  3. HopeKids Classes — What to Expect During the Summer

    Dear Parents,

    The HopeKids ministry is happy to be able to provide classes for kids of all ages on Sunday mornings! Here’s what to expect on Sundays from Memorial Day through Labor Day.

    When you arrive, a greeter will escort you to the coffee shop. There you will find the HopeKids kiosk and check in station. One of our friendly volunteers will be glad to get your kids registered and checked in for the morning. After this, you and your children will return to the sanctuary and worship together.

    At the end of the singing, the children are released to their classes. Feel free to accompany your children to class and then participate in the service. Pick your kids up from their classroom when the service ends.

    We look forward to meeting you and your kids this Sunday at Hope Chapel!

  4. MOPS@Hope is now the MomCo

    The MomCo (short for Mom Community)

    We’re convinced that moms are some of the most powerful creatures on the planet. What is the word people use to define powerful things? It is ‘the mother’… the mother of all storms, the mother of all traffic, the mother lode. To be a mother is to be a force of nature, but that doesn’t mean it should be done alone. We saved you a seat.

    Join us starting on September 9, 2024 for the beginning of a new era of Mom Community.

    Registration opens in mid-July.

  5. Conversation with Rabbi Dan Wednesday, July 10th

    Hope Chapel has a unique opportunity to develop friendship with a local Jewish synagogue. Rabbi Daniel Millner is rabbi of Congregation Tiferet Israel. On Wednesday, July 10th, 6-7:30 p.m. Rabbi Dan will join us to preach from Genesis on the topic of God’s favor on Abraham. Pastor Matt has been invited to go to his synagogue at a later date to do something similar. We look forward to a growing relationship with our Jewish neighbors.

    Many American Jews have recently experienced a growing anxiety related to feeling alone, isolated and friendless due to current events and negative attitudes related to Israel and Jewishness in general. Many have reported losing friendships due to a sudden spike of political animosity. Hope Chapel has the opportunity to bring glory to God and support to neighbors by meeting this felt need relationally.

    We regret that the deadline to reserve childcare has now passed.

  6. FAM Lemonade Stand

    Your favorite Summer Lemonade Stand is back this year! During Hope’s first Summer Fun Night on June 26 from 5-7pm on Hope’s front sidewalk.

     

    Like every year, our stand raises awareness about Hope Chapel’s Foster & Adopt Ministry to the Brentwood Neighborhood and benefits Foster Village –  – a local nonprofit that provides support groups & tangible items for foster families in Austin. 

     

    See you there! 

    Are you a Hopite (young or old!) interested in helping make the stand happen? Reach out to Rebekah Voelker to volunteer – rebekahjvoelker@gmail.com
