Children’s Baptism Classes Coming in May
Hala TompkinsMarch 25th, 2024Children's Ministry
Dear Parents,

Two baptism classes (taught by Pastor Matt) are scheduled for Saturday, May 11 (9:30-11:30am) and Wednesday, May 29 (6 – 7:30pm). If your child has expressed interest in being baptized this year, please plan on attending these classes. Parents are strongly encouraged to attend with their children. Childcare will be provided by contacting Hala.

The baptism service will be on June 9, 2024. This service will be followed by an outdoor water fun day on our playground, as is our custom.

We’ve designed the baptism classes to help parents decide whether or not their children are ready for baptism. If you are unsure about whether or not this is the right year, class number one will help you decide.

Adults who would like to be baptized should simply contact Pastor Matt. He will be happy to talk with you!

Let Hala know if you have any kid-related questions!

Safe Families Host Home Information Dinner
Cathy TučekFebruary 20th, 2024Community Updates
Join Mandy Ryniker, Foster Adopt Director, on February 28th from 6pm – 7:30pm at Hope (during Family Night) for dinner and great conversation! We’ll explore the topic of becoming a Safe Families Host Home – these singles, roommates or families open their homes to host a child/children for short, predetermined lengths of time (on average 4-6 weeks).

This short hosting allows caregivers time and space to secure resources for themselves to prevent their children entering fostercare. The goal of host homes is to strengthen vulnerable families in our community and offer the hope of Christ through hospitality and friendship.

Come learn more and meet our guests the Oberski family, who have been a Safe Families host home since 2016!

Dinner and childcare provided. Please RSVP to Mandy Ryniker by February 18th.

Jen Wilkin’s Sermon on the Mount

Please join the Women of Hope on Thursdays, February 1st-April 4th in the Upstairs Den this Spring as we study the Sermon on the Mount, a Bible study by Jen Wilkin! Here is a description of the study:

In His sweeping depiction of kingdom citizenship, Jesus utters some of the most familiar passages in all of Scripture. Most of us have only encountered the Sermon on the Mount in fragments, considering its subdivisions as complete teachings in their own right—a study on blessedness; a reflection on the Lord’s Prayer; a discussion of religious devotion, money, ambition, and relationships.

What if we navigated these three chapters in Matthew as they were originally heard? What if we read them as one cohesive, well-ordered message, intended to challenge us to think differently about what it means to be a follower of Jesus?

This 9-session study gives you the opportunity to do just that. Come and learn from Jesus, just as His disciples did. First released in 2014, this study is now updated with new teaching videos from Jen Wilkin.

WHERE TO FIND THE BOOK

Make sure you buy the NEW revised and expanded version Amazon Sermon on the Mount – Bible Study Book (Revised & Expanded) with Video Access.

or at Lifeway Sermon on the Mount – Bible Study Book (Revised & Expanded) with Video Access | Lifeway

CHILDCARE

Childcare available until full.
