Attend Service. Sundays, 9:30 am Hope celebrates God's love for each person and all of creation. Nursery care is provided if parents wish--but children are more than welcome for the entire service. The atmosphere is truly "come-as-you-are:" shirt and tie or shorts and sandals, whatever is comfortable for you. Each Sunday morning is a chance to experience acceptance, community and Christ.
Become Involved. Hope is an active church. Hands Mission: we participate in Habitat for Humanity, clean up after Hurricane Katrina, CROP Walk, MS Tram, Cancer Walk, Humane Society and more. Plus, if you have a favorite mission, chances are you'll get support from the Hope family.
We've a prayer group, a readers group, a Thursday night golf group, children Sunday School, monthly movie nights at Hope Church with potluck.
If you enjoy traditional church dinners: we've the Annual Corn Feed, the Annual Seminary Scholarship Salad Luncheon, the Turkey Dinner, the yearly apple-pie-bake. Plus, we're planning a non-traditional drive-in-diner event in 2007. Extra hands are always welcomed and needed.
Perhaps you wish to plug in your talents musically. Choir meets during the school year 8:30 am Sundays. Plus, we seek out a wide variety of special music all summer long. And, you're invited to bring your acoustic or electric instrument and plug-in Sunday mornings. We'd love for you to share your God-given talent.
Or, maybe you have an idea, something you'd like to see happening in a church but haven't yet. Let's talk. Perhaps with God's grace and a human commitment we can make something new and good happen.
Bring a Friend. Did you know most church people attend a church for the first time because they've been invited. (Not by the pastor. The church sign ranks higher on people's reasons for attending a church than being invited by the pastor). No, someone who loves their church inviting another person to church is the most effective way of growing a church. It's also the best gift you can give a friend--a community of care, especially if that community is gracious like Hope is. So, invite a friend. Offer to give your friend a ride. Hope will make sure your friend receives a warm welcome.
