Fridays at Noon
A Note to Parents
Children are a vital part of all we do at Mount Hope. Our goal is to create a safe, fun, high-energy environment where the truth of God's Word is communicated creatively and effectively.
Upon arriving on Sunday morning, each child must register at one of the registration tables located near the main entrances to the building (one of our Greeters at the front door will be happy to
guide you to the registration table). Each parent will be given a number to be used to reach them during the service if needed.
Children's Ministries for birth through 5 years old are offered during the entire worship service. After registering, children K through 5th grade attend the main service in the sanctuary for about the first 20 minutes of the service and are then dismissed to the Kingdom Kidz service. Dur-ing this time, parents are more than welcome to walk their children down to the Kingdom Kidz room (room 112) to meet the volunteers working with the children. Questions about Kingdom Kidz? Contact Mike King at [email protected].
“Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything
by prayer and petition with thanksgiving let your requests be known
to God.” Philippians 4:6
God moves and works when His people pray! Every Friday the sanctuary is open from 12:00 p.m.—1:00 p.m. for a time of prayer. Come for 5 minutes or come for the en-tire hour, and experience the power of being in God’s presence to-gether.
Palm Sunday - April 13th Services at 9:00 a.m. & 10:45 a.m. Join us as we worship the triumphant King.
Family Easter Egg Hunt at 12:30 p.m. Join us after the 10:45 a.m. service for an Easter Egg Hunt at 12:30 after the second service. Kids and parents welcome to at-tend. Over 2000 Easter Eggs will be hidden throughout the property. Find the Special Golden Egg and win a grand prize!
"Messiah in the Passover" - April 16th Passover Seder Meal begins in the Family Life Center at 6:30 p.m. and ends at 8:30
p.m. The "Messiah in the Passover" presentation is a powerful that will give participants a better understanding of the Passover and the Communion Table. Mid-week children's programs through Grade 2 will meet as usual on Wednes-
day, April 16th. Children Grades 3-5 are encouraged to attend this event with their parents. Please register at the Connections Center and sign up to bring a dish. Reser-vations are required for this event.
Good Friday Service - April 18th One hour service begins at 7:00 p.m. Join us for this powerful, sol-emn remembrance of the sacrifice Jesus made on the cross. Child-care provided from birth through Grade 2.
Resurrection Sunday - April 20th Services at 9:00 a.m. & 10:45 a.m. Come and celebrate the Risen King! After the music portion of the service children are invited to attend Kids Church. While there your children will enjoy breaking open a piñata filled with a treasure map. They will then put it together and
go on a journey to find out the real meaning of Easter (hint: It's not about a bunny or eggs).
