We hope you are keeping well and staying healthy.  As you are aware, we decided that instead of gathering together in-person for regular services, we'll come together online exclusively. Services will be held online on Sundays at 10am at  mounthope.org/live .  As of now, we will be meeting online for the foreseeable future. 


If you have been impacted by the COVID-19 virus, please know that we are here for you. Please click on the button below to let us know how we can serve you or if you would like to help meet the needs of others. More information about opportunities to help will continue to be provided so we can share the love of Christ with those in need.
MOUNT HOPE KIDS ADVENTURE
While we encourage you to gather your whole family together to watch the service, we understand that this is not ideal for young children.  To that end, we've put together some alternative solutions for your young ones.  Below are some resources that you can use with your preschool and elementary children. Remember to take the time to teach your kids that church is not a building; church is when Christ's children assemble together to worship Him. Church can be right in your own home!

PRESCHOOL CRAFT

This week's craft also serves as a tangible way to show love to someone in your community.

ELEMENTARY FOLLOW-UP ACTIVITIES

After watching the elementary video, try this fun activity to provide a greater understanding of the lesson.

Here's what you'll need: 
  • Wrapped candy and a cotton ball (or another small object)
  • Use this instructional page for guidance
  • Use this page to extend the discussion.
In addition to the activity, here is a  devotional  to use with your children throughout the week. It is a 4-day devotional with a different scripture to discuss each day. This is a great way to help model doing daily devotions and encourage healthy spiritual habits within your home.

Here is a  coloring page  to help remember this month's theme of forgiveness.
NEW FAMILY CHALLENGE
Get those creative juices flowing! As a family, try to recreate a scene from one of this week's Bible stories. (Either the preschool or the elementary lesson). You can use Legos, art materials, food, Playdoh/clay. You could even act it out or write a song. Be creative!

Post pictures or videos with the title of the scene you've recreated to Instagram or Facebook and tag both @MountHopeCC and @MtHopeBelmont for a chance to win.  Winners will be announced next week (April 5th) during our live online stream !

We hope to resume ministry at our locations as soon as we are able. We will continue to monitor the situation week by week and will keep you updated. You can stay in touch with Mount Hope Church by visiting our COVID-19 Update Page.
