  2. Fall Books & Breakfast

    Lisette EspinosaJuly 31st, 2024Women of Hope

    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

    Sign up here today!

  5. Women of Hope Spring Books & Breakfast Thursdays

    Joelene MichelFebruary 1st, 2024Community Updates

    Join the Women of Hope for Thursday breakfast and Esther, a study by Kelly Minter:

    A beautiful queen, her courageous cousin, a foreign land, and a murderous adversary—the book of Esther has all the elements of an epic drama. Join us for this 7-session study, where we will look at the daring faith modeled by Esther and her cousin Mordecai—a faith developed over time, rooted in the goodness of God, lived out through extraordinary circumstances, and used to change the world. Although our time looks different from Esther’s, our God is just as active and faithful today, and He has called you for such a time as this.

    Dates: Thursdays, February 6th – March 27th (Not meeting March 20th for Spring Break)
    Time: 9:30-11:30am
    Location: Upstairs Den, Hope Chapel

    Childcare for 5th grade and under available until full

    Sign up here today!

  6. Host Home Information Dinner

    Mandy RynikerJanuary 30th, 2024Foster care & Adoption Ministry

    Join Mandy on Feb 28th from 6pm – 7:30pm at Hope (during Family Night) for dinner and great conversation! We will plan to explore the topic of becoming a Safe Families Host Home – these singles, roommates or families open their homes to host a child/children for short, predetermined lengths of time (on average 4-6 weeks). 

    This short hosting allows caregivers time and space to secure resources for themselves to prevent their children entering fostercare. The goal of host homes is to strengthen vulnerable families in our community and offer the hope of Christ through hospitality and friendship. 

    Come learn more and meet our guests the Oberski family, who have been a Safe Families host home since 2016! 

    Dinner and childcare provided. Please RSVP to Mandy

    aryniker@gmail.com by Feb 18th.
