Justice & Witness Ministry
Hope Church is forming a team and deciding on our priorities, since there is no shortage of injustice issues that cry out to be confronted. It is clear that Hope has a heart for fighting for justice, and that can inspire us to be energized rather than exhausted when faced with hate and domestic terrorism.
Book Club
The Book Club participants select interesting and inspiring books to read and discuss. All are welcome to join the group on the fourth Tuesday of each month at 1:30pm in the multipurpose room at the church. The meeting are held from September to May of each year.
