Bulletin | November 7, 2026

9AM WORSHIP TOMORROW. Join us for worship and praise! Lead Pastor Dean Wertz brings a sermon titled There is Another King… Jesus from Acts 17:1-9. Thanks to the Youth Group for hosting our morning tomorrow! As a reminder, the Sunday Service is available via livestream and the sermon is posted online on Monday.

Mark your calendars now: on Sunday, December 20, there will NOT be a Sunday morning service. Instead, we will gather in the Sanctuary at 6:00 pm for a special Christmas Program. Be sure to check below for more information on the production and ways to participate.

Baptism November 22. We are planning to facilitate an opportunity to be baptized during the Service on Sunday, November 22. If you are interested in being baptized, please reach out to Pastor Dean or Administrative Assistant Aubrey Melton.


OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD. It’s that time of year to consider being a part of a very special opportunity for giving to children  in need! Prior to the Holiday Season, Hope takes part in this amazing effort to make a difference for many families at Christmas. Please consider taking a shoebox (or more) to fill with toys, goodies, and gifts. Shoe boxes are now available in the back of the Sanctuary!

THIS SUNDAY! Join Us for Rake Fest!

Grab your rakes and wear your grubbies! Right after the church service this Sunday, we’ll be heading outside to clean up our church grounds. Bring any yard tools you think might be helpful for raking and leaf cleanup.

As a big thank you for all your hard work, pizza will be provided for all our rakers!

Dear Hope Church Family,
I want to share an important ministry update and invite you to pray with us.
Since 2019, my sister, Becky Walker, has faithfully served as our Communications Coordinator from the East Coast. Becky has recently resigned from this role to focus on other priorities with her family as she enters a new season of life.
Over the years, Becky has contributed in countless ways. She has prepared our weekly bulletin, posted our weekly livestream services, kept us connected throughout 2020 with “Hope at Home,” created visual content for our website and sanctuary screens, provided wise counsel to me and our staff, and supported many behind-the-scenes ministry efforts that helped our church communicate effectively and stay connected.
We are grateful that Becky is helping with the transition by training Aubrey Melton, who will temporarily assume these responsibilities.
While we are excited for Becky and this new chapter that will allow for more family time, I will personally miss working nearly every day with my amazingly gifted, humble, loyal abider in Jesus, loving and wise sister. As a church family, we will also miss her joyful encouragement and her enthusiasm for what God is doing in and through our congregation.
Please join me in praying for Becky as she transitions into this new season. Also, please pray for Aubrey as she takes on these additional responsibilities and learns the many aspects of this important ministry.
Thank you, Becky, for your years of faithful service. We are deeply grateful for the ways God has used you to strengthen and bless Hope Church.
Love,
Dean

CHILDREN’S MINISTRY.

Children’s Church. November in Children’s Ministry is gratitude month. Each week we will have a special lesson and activity built upon biblical foundations of gratitude, including a special Thanksgiving meal on Sunday Nov 22nd. Kids, start talking with your parents about a traditional family dish you might enjoy sharing at our Children’s Church Thanksgiving.
In addition to a focus on gratitude, starting November 1st, a portion of Children’s Church will be set aside to begin rehearsing for our All-Church Christmas Program.

Babies and Toddlers – At any point before or during the Sunday Service, the Baby Sky Box is available for caregivers and their babies and toddlers.

For any questions regarding Children’s Ministry policies and procedures or interest in volunteering, please contact Becky Newquist.

Join us in bringing to life an original Christmas Program this Christmas week! We are looking for team members to serve in adult and children acting roles (listed below), as backstage hands, set builders, tech crew, and musicians (choir and instruments).

Becky Newquist and Rich Roybal will be available in the Sanctuary after church this Sunday for anyone interested in participating. If you cannot make it this Sunday, please email Becky Newquist to get connected!
