Ladies, mark your calendars! Tickets for the Radiant Women's Conference 2025 go on sale April 1 at 7pm. This annual event, happening on June 6-7 and featuring main session speaker Elizabeth Woodson, will be held at Hope Bible Church Oakville. Tickets sell out quickly, so be ready to register!

On April 4th at 7pm, we are having a "Songs from the Valley" night of worship. This is an evening where we want to intentionally live out the call in Scripture to encourage one other, pray with one another, and bear the burdens of one another. This will be a night of lament, confession, comfort, and bringing our burdens before the Lord. If you hear this description and you're thinking "I'm not in a time of suffering or lamenting so I don't need to go to this!" We want to encourage you to still put this in your calendar and make an effort to join us on April 4th. The Bible tells us that suffering is to be expected as a part of our fallen world and so if you are not going through it right now, you will be in the future. This night of worship may help to prepare you for that season. Another reason to come even if you're not in lament right now: God has designed the body of Christ to be a true spiritual family and so if you are in a position to help bear the burdens of a brother or sister, to pray with and encourage someone who is in a valley, this is actually a way you can serve the church. And of course, if you are in a season of lament, we want you to come ready to bring your circumstances before the Lord. We're going to pray, we're going to sing, and we're going to come before the Lord asking him for answers and looking to him for comfort.

We are collecting gift items to create Pamper Hampers for Mother's Day in partnership with RISE Support Centre. Many of these moms are facing difficult situations and are rarely celebrated. Through this initiative, we want to share the love of Christ by encouraging them and reminding them that they are loved and thought of on Mother's Day. Donations will be accepted until April 25, and you can drop off your items in the designated area in the lobby. Our youth will come together on April 25th to pack the hampers and pray over them before they are delivered to the RISE Centre. Click here for a list of suggested gift items, but if you have other ideas, feel free to contribute! We kindly ask that all donated items be new and unused. Thank you for helping us bless these moms!

Stephanie Caramete is embarking on a long-term missions trip to Romania, partnering with TeachBeyond to teach English as a second language to youth at Bucharest Christian Academy. After months of prayer, she is excited to take this next step of faith and will be moving there on July 16th—obediently answering God's call to build relationships and plant seeds for the Gospel in the lives of these students, for His glory. As part of her mission, Stephanie is fundraising to cover supplies, travel, accommodation, and salary expenses. We invite you to prayerfully consider supporting her in this journey.

Come and pray with the Elders. Your presence is valued, and your prayers are appreciated. As it's written in Matthew 18:20, "For where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I among them.” Let's unite in faith and make a difference as a church family. See you there!

Here at Hope Markham, we believe firmly in the power of prayer. We invite you to join us in an ongoing effort to depend on God through unceasing prayer. Our prayer team meets to pray during the 9am and 11am service on Sundays. We are always looking for more people to join! If you feel called to serve in this way, please email prayer@hopemarkham.ca. We believe that our prayers make an impact in our church and beyond, and we look forward to praying together on Sunday mornings!

Our resource library, located upstairs, has a growing and diverse range of titles, from picture books to adult guides, catering to both children and adults. Our library is open on Sundays. For the children's safety, during service hours, the doors leading upstairs remain locked. However, after the service, adults and children are encouraged to browse the collection. We've also made it more convenient for you by putting our library catalogue on the Church Center app, allowing you to explore books from the comfort of your home and borrow them when you come on Sunday. When you're ready to borrow or return, simply head over to the Hope Kids registration desk, where our friendly team will be ready to assist you in borrowing or returning books.
