Hope community happenings.
Dearly Beloved,
Several folks have asked me how we as a congregation will follow-up our weekend conference with Sally Gary. While we are in the incipient stages of answering that question at this point, I thought it would be good to make a few suggestions and solicit your ideas.
I have posted several ideas on my blog here. Please take a look and offer your suggestions for moving forward.
Thanks,
–geno
Since Hope Chapel is in renovation mode, we are changing choir practice time on November 19 to begin at 9am and to end by 10:30 so that, after practice, choir members who are able to can join in on the workday, which should already be in progress. These are exciting times!
Singers, please mark your calendars and join us, one and all!! Choir always proves to be fun and fruitful endeavor.
Contact Deb Dorman (deb@thedormans.com) or text Jennifer Boltz at 512-659-1472
Help welcome the Sherwins home! Michael and Allison Sherwin will be visiting their home church next week, Hope Chapel, and we would love to welcome them with good food and great company. They are serving with All Nations Cape Town, which takes Michael around Africa and Asia training and equipping leaders, while Allison leads local church planting efforts in Southern Africa.
Please come to a lunch following Hope’s morning service on November 20 to hear encouraging stories about what God is doing around the world. Lunch and discussion will be held in a home near Hope, so please RSVP (if possible).

Our extraordinary and deeply loved Sandy Winn passed away today. She had suffered a stroke on Tuesday afternoon and a brain hemorrhage later that evening. A note today from her son, Brian, Thursday, October 27th, “At 11:25 a.m., Mom went to be with the Lord! Dad, Scott, Roger and I released her and Our Heavenly Father has welcomed her into His arms. She went quickly and peacefully. We thank all for the abundance of love and support from so so many of her friends.”
We will post funeral details as we get them here for our Hope family and the myriad of others that she has loved from church families in Austin and around the globe. Please check hope.org for information on the time and date of the services, the care calendar, and other relevant details. We will also post this information on Facebook.
Please continue to pray for the grace, comfort, and stamina needed for the family as they make decisions and prepare for the service. Our Good, Good Father, the Holy Spirit, and our brother, Jesus are with them all.
May the Lord comfort each of you who are experiencing the profound loss of our dear Mama Sandy.
October is the kick-off month for our in-home Firesides! We have locations all around Austin throughout the month so I encourage you to find at least one to attend. You are welcome to attend as many as you’d like!
Each one-hour Fireside has a local topic and an overseas topic, with specific Scriptures for each. It will be a great time of encountering God’s heart for His people around the world, through His word. I anticipate some encouraging words from the Lord, and some deeper connections with each other and those for whom we pray.
