ADVENT SUNDAY | WORSHIP 9 AM | DECEMBER 5. Have you ever made a plan that went entirely different than you expected? How do we respond when the things we want and expect out of life don’t happen? Or when the Lord calls us to something different than what we planned for ourselves? This second Sunday in Advent, Tara Farrell brings us a message entitled Waiting Unexpectedly – the story of Mary, Mother of Jesus, and how God reached into her life and turned everything upside down. And more importantly, how Mary responded to His plan to redeem Israel and ultimately the entire world! Join us in person or online (live and recorded service).
COVID-19 PROTOCOL UPDATE. In light of Denver’s recently-reinstituted mask mandate, we ask that you wear a mask while inside Hope’s building. Our staff continues to provides heightened sanitation and ventilation measures throughout the building and is providing masks and hand sanitizer at all entrances and exits.
