ONLINE

Any day during Hope Week (or hey, why not every day during Hope Week), we encourage you to engage in a Random Act of HOPE.

Here are just a few ideas to get you started.

Support Local Business in your area. Think Mom and Pop! What connection did you make? Post a pic and a quick note on Be Hope Family Facebook Page.

Make cards/sidwalk chalk for local nursing home/assisted living residents. Have you brought a smile to someone today? Post a pic and a quick note on Be Hope Family Facebook Page.

Find a park near you and make it shine! Take the family and clean up! Don’t forget to take pictures, share on facebook family page and write about the impact it made in your community and on you. Be sure to wear some Be Hope SWAG if you have it!

Engage with the people who keep your community safe and educated. Take the time to do something nice for the first responders/nurses near you or you can write a welcome back note and drop it off at your local school when the teachers return. Don’t forget to snap a pic, post it to the Be Hope Family Facebook Group and write a quick note about your experience bringing Be Hope Online to your local community.

Grab some extra cans and non-perishables to fill up “little pantries” or food banks near you. Spread the word, grab your friends, grab some cans and be sure to take a pic and share it on the Be Hope Family Facebook Page! We want to know where Be Hope Online Hope Week is reaching!

Bring your BOLD prayers to Be Hope Online and pray with Lead Pastor, Brad, and Online Campus Pastor, Sydney.

Let’s BUILD our Be Hope Online Community! Invite someone to Be Hope Church Online! This can be a friend, someone you just met or someone you got your coffee from! The invites are endless! Be BOLD!

Every day during Hope Week we encourage you to engage in the Random Acts of HOPE generator!
