IMPACT '08 - A Message from Ken Rayment

(March 2008)

Impact events are both an opportunity to hear real stories of how God has impacted lives, and an invitation to experience God, Freedom and Hope for yourself.

I want to personally invite you to read some of the stories of changed lives. (visit:www.impactministries.org.au)

Each event is free and will cater to both youth and adults. Each night is unique but will always include lively music, amazing stories, a message of hope, and of course the opportunity for anyone who wants to receive prayer for God to Impact their life!

Ken

Hope Community Church has committed to be involved in this combined churches outreach campaign. It begins on Good Friday and continues for eight days. The training days for Prayer Team members are now February 29th and March 1st. However, there are many ways in which you can be involved and help. Grab an Impact 08 brochure at church for more details or look in the events listed on the left of this page in the "Coming Up" section.

Christianity: Boring, Untrue, Irrelevant? - The Alpha Course

(August 2007)

Hope is commencing the Alpha Course in August. If you feel that you would like to investigate Jesus, the Bible or the Christian faith in more detail, the "Alpha Course" is an opportunity to explore the Christian faith in a relaxed, non-threatening manner over eleven thought-provoking weekly sessions.

Come along to the Introductory Dinner on Sunday 19th August at Fountain Gate Hotel (bookings essential). If you miss out on the dinner, don't worry, as you can commence the Alpha Course anytime within the first 3 weeks. It won't be too late.
