   Dear Parents of Hope,

   Our next Parent/Child Dedication class is Wednesday, April 18th – we’ll cover the “why” of child dedications and principles for creating a Christian home. If you want to dedicate a child this spring or simply be encouraged in your parenting journey, please join Pastor Matt Ryniker and Children’s Ministry Director, Hala Tompkins for an evening of encouragement and equipping as you prepare to dedicate the newest member of your family to the Lord Jesus.

   Class starts at 10AM – Noon.

   The Dedication Service is scheduled for Sunday, April 19th.

   Sign up for the class and childcare by emailing Hala Tompkins, Director of Children’s Ministries.

   Hala Tompkins | December 30th, 2025

   Dear Parents,

   The HopeKids ministry is happy to be able to provide classes for kids of all ages on Sunday mornings! Classes begin at 10am. Here’s what to expect on Sundays during the school year.

   When you arrive, a greeter will escort you to the coffee shop. There you will find the HopeKids kiosk and check in station. One of our friendly volunteers will be glad to get your kids registered and checked in for the morning. Once you are checked in, you and your children will be escorted to their appropriate classes. During the morning, your child will experience fun, age-appropriate Bible lessons from Brite*, age-appropriate worship, and have lots of fun. We look forward to meeting you this Sunday!
