“And the Lord said to Paul one night in a vision, “Do not be afraid, but go on speaking and do not be silent, for I am with you, and no one will attack you to harm you, for I have many in this city who are my people.” And he stayed a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them.”
Acts 18:9-11
Hello Hope Bible Church,
Jesus continues to build His church! Please continue to pray in humble dependence upon the Lord for His continued work among us. We need Him so much. Through all that He has done and is doing in His Church, may Jesus continue to increase as we joyfully decrease! Let's go!

ANNOUNCEMENTS
Reminder
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, please be sure to submit your prayer requests and praise reports via the “Hope Prays” link on our website; which can be found here.
Hope Kids Easter Choir
We are Lord willing looking to have a Hope Kids choir for this year's Easter service on April 19. If you would like your child to be a part of this, please register them on our website at hopeottawa.ca/kids by March 22.
If you have any questions, please contact Laura at hkids@hopeottawa.ca
Membership Class
We believe that from the earliest followers of the Lord Jesus Christ, believers have identified with and committed themselves to a particular local body. In light of this understanding, Hope Ottawa affirms the value of formal church membership. Our next church membership class is happening April 13 @ 1-3pm online. Sign up at hopeottawa.ca/membership.
Serving at Hope
It is a privilege to worship the Lord through service in the church. The ministries at Hope are growing and we need volunteers to faithfully step in to meet the needs! We have needs in our Welcome, Hope Kids, Production and Set-Up/Tear Down ministries. Visit our website here to fill out an application and get plugged in today. Please email llau@hopeottawa.ca with any questions you may have. We look forward to serving with you!
