Hope HighLites
You may still sign up to be a part of Hope’s Prayer Chain, a very vital part of the ministry here at Hope Reformed. The sign-up sheet is on the table in the Narthex.
Why Should we Memorize the Apostles’ Creed and the Lord’s Prayer? The most obvious answer would be for
the instant comfort when we end up in a bad situation. But what about when someone asks you what you believe
in? The Apostles’ Creed is your answer in a nutshell. Or when you need to pray but you don’t know how or what,
the Lords’ Prayer is as instructive to us today as it was to the apostles 2000 years ago. So pick up a copy from the
literature rack in the Narthex and start on your journey of memorization today.
The North Park men are sponsoring their third annual baseball excursion to a Tiger's baseball game
on Thursday, August 6. We'd like to extend the invitation to other fathers, sons, grandfathers and friends. Cost
is $50 for a reserved seat and transportation. We have 56 tickets at ground level. Meet at North Park Reformed
Church (1316 Barney Rd.) at 7:45 am on that day. Bring a lunch or eat at the ballpark. Please call Doug Stapert
(370-2429) or Craig Gernaat (806-9930), if you are interested.
