Welcome home to HOPE Church!
1st service in new building & location.
Pastor Paul & Carol along with so many angels; church members, staff, volunteers, friends, family, & strangers have come together to bring this dream to fruition.
So glad that Abbie, Mike, Ellie & I could attend dedication day and enjoy the singing, message, food and visiting.
Our nephew, David leads the worship band with guitar & singing along with other leaders, Jesse, Danielle & Brian (cousin).
It was a great turnout & what a beautiful building! My brother-in-law Paul gave a great message about "waiting" and about "angels" (here on earth). In short... do not wait! And be someone's angel...today! :-) Paul thanked so many who came together for this enormous task of dreaming about HOPE church, purchasing land, designing, building, working, & delivering God's message to the people. Paul (head pastor) and HOPE church have been operating out of a school gymnasium for over 6 years.
Bonus on this pretty day was hanging out with great-niece, Ellie. This little sweetie is just too cute!
Speaking of angels...it was one year ago that my brother, Rod passed away. Been thinking about him more this week but I think of him often. Missing my big brother.

And a family photo from 1999 which includes all my siblings, spouses, my mom & my dad as well. Love to my angels... Dad & Rod
Your brother-in-law and sister saw their dreams come true...God Bless Hope church. Meeting your brother was a wonderful experience...thinking of you and Rod's entire family! Ellie is adorable.
