Men of Hope: Summer Gatherings
Gustavo EspinosaJune 15th, 2026Men of Hope
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.

Upcoming court dates: Wednesday, June 24, Thursday, July 30, and Thursday, August 27. Questions? Reach out to Bill McCharen (billmccharen@yahoo.com).

Men’s Meeting: Basic Car Care

Roll up your sleeves and learn the fundamentals of car service at the Tompkins’ home on Saturday, June 27, from 9:00 AM–12:00 PM. 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.
HopeKids Classes — What to Expect During the Summer
Hala TompkinsJune 7th, 2026Children'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 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!
Women’s Summer Books & Breakfast Tuesday, Beginning June 9th,
Joelene MichelJune 3rd, 2026Women of Hope
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)
