Church School/ Children in Worship
May 19th is the last Sunday for Church School and Children in Worship. The following week, May 26, children ages 3 through those who have completed 2nd grade will be meeting together in Room 204, upstairs in the Education Wing, when they are released from the 10 a.m. service. The Children in Worship leaders and the children all had a wonderful year worshipping together.
Appreciation Reception, June 2
The Christian Education Ministry invites everyone to the Appreciation reception for our Children in Worship leaders, Church School teachers, music leaders, and youth leaders. The reception will take place after the 10:00 a.m. service on Sunday, June 2nd. This time is a time to extend our sincere thanks to those who have taught and led our adults, youth and children with a creative, faithful and willing spirit. All leaders, teachers and music leaders will be honored for their service to Hope Church. Hope Church values our educational opportunities and we ask everyone to stay for this short reception to share in the celebration.
Notes of Appreciation
One way to show our thanks is to sign or write a short note on the banner that is available in the Gathering Area on the Sundays prior to the reception. Please spend a few minutes to show your support and appreciation. You will find a listing of all the Children in Worship leaders, Church School teachers, music leaders, and youth leaders and you may write a word of appreciation to them individually or as a whole. Of course, you may thank them in person at the reception or send a personal note to them as well.
Children’s Offering
Our children dedicated their offerings to purchasing a share of fresh food for distribution to people in the community who would otherwise not have good access to the great nutritious value of locally grown food. The children learned how important it is to share our gifts with others and how even small gifts may have a large impact on the lives of others. Thanks for your help, children, in remembering to share what you have been given with others.
