WOW!
Hope is hopping during Word on Wednesday activities!
Many activities happen on Wednesday evenings during the school year. Dinner is served anytime between 5:15 and 6:45pm in the family center. In our busy world, the many families that participate in our WOW program activities appreciate our meal coordinator, Lisa Engels, providing a hearty meal so they don't have to cook or do the dishes! For a small donation, you can enjoy a meal and some good conversation. Throughout the evening, you may also participate in choir practice, liturgical dance group, ministry meetings and other activities.
