On Sunday, May 3, we as a congregation promise to nurture and pray in support of the children of Hope Church as well as children with special concerns around the world. To celebrate all children on this Sunday and each day that follows, everyone will have the opportunity to select names of children to support and pray for in the coming year. We’ll provide suggestions for how you can make a meaningful connection to those children through prayer and/or involvement with the family; they’ll be available during worship on May 3 and in the Gathering Area for a few weeks after. Our children are a valuable part of our congregation as they share their joy and energy with each of us, and we celebrate them.
