Meals Ongoing Whether it’s the loss of a loved one, an illness, the birth of a new baby or other unique circumstances, there are times when the simple act of someone else providing a meal for you and your family can be of the greatest of help. Ministry volunteers not only prepare the meals but also deliver them along with extending their love, prayers and support during this particular time in one’s life. New Moms Ongoing Activity At Hope we celebrate new life by hosting baby showers for our expectant moms and dads. For those with gifts in hospitality and creativity and who have a heart for blessing new parents, this group is just right for you. Prayer Ongoing Activity Prayer is simply communicating with God in an effort to see His hand move in regards to what we have prayed — or simply put: touching heaven, changing earth. If you are passionate about praying for others (intercessory prayer) and desire to touch heaven with prayer and times of fasting and prayer to see God’s work accomplished here on earth, we welcome you to join our prayer team. Additionally, sign up to receive the What’s Up at Hope weekly email which includes the most current prayer needs that you may take into your personal prayer time.
