Updates from HopeArts.

  1. Gallery Opening Jan. 16

    “Incarnation,” a new show by Loie Archer, opens on Thursday, January 16th, 7:00 P.M. in the Hope Chapel Sanctuary Gallery. This show is a catered gallery show, offering a musical  performance component and an interactive artist Q & A. Archer’s work invites the audience to contemplation and explores different stages of life. Through viewing the pieces of the show as a whole, in the context of the music, the audience encounters the mystery of creativity .

    Our lovely friends are visiting the states and have much to share about their service abroad! Please join us in the family room on Jan 19 after the service for lunch and conversation. We will have a time of sharing, Q&A, and plenty of hugs to go around! RSVP on the Realm.

    Andrew and Katie Martin are on a short visit back and will be sharing about their time serving in Cambodia. Please join us in the family room for a traditional Cambodian meal this Sunday, Jan 12. RSVP on the Realm.

  4. Global Christmas is Here!

    It’s the season to bless our workers, both here and abroad, by remembering them and sending gifts.

    Write a note! 

    There will be stationary supplied in the coffee area for you to write a greeting or a blessing to a worker. HGT will collect these and mail them off.

    Give a gift!

    Out of the side doors of the sanctuary, under the stairs, there are ornaments you can pull off the wall and place in the envelope provided (be sure to lift them up in a quick prayer while you do this!). HGT will collect these and record the amounts after each service. Please be sure to mark the amount and your name on the envelope.

    Thank you so much for thinking, praying, and giving towards our workers! We pray this season will be a blessing to you and your family, as well!
