    RSVP to Hala or just show up. All are welcome.

  2. The MomCo@Hope Registration Now Open

    Dear Mamas,

    This year the MomCo is bringing back ’90s friendship and community. You may not even remember a time when you couldn’t make a phone call when you weren’t at home or when a friend showed up at your house without texting first. Back in the ’90s, that was normal life.

    This year at the MomCo, we’re going to practice showing up, making real connections with real people, being a good friend, and loving others even when it isn’t convenient to do so.

    If you are looking for real community, join us! We’re Good Company and we’re saving a seat for you.

    with love,

    The MomCo@Hope

    The Fall Registration link is now open.

  3. Men of Hope: Summer Gatherings

    Men of Hope is gathering this summer—come sharpen iron with iron through prayer, fellowship, and a few hands-on skills. Here’s what’s on the calendar:

    Pickleball & Prayer

    Come play, then come pray. We’re meeting at Pickleball Ranch (Austin Pickle Ranch, 11000 Middle Fiskville Rd, Building B, Austin, TX 78753) on two reserved outdoor courts from 7:00–9:00 PM. Young men ages 16–18 are welcome when accompanied by an adult male they know.

Guys ages 13 and up are welcome (ages 13–17 should bring an accompanying man). It’s practical car know-how with a small-group twist. For details, contact Glenn Tompkins (gtompkins999@gmail.com).

    Whether you’re swinging a paddle or popping a hood, there’s a place for you. We hope to see you there.

  4. HopeKids Classes — What to Expect During the Summer

    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 from Memorial Day through Labor Day.

    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. After this, you and your children will return to the sanctuary and worship together.

    At the end of the singing, the children are released to their classes. 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!

  5. Women’s Summer Books & Breakfast Tuesday, Beginning June 9th,

    Who am I? The question of identity is always in the back of our minds, and it’s currently at the forefront of social conversations.

    But the first question we need to ask is: Who is God? Then we can begin to consider, And who am I in light of who He is? In his letter to the Ephesians, Paul describes God as a merciful and forgiving Father who unites us in Christ and empowers us to live by the Spirit. We’re adopted children and fellow citizens with the saints because of God’s loving pursuit on our behalf.

    Come join the Women of Hope for Tuesday breakfast & studying the book of Ephesians. In this 7-session study, Bible teachers, authors, and friends Jackie Hill Perry, Jasmine Holmes, and Melissa Kruger walk through the book of Ephesians, examining the invaluable truths Paul’s letter holds for us today. Along the way, they’ll help us understand the riches of our inheritance as daughters of our heavenly Father, as well as what it means to walk in a manner worthy of our calling.

    Dates: Tuesdays, June 9th – July 21st, 9:30 AM – 11:30 AM, upstairs Den at Hope Chapel (6701 Arroyo Seco 78757)
