SUMMARY:ADVENTure into Christmas
DESCRIPTION:The Advent season invites us to step away from what can easily become a hurried and frenzied season of shopping\, parties\, activities\, and endless to-do lists—and instead slow down\, be still\, and remember the true meaning of Christmas: the birth of Jesus Christ\, our Savior. \nJoin House of Hope for a special Jesse Tree Advent Seminar\, where you’ll create your own Jesse Tree Advent Ornament Kit and receive an accompanying 25-day devotional designed to help you and your family intentionally walk through the story of Scripture together this Christmas season. \nThe Jesse Tree tells the story of God’s faithfulness from Creation to the birth of Christ. Each day leading up to Christmas\, your family will read a Bible story\, spend time talking and praying together\, and add a meaningful ornament to your tree. As the ornaments are added\, you’ll begin to see the incredible story of God’s plan of redemption unfold—ultimately pointing us to Jesus. \nThis isn’t just another Christmas activity to add to your schedule. Our desire is to help you create intentional moments with your family that turn your hearts toward Christ and build meaningful traditions and memories that can last for generations. \nEach Jesse Tree Kit includes: \n• 25 keepsake ornaments — These aren’t paper ornaments! Each day includes a tangible item or ornament—such as an apple\, stars\, a shepherd’s hook\, or a crown—that corresponds with that day’s Bible passage and story. \n• A 25-day Advent devotional — Beginning with Creation and journeying through Scripture to the birth of Jesus\, each day includes a Bible story\, discussion questions\, prayer\, and optional activities designed to help your family engage with God’s Word together. \nOur hope is to equip you with a simple\, meaningful way to slow down during Advent and intentionally disciple your children through the story of Scripture. \nChristmas doesn’t have to be defined by hurry. \nCome create something your family can use year after year as you prepare your hearts for Christmas\, celebrate the incredible story of God’s redemption\, and remember together that Jesus is the reason we celebrate. \nLet’s put CHRIST back into CHRISTmas and make this Advent season one your family will remember for years to come. \nFacilitator: Tracy Berta \nDate: Sunday\, November 15th   \nTime: 2:00 PM – 4:00 PM \nCost: $40 \nREGISTER HERE! \n  \n

SUMMARY:Forgiving What You Can't Forget
DESCRIPTION:Do you desire to finally move forward from the hurt\, betrayal\, or painful experiences that continue to impact your life? \nJoin House of Hope for our fall class\, Forgiving What You Can’t Forget\, based on the book by Lysa TerKeurst. Together\, we’ll bring our personal hurts into the light of biblical truth\, letting Scripture shape how we understand forgiveness\, healing\, and grace. \nThroughout this class\, we’ll discover that forgiveness is often a daily choice and a gradual process—not an instant fix\, forgetting what happened\, or excusing someone’s harmful behavior. \nTogether\, we’ll learn how to: \n• Make the choice to forgive while honestly working through difficult emotions\n• Release unresolved hurt\, betrayal\, and bitterness\n• Recognize and disempower emotional triggers connected to past pain\n• Understand forgiveness through the lens of Scripture\n• Stop allowing yesterday’s wounds to control today\n• Find greater freedom and peace as we surrender our pain to God \nYou may not be able to change what happened to you\, but through Christ\, your past does not have to control your present. \nCome ready to learn\, process\, and discover what it looks like to walk in forgiveness and freedom—one day at a time. \nFacilitator: Kim WallaceDates: Thursdays\, October 8th – November 19thTime: 6:00 PM – 8:00 PMTuition: $40 (includes study materials) \nREGISTER HERE \n
