CHRISTMAS EVE | 5pm Service. This year, please join us at a new time – 5pm for our Candlelight Christmas Eve Service. We welcome family and friends to this beautiful Service to celebrate the birth of our King!
YEAR-END GIVING. Thank you to the many households who have blessed Hope in past Decembers with extra gifts to supplement our monthly income to fund the ongoing ministries of Hope. Last year’s December giving contributed significantly to help us finish our Sept 2023 – Aug 2024 ministry year cash positive!
Will you please spend time with God this month to ask Him if He would like you to bring an extra offering for Hope and then respond to how He leads?
FINANCIAL UPDATE. May God richly bless all of you who pray, serve, encourage and give to equip Hope to help more people abide in Jesus throughout Metro Denver and around the world. Please read the 2nd footnote in our October financial snapshot to understand why our expenses were higher than normal this October.
For those who have recently joined our community and / or are curious about giving to Hope, you can give online here, mail a check to 1801 S. Logan St. Denver, CO 80210 or use an offering box in the back of the Sanctuary.
