Bake Sale – Sunday, October 23 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Join us for a community bake sale to help raise funds for shipping boxes! Volunteers can bake a tasty treat and bring it packaged and ready to sell to the table outside the front doors of Hope before 10 a.m. After service stop by the table to shop and purchase or make a donation for something delicious to take home! We will keep the table open for neighborhood sales until 2 p.m. Cash is appreciated, but baked goods can also be purchased via credit card by donating to OCC through our Giving app: Donate – Hope Community Church.

9 AM SUNDAY | OCTOBER 23. As the inventor, designer and overseer of marriage, singleness and sex; God communicates His intentions and guidelines for His people throughout the Bible. One of the places where He does so is in 1 Corinthians 5-7. Join us this Sunday at 9 a.m. as we worship our Great God in song, prayer and further meditation on what union with God looks like in our single and married lives. Lead Pastor Dean Wertz will continue our Series In Christ, in Culture with a sermon entitled Fidelity Within Marriage and Singleness. If you are unable to worship in person, we invite you to attend via livestream or watch the Service recording online.
