Welcome to Children's Ministry Online at Hope!

During this unprecedented time of the Covid-19 pandemic, we offer a variety of resources to support you as you encourage your children on their faith journey.  Children's Ministry, indeed all types of ministry, look different now while we are maintaining social distance. We pray that your family will connect to each other and to God in new and creative ways. 

A Worship Guide is posted each week that includes an online bulletin, prayer list, and announcements, as well as children's worship bulletins. Here is the link: https://www.hopeumc.com/SS-at-Home

A NOTE FROM YOUTH DIRECTOR KATHY ASKINS:
In the time of Covid-19, we have to get creative in how we do all the things we want to do. God is with us throughout these times, and the church is too!  We get to be the church even if we're not AT the church.  All of the following activities will continue online until the shelter in place order is lifted.  Youth - join us!  Parents - encourage your youth to participate.  And everybody, please let me know if there is anything the church can do to support you.  We are truly all in this together.
Teenagers need to talk!  Our middle school and high school students can still meet together, even when we're all sitting in our homes.  We continue to hold online Sunday School and Thursday Night Youth Group; all youth are welcome to come and invite others to join in by sharing the link that you can get from our Youth Director, Kathy Askins at HopeUMYKathy@gmail.com.  (We are limiting access to those links to preserve privacy and security for our Youth.)  And, as always, Lorrie is always available to talk or counsel you privately.

SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSONS, SUNDAY MORNINGS, 10:00-10:45

Come to Sunday School with some of your regular teachers online! Have your Bible close by, paper and pen/pencil just in case you need to write something down. For privacy and security, we are limiting access to this Zoom meeting.  Contact Kathy at HopeUMYKathy@gmail.com to get the link.

THURSDAY NIGHT YOUTH GROUP, 4:30-6:00

We can't meet in person, but we can still meet online for virtual games, discussions, and fun on Thursday evenings!  Come for the whole time if you can, or pop in when you're available.  For privacy and security, we are limiting access to this Zoom meeting, but your friends are always welcome!  Contact Kathy at HopeUMYKathy@gmail.com to get the link.
