  • Monday Night Book Group (Online Only)

    Mondays 7:00pm

    Jan 13 to Apr 14

    All are welcome to join us for the first book group of 2025! Our chosen book is a topic we all need to think about more often "What's So Amazing About Grace?". In this book, Philip Yancey offers accurate portraits of grace’s life-changing power. It was first published in 1997, but the new, updated edition came out in 2023. The stories, set amid life’s stark realities, evoke questions such as: How well are we dispensing grace to a world that knows far more of strife and unforgiveness than it does of mercy? Can grace make a difference amid personal conflict? How can it withstand the brutality of hate? This edition contains a new introduction from the author, fresh anecdotes, and cultural insights for our fast-moving times. Yancey challenges us to become living answers to a world that desperately needs to know "What’s So Amazing About Grace?"

  • Wednesday Night Book Group

    Wednesdays 7:30pm

    Mar 12 to May 14

    "Saving Grace" by Kirsten Powers is a thought-provoking exploration of the concept of grace and its potential to transform our increasingly polarized society. Drawing from her personal experiences as a political commentator,  Powers argues that grace is essential for coexistence and provides practical guidance on applying it in our daily lives, from personal relationships to broader social and political contexts.


    Kirsten Powers has been a columnist for several publications, including USA Today for over a decade, The Daily Beast, and the New York Post. She served as a CNN senior political analyst for seven years until 2023, providing on-air analysis of major political and cultural events.

  • Dinners for 8-ish

    Dinners for 8-ish is an easy, fun way to get to know others at Hope! It connects you with a group of 5-8 people who share casual meals together, once a month for 4 consecutive months. Each group decides the specifics of when and where they will meet. Try a new restaurant or an old favorite. Or gather at the home of one of the group for a pot-luck.


    Dinners for 8-ish is broken down into 3 sessions per year:

    • Fall (October-January)
    • Spring (February-May)
    • Summer (June-September)

    Those who sign up for the current session (signup available 3 weeks prior to the upcoming session) are divided into groups of 6-9 people and will receive an email detailing who is in their group. Group members then organize themselves by choosing a date and location for each month's dinner.
