Making an Impact

We Need Your Help

Do you sponsor a child through an organization like Compassion or World Vision?  We are creating a display of the children that Hopers sponsor and would love copies of your photos, letters or drawings by your child.  Please email any digital copies to Ryan Evans at t.ryanevans@gmail.com by May 27 or bring a hard copy by the Hope office. 
HSM Important Dates

Mark your calendars - Middle and High School ministry will not meet on Memorial Day weekend Sunday.  The following Sunday, June 3, will be the last regularly scheduled "youth group" time for the school year.   

Both High School and Middle School will meet at the same time on June 3, for an end of the year dinner and teaching on the patio beginning at 6:00.   We will be finished that evening by 8:00.

 

Students*Registration is now open for Middle School and High School summer camps.  These summer camps have been life-changing for many of our students and have deepened their relationships with each other.  Please go to our website for information about The Great Escape or Fun in the Son.
