Children's Church Promotion

CHILDREN'S CHURCH PROMOTION SUNDAY IS JUNE 14TH
 
It's that time of year when we "promote" our children to their next grade level in Children's Church!
 
Just to remind you of the age and grade requirements for each class:
Infants      0-2years
Toddlers   2-3 years
Children   Pre-K thru 1st grade
Primary   2nd thru 5th grade
 
Here's how it works:  For example, if your child is in 1st grade and will be moving on to 2nd grade come September, they should move up to the Primary class on June 14th.  For those moving up to the Children's class, they should be 4 years old and potty trained.  There is not diaper changing capabilities in that class.  We will let your child know if they are moving up on the 14th.
 
Contact LaTosha Briggs with any questions.
 

hope notes 5/28/09

Dear Friends of Hope ~

Did you ever stop to think about how well God knows us?  Lately, I have been seeing how God knows me so well that He is providing not only for my needs, but for the little desires of my heart as well.  Things I don't even ask for, yet He blesses me with them anyway.  The next time you receive an unexpected blessing/gift that comes at exactly the right moment, know that your heavenly Father is handing you a tangible piece of His love to remind you of how much He cares.

 

SUNDAY SERMON

5/31 –– The Power without the Source (Acts 8:4-25)

God has designed the Christian life to be a powerful thing – noticeably powerful.  And there are some who can see what God is doing and want that power to be at work in their lives too!  But our world wants the power without the Source.  They'd rather have happiness and peace and hope without having to worship the true and living God.  Unfortunately, it just doesn't work that way.  The book of Acts records a story just like this where a man wanted to ability to do the miracles that the disciples were doing, but he wanted to obtain that power with money.  Peter makes it clear that there is no way we can have power without also receiving the Source of power – our Lord Jesus Christ!

 

CD'S AVAILABLE

Please remember that our services are available on CD immediately following the service for FREE!  Pick up a copy for yourself or for anyone they want to share Hope with.  Pastor Mark's messages are also available on our website, www.hopechristianfellowship.org

 

SUNDAY MORNING PRAYER TIME

Our Sunday morning prayer time is open to everyone. We start at 9:15 am in one of the classrooms. We pray for the services that morning and for the needs in the church.

 

BIBLE READING FOR JUNE - 2 KINGS

Continuing the history begun in 1 Kings, this book lets us witness the spiritual deterioration of Israel & Judah.  Despite the miracle God worked through Elisha & Elijah, both Israel & Judah abandoned their faith and were taken into captivity by warrior nations.  The book ends with Jerusalem in ruins and Solomon's temple demolished - a far cry from the glory days when David ruled his people in godliness.

 

OPPORTUNITIES FOR SPIRITUAL GROWTH

 

COUPLES DEVOTIONAL BOOKS

We have a devotional book for married couples out on the back table.  Pick one up for you and your spouse so that you can feel the benefit of spending time together in God's Word, being in prayer together, and making the Lord the center of your relationship. Invest some time in your marriage and in your connection with the Lord and watch how He blesses you!

Come and join us as we look through the book of Genesis.  Study is from 7:30 - 8:30 pm every Wednesday.  Childcare is available.

hope notes 5/21/09

 

Dear Friends of Hope ~

Every time Communion Sunday rolls around, we get the chance to reflect on Christ's sacrifice on the cross and all that it means to us.  I don't know about you, but I am guilty of not really remembering that on a regular basis.  Sure, I thank Him for many things each and every day, but not the cross.  Not often enough.  That's why I love our praise song, "Thank you for the cross, Lord.  Thank you for the price you paid….." Come this Sunday.  Come and remember.

 

SUNDAY SERMON

5/24  COMMUNION – How Far Will You Go? (Acts 7:51-8:3)

Talk is cheap.  We hear that phrase all the time and know that it sums up many of the boasts and rants that fill our conversations each day.  We know what everyone else should do, but would we really do what we say if we had the chance?  Are we doing what we're supposed to do in our own opportunities?  Conviction comes when we are willing to not only know the right answer, but we're willing to put it all on the line.  Stephen's speech to the religious leaders ends with him holding nothing back.  He makes it clear that they have rejected God's Messiah – and he pays for this with his life!  Coupled with this story is another person who is willing to go all the way – Saul!  He is convinced that these followers of Jesus are wrong and he needs to stamp them out of existence.  God gets him pointed in the right direction later, but his willingness to go all the way never changed, and God used it for immeasurable eternal good!

hope notes 5/14/09

 

Dear Friends of Hope ~

Our God is in the business of blessings!  Blessings come in all shapes and sizes, in the darkness and in the light, in the good times and in the bad.  Sometimes they come when we least expect them, but they always come at exactly the right time (God's time!).  Watch for them.  Listen for them.  And always remember to thank God for them.  After all, they are His calling card!

 

SUNDAY SERMON

5/17 – God's People Will Always Face Struggles – Moses and the Tabernacle (Acts 7:20-50) 

As Stephen continues his discussion of Israel's history, he turns to one of the most famous characters in all of Israel – Moses.  It was the writings of Moses that were causing these religious leaders to reject Jesus.  But Stephen wants them to see that Moses faced the same type of rejection and struggle that Jesus had just faced.  He wants them to understand that just because we know the truth doesn't mean we will always put our faith in it.  And when we choose to live on our own wisdom, we struggle needlessly!  So let us renew our passion to embrace the truth and live it in our lives each day!

BAPTISMAL SERVICE - THIS SUNDAY

Sunday May 17th @ 1:30
