  1. FAM Lemonade Stand!

    Mandy RynikerMay 27th, 2025Foster care & Adoption Ministry

    Our annual lemonade stand is back! We’ll be set up during the first Summer Fun Night

    June 11 – Stand opens at 5pm

    Proceeds benefit our local non profit friend, Foster Village.

    Foster Village provides practical resources and support to foster and reunified families in Austin.

    We hope to see you there!

    If you are interested in manning the stand with FAM please reach out to Mandy! 

    It’s a really fun activity for a family to do together or for adults without kiddos to sit back and hang out. Anyone is welcome! Additionally, if you’d like to provide resources for us – donating lemonade/snacks/etc – we’d love that kind of help too!

    Come spend time with us and hang out with the FAM!

  6. HopeKids Classes — What to Expect During the School Year

    Hala TompkinsSeptember 24th, 2024Children's Ministry

    Dear Parents,

    The HopeKids ministry is happy to be able to provide classes for kids of all ages on Sunday mornings! Here’s what to expect on Sundays during the school year.

    When you arrive, a greeter will escort you to the coffee shop. There you will find the HopeKids kiosk and check in station. One of our friendly volunteers will be glad to get your kids registered and checked in for the morning. Once you are checked in, you and your children will be escorted to their appropriate classes.

    You can pick up your children from those same classrooms when the service ends.

    We look forward to meeting you and your kids this Sunday at Hope Chapel!
