Exciting new program coming soon at Hope! This fall we will be starting a new program designed to equip all of us in the faith formation of our children.

This program is not just for parents of the youth, it is for everyone in the congregation, whether you are a parent of young children, a parent to be, grandparents, aunt or uncle or any other member of the church who seeks to be better equipped to talk with our youth about their faith journey.
We will be meeting on the fourth Thursday of every month from 7-9, during youth group, and we will be studying the book “Dear Parent: a guide for family faith formation”

During these sessions we hope to do the following:

• provide you with practical skills on how to have conversations with children and youth about their faith

• an opportunity to learn from others about what worked in their lives and homes

• become more acquainted with our creeds and confessions

• equip you, as we Lord willing guide our children towards their profession of faith and a life of following Jesus 

The evenings will begin with coffee and social time, then we will join the youth for praise and worship and then break off into our own group to begin this study. During the study, our pastors will recap the chapter that we had each read the previous month, engage in group discussion based on the questions in the book and have an opportunity to share any other questions or thoughts you may have about faith formation in our youth.  

Hope CRC does an amazing job at our educational programs and ministries.  This program is designed to equip us to carry on these conversations at home, as we all together seek to fulfill the promises made in baptism for the young people in our community.

For more information please also talk to Pastor Doug, Pastor William or Mike Bekendam 

If you missed our “sign-up” for small groups, it’s not too late. We are gathering information about existing small groups at Hope (did we miss yours?), and expressions of interest in potentially joining a small group. If you are interested, or have any questions, please let us know:

A gift for you! Hope CRC now has created a RightNow Media subscription for all members to access. Think of it like a Netflix for Bible Studies, conferences videos, kids shows, etc. Deepen your faith in your personal study time or dive into a video series with a small group.
