🙏 Hope Church Believes in the Power of Prayer
We have two opportunities for our Congregation to pray for our members and friends. Each week on our HopeLine, you can view a list of our members and friends who have requested prayers. Hope’s prayer group meets every Wednesday to pray for these folks. They encourage the Congregation to pray for each of them as well.
On Sundays during the Worship Service, we show on the slide projection screens timely prayer requests for members of Hope to pray for during the service. This list is for members who are in assisted living or nursing homes, undergoing surgery, in treatment, or have other concerns for the coming week. The Worship Committee will contact members on this list each month to determine whether they wish to remain on it.
🙏 Prayer Group
For decades, Hope Church has hosted a weekly prayer group. Our format is simple: we gather around a table in the Parlor and pray. We pray for those names that have been submitted to us and pray for anything the Holy Spirit places on our hearts.
Everyone is welcome—no eloquence or formal training required! The only qualifications are:
A sincere belief in the power of prayer
A commitment to honoring the confidentiality of what is shared during prayer time.
The Prayer Group meets every Wednesday at 11:00 a.m. in the Parlor and concludes around noon. We would love for you to join us!
💍Celebrating a Joyful Union
We are delighted to share the wonderful news of the marriage of Tim Honeycutt and Candace Baer, who exchanged vows on December 27, 2025. As a congregation, let us join in congratulating Tim and Candace on this joyous occasion. May their life together be filled with abundant blessings, laughter, and unwavering faith. We pray that their journey as husband and wife will be marked by love that grows deeper each day and a partnership that reflects God’s goodness and light.
