  • Aug 15 - Sept 12 Unit 6 How to Make Good Choices - Lucy Branch

    Many parents pray long and hard that their children will make good choices. It is essential that we equip children while they are young with decision-making skills that will enable them to weigh and evaluate alternatives. This unit will help your children understand the power they have to choose between right and wrong. They will learn how to win the spiritual battle that rages inside, as well as what to do after they make a bad choice — as we all do far too many times. You will encourage your kids to listen to the positive influences that help guide them toward sound choices along the way.

       

  • Sept. 19 - Oct. 10 Unit 7 How to be Faithful Workers - Karen Kowalski

    The topic of work may not immediately appeal to children (or adults for that matter), but God invented the whole idea! Beginning with the first chapters of the Bible and throughout Scripture, God presents work not as a chore but as a gift from Him. Work allows us to engage in God's plan for His wonderful creation. In this unit, you will introduce children to the gift of work, and they will learn how to be faithful workers — as they use their attitudes, their abilities, and their actions. Teach children that when we accept the gift of work, have a good attitude, learn new abilities, and get into action, God can provide for our needs!

 

  • Oct. 17- Nov. 7  - Stephanie Kennedy
  • Nov. 14 - Dec. 5 - Densie Malony

Connect through ministryCry Room

Building a community associated with the idea that a cord of three strands is not easily broken. Ecclesiastes 4:12

A cry room is available during Worship should a need arise.

At 10:00am

DiscipleTown comes to Hope!Your child will enjoy active, fun activities Sunday morning in DiscipleTown. Each week the children (age preschool to 3rd grade) will begin in the main room for worship and praise and then after the morning announcements, they will be guided to their classroom by the DiscipleTown Leader. They will sing and worship using age appropriate songs and a special lesson that will apply God's Word in a large group setting.

Family Worship Services

At Hope Community we encourage families to worship the Lord together from time to time. We realize that this sets us apart from what many expect from a church, but we believe our approach will create long term benefits for parents and their children. The church is not called to imitate the culture, but rather to be set apart from it and to be an example to it; we are to be "a city set on a hill." In our culture today, there are many things that divide children from their parents. We do not want to be one of those things. Instead, we want to help children become more connected to their parents and their church. We believe that the family worshipping together is an important part of achieving this goal.

"Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. Honor your father and mother (which is the first commandment with a promise), that it may be well with you, and that you may live long on the earth. And, fathers, do not provoke your children to anger; but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord."  Ephesians 6:1-4 

At 11:15am

Following the morning service the children will be dismissed from DiscipleTown at 11am, this allows our Sunday school teachers the ability to transition from services, receive your child at 11:15, and for parents to provide a bathroom break for their children.

Feel free to join us in DiscipleTown or Sunday school anytime to speak to the teacher.
