Church Family Update

October 16

"But the hour is coming, and is now here, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father is seeking such people to worship him. God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.""

‭‭John‬ ‭4‬:‭23‬-‭24‬

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!

Hope Prays

In lieu of 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.
