Bulletin | October 14, 2021 October 14, 2021 Hope Church Bulletin CANCELED | SUNDAY EVENING MEMBERSHIP HUDDLE. For several reasons, we will not gather for our first all-church Membership Huddle this Sunday evening. Please mark your calendars for our next one on Sunday, February 20 at 6 p.m.! SUNDAY SERVICE 9 AM | October 17. Jesus reigns and He is near to all of His followers. Yet, when difficulties come, it’s natural to get distracted from this central reality. Anticipating hard seasons, Paul used a quill to remind us of several exquisite everlasting facts of faith which he calls the armor of God. This week we will learn why we desperately need to embrace, in our challenging days, God’s breastplate of righteousness! Join us this Sunday (in person or online/live and recorded service) as Pastor Dean brings us a message entitled Why We Need God’s Breastplate of Righteousness from Ephesians 6:10-17. HOSTING. This week’s Sunday Gathering will be hosted by the Platt Park Hope Group! YOUTH. We are having our Youth Hope Group this Sunday beginning at 10:30 am, but instead of the usual schedule, we are going to celebrate autumn by taking the students on a trip to a seven-acre Corn Maze! This Corn Maze is organized by the Denver Botanical Gardens at Chatfield Farms. Transportation will be provided, and students will be either dropped off at the church by 11:45 a.m. or taken home by our volunteers. If your student would like to participate, please contact Tara by phone/text 719-464-6812 or email by Saturday to secure a ticket. We can’t wait! KIDS. KIDS MINISTRY. Sunday School for ages 2 years-5th grade is available on the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Sundays of each month.
