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.

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.
