Hope Church Merthyr

12/06/2026

✨🏓🍬 Hope Teens is a free, exciting youth group for school years 7-13 - every Friday during term time is packed with time to hang out with friends, play table tennis, do some colouring or bracelet making (for those who prefer a more chilled out time) and engage in meaningful chats while enjoying sweets from the tuck shop.

There is no pressure to get involved in everything or to play games if that’s not your vibe - we have a wonderful team of dedicated leaders to make the environment as comfortable as possible, and they’re always happy to have a chat!

More information and consent forms can be found on our website 🧑‍💻

See you there! 👋

The safety and wellbeing of our young people is a priority. All Hope Teens leaders are DBS checked, and trained first aiders are part of the team.

⛪️✨CATCH UP✨⛪️

The prophet Ezekiel saw a river flowing from God’s temple, bringing life wherever it went. Jesus declared that this river would flow through those who would trust in him. This river, he says, is the Holy Spirit. Front and centre of Paul’s vision for the church in Ephesians is a people indwelt by the Holy Spirit for the blessing of the nations. In a world that often feels dry, weary and fractured, what does it mean to live as his church indwelt by the Holy Spirit?

⛪️✨ Sunday Gathering at 10:30,
everyone is welcome!

No membership, no seating plan, no dress code - come as you are

Hope Kids will run for little ones during the service, and tea and coffee will be available down in the basement afterwards.

The prophet Ezekiel saw a river flowing from God's temple, bringing life wherever it went. Jesus declared that this river would flow through those who trust in him.
In a world that often feels dry, weary, and fractured, what does it mean to live as his church indwelt by the Holy Spirit? This Sunday we’re taking a panoramic view: What is Paul's vision in Ephesians of God's presence among his people? And what does the future kingdom beginning to break into the present look like?

See you there! 👋

⛪️✨CATCH UP✨⛪️

I therefore, a prisoner for the Lord, urge you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling to which you have been called, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love, eager to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. There is one body and one Spirit—just as you were called to the one hope that belongs to your call— one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all. But grace was given to each one of us according to the measure of Christ’s gift.
‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭4‬:‭1‬-‭7‬ ‭ESV‬‬

This is a complete foundation of unity.
It lacks nothing.
And so we’re meant to be one, and we share this one foundation, but we’re not meant to be clones.
We’re meant to be this kind of body that is made up of diverse individuals who are individuals.
We come from different backgrounds and different histories.
We’ve got different preferences.
We’ve got different life stories.
And yet He’s pulled us together as this diverse, different group of people to display something of His glory in the world. He’s given us different gifts, but grace was given to each one of us according to the measure of Christ’s gift.

Firstly, God blesses you so you can be a blessing to others.
Secondly, God changes us from the inside out.
Thirdly, that heart change is focused upon who’s in charge and who owns us.
Fourthly, we receive love from God to give to others, and we show to others what it looks like to live day by day as loved children.
But fundamentally, we’re all called to show the world and the people in our lives how good and how beautiful it is to live as God’s loved children with God in charge.
We’re invited into this relationship where we can show others that it’s good, and it’s beautiful to have God in charge of our lives and not ourselves - and that is what it is to live as a loved child of God.

I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you.
‭‭Genesis‬ ‭12‬:‭2‬-‭3‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Worship night is more than music - it’s family, community, and making space for God together 🙌

No matter where you’ve been or what your week looked like, you’re invited. Come as you are and worship with us on Sunday evening ✨🙏
