  5. HopeKids Classes at 10am Service — What to Expect on Sunday Morning

    Dear Parents,

    The HopeKids ministry is happy to be able to provide in-person classes for kids of all ages on Sunday mornings! Here’s what to expect this Sunday.

    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.

    Feel free to accompany your children to class and then participate in the service. Pick your kids up from their classroom when the service ends.

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

  6. “Pilgrimage of Light” Artist Reception

    Join us Saturday, February 4th in the Hope Chapel Sanctuary Gallery for an artist’s reception of Pilgrimage of Light, a photography exhibit by Wendy Dooldeniya. There will be a catered reception and artist talk starting at 6:30pm, followed by an interactive Q & A. We will also have musical accompaniment by guitarist Nathan Howard.

    Wendy describes her work in this way: “These images are moments of my soul hearing the voices of water, wind, light, and shadow. They are the moments that give me pause and peace in the wanderings of daily life.”
