Join us for a stirring live Readers Theatre interpretation of a Tenebrae Good Friday Service on Friday, April 15 at 6:30 p.m. featuring members of your talented church family.

Please
join us for
our Easter Sunday
Service
at 10:10 a.m.
Lenten Cents Donations will be collected Sunday
During Lent, HOPErs have been saving 57 cents a day to honor Hattie May Wiatt*.

We will collect the money on Easter Sunday, April 17, and the following week the children of HOPE will help decide which local charities will receive donations from HOPE.
Surveys Are Being Reviewed
The survey has closed and now it's time for the Ministry Council to pore over the answers.

The next step will be reviewing those responses at the Quarterly Congregational Meeting on April 24. Following the discussion at that meeting, the Council will continue to review input and options and will have an answer by June 1.

The building lease expires at the end of August so we are on a very tight timeframe. Over the history of HOPE we have journeyed from worshiping in schools, to purchasing and selling our own property, and now, to renting local space. In each of these physical locations the essence and mission of HOPE has blossomed.

Ministry Council
Adult Quest will be taking an Easter break from our book study. 

Have a blessed week and we will see you on the 24 of April.

This HOPE ministry offers a safe space for LGBTQ+ faith-seekers to explore their spiritual life. Some participants may be skeptical of church and faith and cautious about rejoining a church.
Next meeting: Sunday, April 24 at 1 p.m.
Explore Your Faith Breakfast
meets and discusses a wide ranging assortment of spiritual topics every Wednesday at 7:30 a.m. at Quincy’s Restaurant, 1112 E. Ogden Avenue in Naperville. Join us - we'd love to have you.
