Sunday School
.. is every Sunday but we kick off a new year each September. We are excited to be offering a one room Sunday school for children ages 3 thru 5th grade. Please make sure you fill out an updated registration form for the 2019/2020 year. The children will work together on some projects and some will be coordinated to be more age specific. This class will give the kids and opportunity to make friends and grow together as their own unique fellowship group!
Phusion/ Youth Sunday School
We are designing a new youth program for youth from 6th to 12th grade. Phusion will start in September with a variety of special programs from a group breakfast and mission projects. We are accepting applications for a youth leader and hope to have that person within the next few months. The Board of Trustees prefers to hire individuals that are not church members for paid positions. We are always looking for volunteers that are committed and work well with youth. Once we hire our new staff person the group will include faith discussions along with special events. The youth of Hope Church are a committed and welcoming group of youth. Visitors are always welcomed!

MARCH 4TH ~ Baldwin Ensemble: String Duo, Melody Wootton and Andrew Wu; watch your bulletins for all the details.
MARCH 11TH ~ The Gentlemen Songsters began in 1931 as the Chevrolet Glee Club of Detroit. It was founded by Dave Redwood, a general foreman at the Chevrolet-Detroit Forge Plant who thought that men needed to do something more than work all day.

MARCH 18TH ~ POSTPONED Our very own accomplished organist and pianist Patrick Baker will be providing an evening of music. Once again, Patrick will be playing a variety of music to help lift our spirits and chase away the winter blues.
MARCH 25TH ~ POSTPONED The North Oakland Dixieland Band is a musical group specializing in both "Traditional Jazz" and Swing music from the years 1900 to 1960. We are located in Lake Orion, Michigan and will travel throughout the state to perform. The band is composed of a four-horn front line consisting of Clarinet, Cornet, Tenor Sax and Trombone. Our rhythm Section includes Piano, Tuba, Banjo, Guitar and Drums. This combination of instruments, plus our musicians’ ability to double on various instruments gives us the opportunity to perform various styles of music and vocals from the Traditional Jazz era.
April 1ST: Taize Service. POSTPONED This Taize service was created by and will be led by our Music Director Deborah Frontczak in conjunction with the music ministry here at Hope UCC.See our March Newsletter for additional information on Taize Services.
