  2. Fall Books & Breakfast

    Perhaps no other book of the Bible feels as inaccessible and as intimidating to us as the very last one. Two thousand years ago, John’s Revelation was circulated and read aloud among seven churches in Asia Minor. Those who heard the letter understood it and drew encouragement from its message. The same can be true for us today. Over 10 sessions of verse-by-verse Bible study, Jen Wilkin helps us discover how the last book of the Bible—the culmination of God’s great story—speaks both a steadying word of assurance and a strong call to endure to the church in every age.

    Dates: Thursdays, September 12th to November 14th

    Time: 9:30-11:30am

    Location: Upstairs Den, Hope Chapel

    Childcare available until full

  3. 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!

  4. Visit with Carlos and Lorena

  5. FAM Lemonade Stand

    Your favorite Summer Lemonade Stand is back this year! During Hope’s first Summer Fun Night on June 26 from 5-7pm on Hope’s front sidewalk.

     

    Like every year, our stand raises awareness about Hope Chapel’s Foster & Adopt Ministry to the Brentwood Neighborhood and benefits Foster Village –  – a local nonprofit that provides support groups & tangible items for foster families in Austin. 

     

    See you there!

  6. Children’s Baptism Classes Coming in May

    Dear Parents,

    Two baptism classes (taught by Pastor Matt)  are scheduled for Saturday, May 11 (9:30-11:30am) and Wednesday, May 29 (6 – 7:30pm). If your child has expressed interest in being baptized this year, please plan on attending these classes. Parents are strongly encouraged to attend with their children. Childcare will be provided by contacting Hala.

    The baptism service will be on June 9, 2024. This service will be followed by an outdoor water fun day on our playground, as is our custom.

    We’ve designed the baptism classes to help parents decide whether or not their children are ready for baptism. If you are unsure about whether or not this is the right year, class number one will help you decide.

    Adults who would like to be baptized should simply contact Pastor Matt. He will be happy to talk with you!

    Let Hala know if you have any kid-related questions!
