We are delighted to host guest speaker Sally Gary, founder of CenterPeace ministry. Since 2006, CenterPeace has been helping churches and families all over the world learn a more Christ-like response to individuals experiencing same-sex attraction.

Plan now to attend the Sally Gary Conference Friday-Sunday, November 11-13. Sally will speak to pastors and church leaders on Friday, November 11 at Westover Hills Church of Christ from 7:00- 8:30 p.m. On Saturday, November 12 she will speak at Hope Chapel from 9:00 a.m. until noon and again from 1:00- 2:30 p.m. There is no cost for attending the conference, but a love offering will be received.

Sally will also speak Sunday, November 13 at the 10:00 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. services at Hope Chapel.

Our hope is that the church will receive a vision for abolishing the culture of silence and shame that too often attends any discussion of same-sex attraction. Instead, let’s develop a healthy culture that encourages and supports our friends and family members who wrestle with these very personal and confusing feelings while at the same time seeking to follow Christ faithfully.

Come worship and pray with the body of Hope Chapel in the Hope sanctuary! Using the Fireside model of worship and prayer, we will move from worship to prayer (and back). The evening will include small group and corporate prayer for specific requests for Hope Chapel, locally and abroad.
