Summer is officially here, and there’s a lot happening around the Hope this month! We’d love for you to stay engaged and rooted in community throughout the summer season! 🤗

📖 New sermon series: “Who Is This?”
This month, we’ve kicked off a new series through the Gospel of Luke as we continue exploring the identity, character, authority, and heart of Jesus through the stories and encounters found in Luke.

As a church, we’re also officially halfway through walking through all four Gospels together this year!

🍿🌎 VBS is almost here!
VBS is happening June 20–24, and registrations are open! This summer, we’re hosting VBS, as well as Hope Local Cedar Valley and Hope Local Panora along with all of Hope’s campuses! There’s still room for volunteers to jump in and help make the week special for kids and families! ✨

☀️🙌🏼 Young adults, stay connected this summer!
REVIVE is Hope’s grace-based ministry for young adults in their 20s and 30s to connect, worship, grow, and serve together. Whether you’re home from college, recently graduated, new to the Des Moines area, or looking for community, REVIVE is a great place to plug in this summer.

and REVIVE Young Adult Ministry | ANKENY meet on Thursdays at 7:00pm. You can also tune in online from anywhere at YouTube.com/revivewdm!

🙏🏽 If you could use prayer, support, encouragement, or someone to talk to, Hope is here for you! 💙 Please reach out to your site leaders or directly to Mark Brandt at [email protected] or visit hopewdm.org/prayer to share online.

Thank you for being part of the broader Hope family! 🫶🏼 We hope you can join us for worship this Sunday at 9:15am!

We’ve journeyed through the Gospels of Matthew and Mark. Now we’re turning to the Gospel of Luke and asking one life-changing question: Who is Jesus, really? ✨

From the moment He is born, people are amazed by Him. He inspires and transforms hearts, teaches with wisdom beyond His years, calms storms, raises the dead, and changes lives wherever He goes. Again and again, people are left asking, “Who is this?” 👀

As we begin our new series through Luke, we’ll discover that the answer changes everything. ❤️‍🔥

Join us this Sunday at 9:15am as we kick off a new journey through Luke and encounter Jesus in a fresh and powerful way, and stick around afterward for SUNDAY FUNDAY!! 🙌🏼💙

This Memorial Day, we pause to remember and honor the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our country. 🇺🇸

We’re grateful for the sacrifice, courage, and love demonstrated by so many for the sake of others. As we reflect today, may we also remember the words of Jesus:

“There is no greater love than to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.”
– John 15:13

Praying for peace, comfort, and gratitude for all who carry the weight of remembrance today.
