The awe-inducing faithfulness of God
Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think. Ephesians 3:20
If these is a verse that describes Hope Community Church since our beginning one and half years ago it’s this one. God is doing far more than we can imagine and has been ever faithful to us. He has been faithful in bringing us new people, faithful in taking care of us financially, faithful in a great spirit among our people, faithful in providing great opportunities to serve our community in exciting new ways, faithful is granting us favor with the city, county and our facility but more importantly He has blessed us by allowing us to see people saved and changed in our midst.
Last Sunday night we had a family meeting, we have these a few times a year to talk with the congregation about what God has done and to talk about where He is taking us. What we have determined is that we will not let the lack of a permanent house stop us from fulfilling the purposes and the plans that He has for us. Here is where He is directing us next.
We will have a 2nd service starting September 11. We believe that God is going to use that service to allow us to reach more people for Him.
We added to our staff bringing on a dear friend of mine, Emily Snipes. Emily and her husband Nate are two of the finest people I know. 6 years ago we were working on a church staff together and they moved away but God has brought them back and joined them to our mission. Together with Robin, Heather, Gail, and Dana, Emily completes us and now anything is possible.
This fall we are launching 3 small groups to help with some of the biggest struggles people have in life. We are starting a Financial Peace class to help those who are struggling with finances, a marriage group for those who might need some fresh perspective on their marriage and a group on how the Biblical story fits together, so that you might have confidence that God is for you. You can sign up for these here.
We announced that we are having a prayer and Praise night on Sunday Night, August 28 at 5pm to praise God for what He’s about to do with our second service and to pray for Him to move in that service that more people might know Him as their Savior and Lord
Now how can you help?
Pray that God’s will will be done through these things
Invite anyone you know(or don’t know) that needs to connect or reconnect with God to attend one of the services on September 11
Sign up to serve somewhere in the church. We need kids, tech, greeter and hospitality team members. Send an email to emily@hopecomm.church to get started.
God is one the move. Let’s move with Him.
