Photo Gallery -  

Mission Navajo featured this month

There are photographs from Hope's mission trips on the east wall of the Atrium. The display will feature a new mission trip each month, and this month will be Mission Navajo. We will have a team of 16 people in New Mexico from Sept. 16-24. Keep the team in your prayers. 

 

 

Daily Reflection Calendar 
This year focuses on missions so Hope will have a monthly focus on local and worldly issues - poverty, orphans, AIDS awareness, clean water, and more. To go along with the monthly focus, there will be a daily reflection calendar here with suggestions for how you can lift up what God is doing in the world and in Des Moines. Check out the new September calendar!
