Dads and kids, come together to show how much mom means to you! We’ll have a kid-and-dad-friendly meal and Mother’s Day gift-making, and then a time just for the dads while the kids are supervised. Mom gets some time for her, kids get some dad time and some planned programming, and dad/kids come home with a gift for mom.

Find your people! At first Hope might seem like a big place, but if you stop and take a look around, you’ll notice we have all kinds of small groups doing book or bible studies together. Make new friends, do life together, pray for one another, and create enduring relationships whether you’re a introvert or extrovert. We’re better together!
