New Playground Underway
Construction of Hope’s new playground behind the church is underway. The playground is being framed and the area is being dug out so the equipment can be installed. Once the equipment is ready, the preschool will be providing a fence and wood chips to complete the project. We look forward to seeing the new playground soon!

A Freshening Up at Hope
A sprucing up of some of Hope’s interior walls was recently completed. The fellowship hall, hallways to the kitchen, and the kitchen were all given a fresh coat of paint. Thank you to Mary S. from the church and the preschool staff for taking the time to select colors. They look terrific!
Hope’s Future Pastor Pays a Visit
It was a joy to welcome our future pastor and his wife, Rev. and Celia Esala, to Hope recently. Pastor Esala led a wonderfully interesting adult Bible study and led worship, too. We look forward to seeing a lot more of the Esalas before too long!
