Call For Musicians

Serving Opportunity

Are you a musician? We know there may be some of you who play instruments that aren't in the typical band you see on Sunday mornings. Maybe you play the violin, saxophone, trumpet, harp, accordion, banjo, harmonica - any instrument! If this is you and you would be interested in having a conversation about how you could be involved in the music ministry at church, we want to invite you to reach out to worship@hopemarkham.ca and just share a bit about yourself and the instrument you play. We believe that music is a gift from God that unites cultures, languages, styles, and genres and there may be a place for you to use that gift or skill here at our church. We look forward to hearing from you!

Support Our TCM Summer Interns

Deya Esteban and Frank Zhong are going on mission as summer interns with Toronto City Mission. Their mission is to build meaningful relationships with children affected by gun and gang violence, poverty, fatherlessness, and more. They aim to plant seeds of the gospel in these children's lives through word and deed, allowing God to do the work in their hearts that only He can do. As part of their internship, they are fundraising to support activity supplies, field trips, a portion of their salaries, and other camp-related needs. Please consider contributing to their mission through this donation link.

Camp week is from July 22-26, and we need the house of the Lord to be praying!

  • Please pray that God would work in the hearts of the youth attending -- for the salvation of campers who have not placed their faith in Christ, and for those who are saved to be matured spiritually.
  • Pray for strength, endurance, patience, love, and spiritual vitality for those who are serving.
  • Pray for spiritual protection, good health, and good weather for everyone.

Thank you for praying, church!

Hope Kids Library & Online Catalog

Open every Sunday after service

Our Hope Kids resource library, located upstairs next to the nursing room, has a growing and diverse range of titles, from picture books to parenting guides, catering to both children and parents. Our library is open on Sundays. For security reasons, during service hours, the doors to the kids' area remain locked. However, after the service, parents and children are encouraged to browse the collection freely. We've also made it more convenient for you by putting our library catalog 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.

What is Child Dedication?
  1. As a Christian parent, by dedicating your child to the Lord, you are acknowledging your need for God in your family. You are inviting God to be active in your family life, submitting your own desires for your child to God’s desires, and making a commitment to raise your child in God’s way. Parents are acknowledging that we believe that God must be a part of our family life if it is to be good and healthy. (Psalm 127:1)
  2. Parents are acknowledging that their child is a gift from God and they are earthly stewards of the life God has placed in their home. (Psalm 127:3-5)
  3. Parents are publicly declaring their intention to raise their child in such a way that they are given an opportunity to know God and to establish a personal relationship with Christ. Parents’ actions in raising their children are important to God. We have a responsibility as followers of Christ to raise our children in a way that will please the Lord.  The responsibilities the Lord has entrusted to parents include continuously praying for their children, instructing them in the way of the Lord, setting a godly example, and disciplining them as the Lord would discipline us. As parents, you are only able to do these things through Christ’s strength. (Deuteronomy 6:4-9, Ephesians 6:4)
  4. Parents are affirming their total dependence upon the Lord. (John 15:5)
  5. Parents are asking family, friends and the church community to prayerfully support and hold them accountable to these commitments. (Hebrews 10:24-25)
  6. Parents are following the Scriptural example of dedicating children to the Lord given in 1 Samuel 1:11, 26-28, where Hannah vowed to dedicate her child to the Lord if He would grant her one. The Lord honored her request and she kept her vow, dedicating Samuel to the Lord. (1 Samuel 1:11 )
