This Weekend:
There's an App for That:
Bringing Faith to Daily Life
Dealing with Difficult People
 Pastor's Preview:
Happy Friday Hope!

It has been such an awesome week of Vacation Bible School. More than 1,000 kids and 300 adults packed the halls of Hope for a week of focusing on "One Goal. One God!"

One of my favorite parts of the week was being in the middle of the Worship Center floor with all the kids dancing while singing "The Mount Carmel Showdown" (to the tune of Macklemore's "Can't Hold Us") about Elijah and the prophets of Baal from 1 Kings 18.
 
Time for a showdown
This is the line-up
Phony god Baal and the God of Elijah
So we put our prayers up
And we'll see which God shows up
Will the living God show us?
 
You can literally feel the floor shaking! It's awesome!
 
This weekend is the culmination of our week-long revival. The kids will do some singing and dancing and floor shaking at all worship services (Saturday at 5:00 pm and Sunday at 9:15 & 11:00 am).
Saturday is also our church-wide celebration called Taste of Hope.

If you've never been, I'd encourage you to come to the West Des Moines campus and check it out. It's the perfect opportunity to introduce a friend, neighbor or co-worker who doesn't have a church home to the mission and ministry of Hope!
 
This weekend we also continue our message series There's an App for That! I'll be preaching on the topic Dealing with Difficult People and I'm guessing most of you do not have any difficult people in your lives! (I tried to use the sarcasm font for the previous sentence!).
 
And mark your calendars now for an all-church worship experience on Sunday, Aug. 21. It's the
Back to School Bash! We'll join all of Hope's campuses at Centennial Park in Waukee for a great morning of worship!
