Poinsettias, gift bags, and cards will be shared as we carol to both our own members and in the Hope Church neighborhood. You don’t have to have a great voice, just a smile to share! All ages are encouraged to participate as many voices are needed!
2:30pm
Hot Cocoa & Youth Music – After Caroling we’ll gather again in the Commons and enjoy hot cocoa and cookies. Children and youth choirs will sing during this time of fellowship in preparation for Christmas Eve.

High Hopes Progressive Dinner – All high schoolers are invited to attend this annual event. We will meet at the church and head to our first destination from there. Come dressed to walk in the neighborhood, and don’t forget to bring a white elephant gift!
