Pentecost : Acts 2: 2-4
2 And suddenly there came from heaven a sound like a mighty rushing wind, and it filled the entire house where they were sitting. 3 And divided tongues
as of fire appeared to them and rested on each one of them. 4 And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit gave them utterance.

Thank you to the ladies who brought their baby pictures to Hope to celebrate Mother’s Day. What fun it was to guess and then find out who

🙏 The Harvest is Great: 10:02 Prayer (Click to Pray)
"The harvest is great, but the workers are few. So, pray to the Lord who is in charge of the harvest; ask him to send more workers into his fields." — Luke 10:2
We encourage all members and friends of Hope to pray at 10:02 a.m. or 10:02 p.m. daily.
"Dear Father, you are the Master of the harvest. The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Please Father send more people into our world. Send people who will share, in word and deed, the love of Jesus. Please Father send more people to our church, and others; so they can hear of Jesus' love, forgiveness, salvation, and new life. We ask this in the name of Jesus. Your final Word to us!"
Thank you for joining us in this daily mission.
