Every year a different city graces the cover of the Seek God for the City prayer guides and this year Austin is that city. So this year we join as many people as we can fit in the building for a citywide prayer service on Thursday, February 26th at 7:00 p.m.

Hope Chapel was selected because a number of Austin pastors wanted to, in addition to praying for the city, bless Hope Chapel for how God has used her in bringing churches together, and honor specifically, Dan and Joann Davis, for his ongoing passion of uniting pastors and congregations in joint prayer and ministry for Austin.
