Bulletin | August 4, 2022

9 AM SUNDAY | AUGUST 7. Our community is committed to growing, gathering, giving, and going together. Each of these commitments is crucial for us and our church to thrive, especially giving. Giving honors God and empowers Hope to meet the material and spiritual needs of families within our community and within the communities of those we partner with. It’s biblically supported, practically needed, and deeply fulfilling to invest in Christ’s redemptive mission through his local church. May we all freely give as we’ve freely received! We look forward to gathering with you in person or online as we worship together and Pastor Arik brings our message entitled Giving from Acts 2:42-47. See you Sunday!
