Hope Together : HOPE News - 17th June 2021

Delay is not denial

It’s wonderful to have the summer weather and to be able to get away or plan to have a break.

Yet we’ve all heard the announcements about the delay to the world opening up until July 19th.

But we’re holding on! We need deep roots to survive challenging times – roots in God.

In Psalm 1 we’re reminded that we need to be rooted like a tree by a stream of water. That water is God’s Word. By meditating on it day and night we will find strength in times of drought – or difficulty. Even the changes that are good can cause us stress and anxiety.

Find out about the impact of lockdown easing.

Listen to our conversation with Will van de Hart.

Easing out of lockdown

We can't deny it's been a tough season for most, we've been talking to Revd Will Van Der Hart, Coach and Director of the Mind and Soul Foundation, about maintaining our wellbeing as we remain in the ‘are we, aren’t we?’ phase of exiting lockdown. Will has done a fantastic job explaining ways to emotional health as we await the full ease of restrictions and how even the anticipation can have a negative impact!

WILL IN CONVERSATION

July will be WILD

It's the final countdown. There are only a couple of weeks left to apply for our fantastic student missional opportunity. If you want to be equipped to get out into the mission field all over the UK, grow in leadership, take your prayer life to another level and make new friends, come and be part of Wild Hope this summer.
If you know an 18-25-year-old who would enjoy this, sponsor them to join at wildhopeuk.com.

We're going Platinum

The Platinum Jubilee weekend (a four-day bank holiday) is a little less than a year away and the nation is gearing up to celebrate the Queen’s 70 years of service next June. Watch this space, as HOPE Together is working with lots of partners to help your church be at the centre of community celebrations. Pentecost weekend is the final celebration after the ten days of prayer hosted by Thy Kingdom Come and we’re partnering with them to make it the best Platinum Jubilee Pentecost party season ever!

The Talking Toddlers webinar is coming up on June 25 at 10am. It's your chance to come and be affirmed in your mission, get ideas from the community and feel heard by people who do similar things. Sign up now and we'll see you there. Watch Sammy's reasons why you should attend.

SAMMY'S THREE REASONS

School’s out soon and young people will be back socialising with friends, family and experiencing new things. It’s a great time to think about their influence. Amplify is a surefire way to strengthen their faith and help them take up opportunities to share with their peers.
