Are You Part of a
Small Group?
|  Meaningful relationships are such an important part of life. We encourage everyone to part of a small group where they are learning and growing together. GroupLink is our quarterly small group formation event that will be held on April 15 at 6:15pm. On that night we will form new groups for men, women, married couples and young adults. The new groups meet for fellowship and a six-week study of the new sermon series on the Holy Spirit. Register or get more info on our website.

"And he took a cup of wine and gave thanks to God for it. He gave it to them and said, "Each of you drink from it, for this is my blood, which confirms the covenant between God and his people. It is poured out as a sacrifice to forgive the sins of many." Matthew 26:27-28 (NLT)

On April 8, we will begin with an sunrise/communion service at 7am out front. We will continue with additional services at 8:30am, 10am, and 11:30am. Plan to arrive early so that you can use the parking shuttle at the PFG Lot in West Creek. We will have extra worship space for Easter Sunday and encourage everyone to invite friends and neighbors to worship with you at HOPE on this day of celebration.
