Don’t miss Sunday’s Service as we conclude our series Knowing God: Israel’s Kings
The Message of the Prophets: We Were Meant to “Run on God” 


9 AM SUNDAY WORSHIP | APRIL 23. God has always been speaking to the human race, calling us, inviting us, challenging us and communicating His desire for us to be with Him. In fact, He made us to be fueled by Him as we dwell on this planet. If we try to be fueled by anything else, our lives will not run properly. So, God speaks to us to remind us that without Him it won’t work. During the history of Israel, God used the prophets and his mouthpiece to remind them that He is the only way. Today God continues to speak and to call us to decide to be fueled by Him and Him alone. One of Hope’s Elders, Rob Cupp, will bring us a message entitled The Message of the Prophets: We Were Meant to “Run on God” from 1 Kings 18:17-40. Worship with us in person, via livestream or view the recording here. 

HOPE GROUPS. This Sunday’s Service will be hosted by the Harvard Gulch Hope Group – thank you, Harvard Gulch Group! If you’ve been thinking about joining a Hope group, we’d love to connect with you! Click herfor more information.

CHILDREN’S MINISTRY. Kids ages 2-5th grade are invited to Children’s Church this Sunday! Kelsey and Becky will be leading a lesson on two special prophets and the miracles God did through them to prove He is the ONE true God! (Note: Children typically stay in the service with their parents the 4th Sunday of the month. Family Service was swapped this month with the 2nd Sunday so families could celebrate Easter together.)

YOUTH. Join us tonight (Friday, April 21) for Minute-to-Win-It Game Night from 6 to 9 p.m.at Hope Church! We’ll have dinner, games, music, and tons of fun prizes to give away. Invite your friends and come enjoy the end of the semester. Can’t wait to see you there! RSVP with Tara or by logging into Church Center here. Also, join us this Sunday for Youth Group after the Service! We will meet in the Youth Room from 10:15 to 11:15 a.m. for snacks, discussion and games! Can’t wait to see you there. 

FINANCIAL UPDATE. As we continue to thank God for his provision through generous gifts and savings, we are acknowledging our present and ongoing financial deficit, and collectively seeking God’s direction for decreasing our reliance on savings. If, as you pray for Hope, you have any insights to contribute during this collaborative process, please share your ideas with one of our Elders (Jay Oertli, Dan Kaskubar, John Shanks, Rob Cupp or Dean Wertz). If you have questions about our financials, please contact our Executive Pastor Arik Stewart or any of our Elders.
