Dear Hope Friends,

The EBs are home after a great birthday celebration for our 8 year old at a waterpark in the Dells. She said it was her favorite birthday of all time -- and we agree that 8 is a perfect year for a birthday. You're old enough to go on all the big slides and young enough you don't care if you look cool doing it! Which is, of course, a great metaphor for how complicated life becomes.

Before all that complicated life, we want our kids to know how much they are loved. Every Sunday, Hope Kids (at 9:30 & 11) does that. And one special week of the year, this year called Quest VBS! It is August 4th - August 7th 6:00-8:00 pm.

Below you see a volunteer sign up form AND a registration form. Spread that word that we have an excellent and growing children's ministry at Hope Church!

Blessings, Jennie
P.S. Tomorrow in worship we'll conclude our Restoring Faith series by claiming "A Faith that Heals a Hurting World"
