Covid-19 Updates

A message from Senior Pastor Rufus Smith regarding the LIMITED REOPENING OF ‘IN-PERSON’ WORSHIP at Hope Church:

Because Phase II has been extended by our Mayors and our Health Department, we also are extending our reopening date until sometime in the month of July.

The good news is we WILL begin reopening and allowing small groups to meet in some outside spaces and our larger, inside spaces soon. Stay tuned for more information and instructions on this...

We will continue to offer online-worship and believe this is still the BEST option.
And for those without underlying medical conditions, nor caring for vulnerable family, the following is under consideration.

Pastor Rufus described the process as "quick & safe, with minor discomfort — like the charge of a mosquito” ( not the charge of an elephant 😊)" He'll even prove how easy it is in the video below!

WHAT A BLESSING!

Our AMAZING Kitchen Ministry & College Ministry Staff and Volunteers have fed 1,240 local doctors, nurses, hospital & front line workers from Baptist East, Methodist Germantown, Baptist Call Center, DCS and Regional One! They have also made deliveries of essential items to 110 households and traveled over 300 miles in the process!

Need a delivery?

If you need a delivery—whether food, medicine or basic supplies—we want to help. Take a minute and complete the request form by clicking the link below.

Delivery Request Form

Make a mask. Make a difference!

St. Francis Hospital reached out to the Chamber of Commerce to ask if local churches would be willing to help them start to build a supply of masks that will either be used to go over the medical grade mask to prolong the use of them, or they will be used for administration employees and other staff that are not on the “front line”. If you want to help in this effort we would love to have you! There are several ways to help, whether you can sew or not! Fill out the form below and let us know how you want to get plugged in! Once your form is received, one of the project coordinators will be in touch via email. Watch the video by clicking the link below for instructions on how to make the mask. NOTE: All supplies will be provided and all sewing will be one in the comfort of your own home.
