Expected bad weather has changed our plans and here's what you need to know:

Both services are combined events with Grace Church, and are be hosted at Hope Community Church.

Good Friday - The Death of Deaths
Friday 3 April, 7pm at Hope Church.  
A quiet, reflective service meditating on the death of Jesus.
This service will be live-streamed from 7pm.

Easter Sunday - Resurrection Sunday
Sunday 5 April, 10am, at Hope Church.
NOTE: With wet weather likely, we've decided to host this service at Hope Church (like last year).
This service will be live-streamed from 10am.

You can expect joyful singing, creative telling of the Christmas story, and a great message celebrating Jesus' resurrection.
We will have a creche for preschoolers, Kidschurch for school age, and an overflow room with a livestream.

Teapot Valley will be providing morning tea.  If you'd like to make a gift to Teapot Valley, you can do this online:

LEARN A SIMPLE WAY TO DISCIPLE

Would you like to learn a simple way to disciple someone?  

Many of us don’t know where to start, and we’d love to teach you a simple method that focuses on Scripture, our hearts, and the change that Christ wants to bring.

To indicate your interest to be part of the training, email lisa@hopechurch.org.nz, and we will be in touch with more details.

For a sneak peak, have a read of this term's We Are Hope – the section called Grow Deep Go Small, and the very last page of the magazine.

SUNDAY EVENING SERVICE INTEREST

During Term 2 and 3, we plan to trial a Sunday evening service.

Here are some FAQs that may be useful for you: 

Q1/ What’s the point?

To help people worship God and grow as followers of Jesus – through a fresh, smaller expression of worship, at a new time, that has a more organic feel. 

This will create new opportunities to serve, to invite guests, and create space in two gatherings (10am and 6pm) for people to worship God. 

 Q2/ What’s the plan?

 Our plan is to trial a simple, stripped back service, held in the Redwood Room, with Worship + Word + Usual Hope DNA elements. 

 Draft details include: 6pm service start, followed by tea and coffee.  Expect communion, prayer and encouragement to connect and grow.  No children’s programs.  First Sunday: May 3 (ie, after school holidays and Anzac Weekend).  Held through Term 2 and 3, then reassess.  

 Q3/ Who can come?

 Everyone is welcome.  We encourage folk to attend the 10am OR the 6pm service, though you are welcome to come to both, and serve at either. 

The message will be the same at both services (at least to begin with). This smaller gathering may be one that you’d love to invite your friends and family to.
