Welcome to this week's edition of the LOOP. In this email, you will find everything that's happening over the next few weeks within our Mount Hope Community.

BREAKING THE CYCLE // THE BOOK OF JUDGES
In our Christian journey, we all encounter situations that are too big for us to handle. How do you respond in such moments? Sometimes, we turn to things and habits that help us alleviate the pain, forget our cares, or even escape reality for a moment. Whether it's binging on our favorite show for hours, turning to alcohol or drugs, eating excessively, etc., these things may aid in leaving behind our burdens for a moment. But the reality is that the problem that caused these situations still exist. As long as the problem remains, we find that we are stuck in a pervasive cycle that leads us deeper into our crisis and farther away from resolution. What we desperately need is for a break in the cycle. So how do we break the cycle? Who or what do we turn to in moments of crisis?
In our latest sermon, we explore in the book of Judges, the problems that the people of Israel encounter and their search for a deliverer. Throughout this book,
we will see God using unlikely people and experiences to teach us more about Him and how we are to live in response to that.
Join us for our sermon series "Breaking the Cycle," where we explore God's Word in the book of Judges

Our children are a gift from the Lord! As parents, we often need help along the way to raise children who glorify God and positively impact the world around them. As we come across resources and tools that we find helpful regarding parenting and/or family related topics, we like to share them with the parents in our community.

When we get married, we all hope to have a marriage that thrives and is full of joy. But as we experience life, we realize that this takes hard work and we often help from those who've "been there." Whether you're just starting out, have been married for a while and need some encouragement, or doing well in your marriage, this ministry is for you!
