Join the Women of Hope for Thursday breakfast and studying Esther, a study by Kelly Minter:
A beautiful queen, her courageous cousin, a foreign land, and a murderous adversary—the book of Esther has all the elements of an epic drama. Join us for this 7-session study, where we will look at the daring faith modeled by Esther and her cousin Mordecai—a faith developed over time, rooted in the goodness of God, lived out through extraordinary circumstances, and used to change the world. Although our time looks different from Esther’s, our God is just as active and faithful today, and He has called you for such a time as this.
Date and Times: Thursdays, February 6th – March 27th (Not meeting March 20th for Spring Break) from 9:30-11:30am
Location: Upstairs Den, Hope Chapel
Childcare Available

Start or Begin a Tradition – Come Let Us Adore Him
Come as you are for our Christmas Eve Candlelight Service at 5:00 PM on Tuesday, the 24th: dressed for photos or bring your kids in pajamas. Bring your family and friends to sing the carols and hear the story once again of when Hope came as a human and lived among us.
Then stand in the darkness as the first candle is lit and see it slowly spread across the room, candle to candle. Until at last, enveloped in the glow, we remember when The Light came into the world and pierced the darkness.
Invite friends and family with the postcards available in the lobby.
If you are unable to attend, please join us for the livestream.
