Dear Hope Church Family,

We have a wonderful opportunity for you to make a lasting impact on the youngest members of our community! Our Sunday morning nursery & preschool class is growing, and we’re looking for passionate, caring volunteers to join our teaching team.

Why Volunteer? Teaching in our preschool class is more than just a commitment—it’s a chance to shape young hearts and minds with the love of Christ. By volunteering, you’ll:

  • Plant Seeds of Faith: You’ll help introduce preschoolers to the foundational truths of the Bible, nurturing their spiritual growth in a fun and engaging environment.
  • Build Relationships: You’ll have the joy of connecting with children and their families, forming bonds that extend beyond the classroom.
  • Be Part of a Team: You’ll work alongside a dedicated group of volunteers who share your passion for teaching and serving others.
  • Experience Joy: There’s nothing quite like the smiles, laughter, and curiosity of little ones. Your presence will make Sunday mornings a time of excitement and discovery for them.

What Does It Involve? As a volunteer, you’ll be involved in:

  • Teaching or Assisting: Whether you prefer leading a lesson or helping out, there’s a role for you! All materials and training will be provided. You would be in the classroom once a month.
  • Storytelling and Crafting: Engage the children with Bible stories, songs, and hands-on activities that bring the lessons to life.
  • Showing Love and Care: Your warm, loving presence is the most important thing you bring to the classroom. You’ll help create a safe and welcoming space where every child feels valued.

How to Get Involved? If you feel called to serve in this meaningful way, please reach out to Julie Loehr at julie@hopechurchatl.com. We welcome volunteers of all experience levels, whether you’re a seasoned teacher or new to working with children.

Thank you for considering this opportunity to invest in the future of our church and community. Together, we can help our preschoolers grow in their faith and love for God.

Bringing little ones to Jesus,
Julie Loehr & the Hope Kids Team

A little more hope…

This past Sunday, Pastor David began a new series, “I AM,” in which we will explore the character and nature of God as He reveals Himself in His Word. In Psalm 145, David gives us a powerful glimpse into who the LORD—YHWH—truly is. YHWH, the great I AM, is unchanging, always faithful, and ever-present. His name itself reminds us that who He is is always who He is.

Psalm 145 is filled with declarations about the LORD’s nature: He is gracious, full of compassion, slow to anger, and great in mercy (v. 8). The LORD is righteous in all His ways and faithful in all He does (v. 17). These truths anchor us, especially in uncertain times.

Pastor David challenged us to meditate on Psalm 145 this week, focusing on each passage that begins with “The LORD is…” As you do, reflect on who God says He is and consider what that means for you personally, in your life, and in your current circumstances. Let these truths shape your understanding and experience of our unchanging God.

Psalm 145

Praising God’s Greatness

A hymn of David.

1 I exalt you, my God the King, and bless your name forever and ever.

2 I will bless you every day; I will praise your name forever and ever.

3 The Lord is great and is highly praised; his greatness is unsearchable.

4 One generation will declare your works to the next and will proclaim your mighty acts.

5 I will speak of your splendor and glorious majesty and your wondrous works.

6 They will proclaim the power of your awe-inspiring acts, and I will declare your greatness.

7 They will give a testimony of your great goodness and will joyfully sing of your righteousness.

8 The Lord is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and great in faithful love.

9 The Lord is good to everyone; his compassion rests on all he has made.

10 All you have made will thank you, Lord; the faithful will bless you.

11 They will speak of the glory of your kingdom and will declare your might,

12 informing all people of your mighty acts and of the glorious splendor of your kingdom.

13 Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom; your rule is for all generations. The Lord is faithful in all his words and gracious in all his actions.

14 The Lord helps all who fall; he raises up all who are oppressed.

15 All eyes look to you, and you give them their food at the proper time.

16 You open your hand and satisfy the desire of every living thing.

17 The Lord is righteous in all his ways and faithful in all his acts.

18 The Lord is near all who call out to him, all who call out to him with integrity.

19 He fulfills the desires of those who fear him; he hears their cry for help and saves them.

20 The Lord guards all those who love him, but he destroys all the wicked.

21 My mouth will declare the Lord’s praise; let every living thing bless his holy name forever and ever.
