Please do not have any food or drink other than water in the sanctuary before, during or after the service. Thank you for your cooperation in this.
Hope Prays
A house of prayer is a house that sees their need for prayer and comes alongside each other in prayer. As Elders, it is a privilege and joy for us to pray for you. In addition to our Connection Cards, you can submit your prayer requests and praise reports via the “Hope Prays” link on our website; which can be found here.

One of our core convictions as a church is fervent prayer. Be sure to join us at our next church-wide prayer night on Wednesday July 16 @7:30-9:00pm, here at the church facility. We look forward to seeing you all there!

Romania Mission Trip Prayer Guide
Jesus is building His church here and around the world! We are so thankful to have the opportunity to send a mission team from Hope Ottawa to Romania this summer again. Part of being a sending church means we are a praying church. Please pick up your Romania mission trip prayer guide at the welcome table after the service, so you can be praying specifically for our mission team this summer and keep track of what is coming up for them during the trip each day. Please take 1 per family. Go Lord!
