Chapel, 6701 Arroyo Seco Austin 78757

    Sign up for the fall semester here or by contacting Hala Tompkins.

    MOPS is a ministry to Mothers of Preschoolers in Austin. At MOPS, we create a space for you to get to know other moms and participate in a small group of women that truly cares for each other. There’s also a learning time and food, all while your little ones are in the MOPS Kids program (4 months through pre-k age).  Teaching, by both experienced moms and professionals, covers topics such as but not limited to womanhood, marriage and family.

    Registration for MOPS is required and spots in childcare are limited. The $60 semester fee helps to cover costs of childcare and supplies.

    Contact Hala with questions.

  2. What to Expect on Sunday–Parents

    Thanks for your interest in Hope Chapel. We hope you decide to join us this Sunday.

    Arrive at Hope around 9:45 and look for someone wearing a blue HopeKids t-shirt. They’ll show you where the check in kiosks are located and help you get your kids checked in.

    Classes for kids in Kindergarten and younger are on the ground floor. The rooms are marked to make it simple to find the one you need. Elementary classes are held upstairs and are also labeled.

    During the summer, Sunday classes for fours and younger begin at 9:55. Kindergarten and older classes begin after families worship together.

    As always, there will be friendly people in blue HopeKids t-shirts to help you in any way needed.

    Hope Chapel of AustinApril 25th, 2019Community Updates

    Let’s Join in Celebration

    Matthew Ryniker Ordination and Cake Reception on Sunday, April 28th, 10AM

    Matt is changing positions at Hope Chapel and becomes our Associate Pastor this Sunday, April 28th in the 10AM serviceafter he’s ordained.

    Though the youth will miss him in his role as youth pastor, he’ll pick up other responsibilities that bring his many skills and gifts to bear for the entire congregation; he’s already been doing that as Outreach pastor. Mandy Ryniker finishes her nursing training in the next week and graduates also. They are together ready to walk in this new role.

    Our Hopekids’ classes begin at 10AM. They’ll come back in at the end of the service so they don’t miss Matt’s ordination. Older kids can either sit on the floor up front or go be seated with their parents.

    Come celebrate the gift that Matt is to Hope! A cake reception follows.
