WELCOME

 If you are female and looking at this site, then you are now one of the Women of Hope! We want you to become part of the family of sisters and share in the fellowship.

WOMEN OF HOPE is a spirited ministry to women of all age groups at Hope Church and throughout our community.

Our Mission:

To disciple women through the celebration of Christian faith.

Our History:

Inspired by the Women of Faith Conferences to unite women in a unique community experience of spiritual growth and support that assures them of God's love, a small group of women here at Hope met and talked, and prayed... and decided that "we can do it too" (on a much smaller scale) for the women in our church congregation.

We made a personal commitment of daily prayer as we pondered the many questions of the "how", the "where", the "who" and the financing... we already knew the "why".

On May 11 and 12, 2001, the first annual Women of Hope Retreat was held at the Word of Life Conference Center in Hudson. Over 50 women united in celebrating the theme of "Renew, Refresh, Rejoice" in the debut of the Women of Hope song. The retreat is held each spring as a Friday/Saturday weekend event. It is open to all women at Hope UMC, their relatives and friends.

All weekend we celebrate our faith through:  music, fellowship, humor, prayer, testimony, drama, Bible study, dynamic Christian speakers and special activities.

 

Upcoming Events:

 Keep an eye on the bulletins, listen for announcements & check the Connection Center for other upcoming events.

Women of Hope, rejoice,
Come together with one voice.
Renew your faith, refresh your Spirit,
Rejoice in the Lord,
Women of Hope.

God has called us together
To lift each other up in prayer.
Sisters in Christ, one in heart and mind
We show each other we care.

We come as one to the Father
Seeking His forgiveness and love.
Trusting that He will set us free
And shower us with peace from above.

Women of Hope, rejoice.
Renew your faith, refresh your Spirit,
Rejoice in the Lord,
Women of Hope.
