April All Church Email
We're excited to share Hope Central Christian Church news, events, and information to help us serve and grow in Christ together.
Spiritual Corrective Lenses
On Sunday mornings, we're continuing our sermon series in the Gospels (the biographies of Jesus), allowing Jesus to correct our understanding of spiritual truths. We invite you to read the Scriptures beforehand to get more out of the messages.
April 12 - Matthew 17:14-23; Mark 9:14-32; Luke 9:37-45
April 19 - Matthew 17:24-18:10; Mark 9:33-50; Luke 9:46-50 and 17:1-2
April 26 - Matthew 18:15-35; Luke 17:3-6
Study Guides that go along with the messages will continue to be available on www.hope-central.church (or click here: study guide). Paper copies are located in the foyer next to the bulletins.
Awana - Place of Hope Collection Drive
The Awana Club recently demonstrated what it means to live out their faith through service and generosity. Over the course of just three weeks, clubbers collected an incredible 448 items for the Place of Hope homeless shelter in St. Cloud. Each week, students were encouraged to bring a specific item—or to give as they felt led—resulting in an outpouring of support for those in need in the St Cloud Community.
This effort became more than just a collection drive; it was a hands-on lesson in compassion and faith in action. Our 5th grade students had the special opportunity to deliver the donations in person, tour the facility, and learn firsthand about the mission and impact of Place of Hope. During their visit, they witnessed both the brokenness present in our world and the powerful ways the Lord is working through the shelter’s services to bring hope and restoration.
It is our prayer that this experience leaves a lasting impression on each of these students—that it would spark something deep within their faith journey and encourage them to continue serving and giving wherever they can. We are so proud of our Awana clubbers for being the hands and feet of Jesus in such a meaningful way.

Church Calendar
Interested in what is going on at either Campus? Wondering if you can use the Fellowship Halls, classrooms or Family Life Center for an event? All events and groups are now listed on the Church Calendar on the website. From the website home page you can select “Event Calendar” and see everything that is currently scheduled to happen at both campuses in either a list form or monthly calendar.
You are also now able to request facility reservations at the bottom of the page as well. One thing to keep in mind is that by completing the form you are not guaranteed to have the space requested until you have received a confirmation email or phone call from Elisabeth or Tammy.
