“Welcome Home” A Future and A Hope Conference – Registration Open Now!
Mandy RynikerNovember 3rd, 2022Community Updates
Fostering Hope’s annual adoption and foster care conference, A Future + A Hope is coming up on March 4, 2023.

This year’s theme is “Welcome Home.”

Hope Chapel partners with Fostering Hope as we seek to provide holistic support for our own foster/adoptive families and those in our community.

From Fostering Hope:

Whether we have adoptive children, foster children, relatives, or we are reunifying with our children after difficult circumstances, our homes should be welcoming. And yet for so many of us, it almost seems laughable to imagine a restful home.

Let’s work together to create a community that welcomes children home – even if “home” is temporary! Find more information and register at iamfosteringhope.org.

Men’s Retreat October 14-16
Joe FriedmanSeptember 27th, 2022Community Updates
Men of Hope Retreat • October 14-16th at Twin Lakes YMCA

Body Building – Being and Building the Body of Christ

Come focus this year on Body Building – Being and Building the Body of Christ with your brothers from Hope on retreat not far from home at the Twin Lakes YMCA Cedar Creek Camp. In I Corinthians 12:

“For just as the body is one and has many members…If the foot should say, ‘Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to the body,’…The eye cannot say to the hand, ‘I have no need of you…’

…But God has so composed the body…that the members may have the same care for one another. If one member suffers, all suffer together; if one member is honored, all rejoice together.”

KICK-BACK, RELAX TIME
Unstructured time abounds: fellowship, sitting around the campfire, prayer, conversation, and time away to enjoy with brothers in Christ.

And maybe mark some of them with a paintball.

Camp runs from Friday 5PM to Sunday 11:30ish.
Full: 5 meals and overnight stay – $120/per person
No Lodging: Day Camp with meals – $70/per person
