May 30 is our 3rd and final retreat in the Faith Hope Love series.  So naturally the topic is ... love!  We expect the Lord to speak to us about at topic so close to His heart - after all, John writes in his epistle that "God is love"!  Nowhere in scripture does it say "God is faith" or "God is hope" ... so perhaps that is why "the greatest of these is love."  Don't miss it!

Brie Tschoepe will be speaking, and has requested that if you are coming you do some homework to prepare.  On March 8, Jayson Knox gave a sermon at Hope Chapel entitled "The Purposes of God," during which he talked about love.  Brie would like us all to watch / listen to that sermon before next Saturday.  You can find it as the Teaching of the Week on our website.

Thank you!

Mark your calendars for Friday, April 24.  We will have a special Open Table with guest Ting Mei.  Ting is a graduate student at Goettingen University in Germany, who is visiting Wright & Dori Doyle in College Station.  She is in the process of writing a masters thesis on an American missionary to China.

We will have a dinner, open to all, to get to know her better.  We'll hear from her about her work, and spend time praying with her.

Don't miss this special opportunity to see Ting!  

(And, bonus, also see Wright & Dori again :-)
