CHILDREN’S MINISTRY.
Children’s Advent Drama – Please join us and invite family and friends to our Family Service, December 22. On the 4th Sunday of Advent, the kids of Hope’s Children’s Ministry will be narrating and dramatizing the life of our “Upside-down King”. From his wildly unexpected birth, to the humble way he led and served, to giving up His own life so that the world could have abundant life through Him, expect to be blessed by the good news of our Upside-down King through the eyes of our children.
Children’s Church. This 2nd Sunday of the month, kids ages 3 yrs old to 5th grade are invited to join Children’s Church! We will be learning and practicing a skit on Jesus as our “Upside-down King” for our 4th Sunday of Advent family service. Every child who wants to will have an important role!
Babies and Toddlers. Families with children 0-3 years old are invited to remain in the sanctuary or to use the baby sky box at any point during the service.
For any questions regarding Children’s Ministry policies and procedures or interest in volunteering, please contact Becky Newquist.

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!
SHARING LOVE THIS SEASON! This year we have talked a lot about a one-on-one friendship with someone who does not yet have a relationship with God. Here is the very podcast that encouraged our leaders to share this mission and vision with Hope. We encourage you to listen and continue to pray for a certain person to come into your life to share the Love of Jesus with.
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.
