Community Updates

Hope community happenings.

  1. Overseas Friends’ Reception This Sunday

    Our friends are in town from overseas and this Sunday, August 24th, we’ll have a reception for them after each service in the Family Room. Visit and catch up with what’s been happening in their lives on the overseas mission field.

  2. The world comes to us at the University of Texas…Hope’s World Welcome Wants You!

    Students are ready and waiting for friendship partners and/or English teachers. World Welcome, Hope’s ministry to internationals in our community and at UT, invites you to become friends with an international student.

    Become a Friendship Partner…
    …and spend time with a student once a month. Do fun things; invite them into your home or have them join you for family activities; share your story.

    Facilitate an English Conversation Group…
    …and meet with 2 or 3 students for 1-2 hours once a week (September 1st – December 1st) to help them improve their conversational English skills. Days and times of classes depend on students and teachers. Materials for these classes are provided.

    World Welcome provides all kinds of assistance to equip you in every way. All you need to do is commit to spend some time with a student for three months (Sept. 1st – Dec. 1st). Do you have a willing heart, are moderately patient, and excited about showing Jesus’ love to someone far from home? Email us here or sign up on our home page or just talk to Maria Duran, Director of Outreach to International Students.

  3. Weekend Saturday Night Outreach

    If you want to grow with us in witnessing, giving prophetic encouragement or praying with people in public, feel free to visit and join a team.  We meet Saturdays in the Lighthouse 8:30 – 10:30 p.m. 
     
    Contact Matt Ryniker if you plan to join in. Let’s explore and practice what it means for Christians to hear from God in order to build others up.

  4. Overseas Friends’ Reception

    Our friends are in town from overseas and we get to fête them with a reception on Thursday, July 31st from 5:30-7:30 p.m in the Family Room. Come straight from work for appetizers or bring the family after an early dinner for some dessert. Visit and catch up with what’s been happening in their lives before they head home.
