Households of Prayer

Many folks have been asking about HOPs, which has for the most part , lost the attention of the Cathedral over the last few years, as we focused on other areas of ministry.   Also, with the development of home bible study groups, it was not sure how HOPs and Home Bible Groups would co-exist, as they would often compete with each other for involvment and comittment.

However, the good news is, it seems we’ve finally arrived at a understanding of how to move forward by merging the two home group formats, but still under the heading of Households of Prayer.

We plan to re-promote the organization of HOPs, using the traditional HOP format, but breaking the format for when we are running special programs, such as the home bible studies on finance and fellowship.   The home groups would meet weekly, except for “First Wednesday” week, when everyone would be asked to come out and prayer at Cathedral (once per month), or during the summer months when groups could take a break from meeting weekly, but meet once per month just for fellowship and fun.   This would be important to keep the momentum going.
