As Pastor Steve said at the recent Annual Meeting. It's time to git-r-done! And Hope, we’re in a position now to make that happen.

Here's the good news: $1,186,412 has been collected for EH. So we're closing in on the "pledged" total of $1.64 million. That means most of the families who pledged support are being faithful in meeting their pledges.

More good news: Following the presentation back in November, six new families roped in with EH. Those six families pledged approximately $40,000 more in support. Awesome!

Now, we need the rest of you who God is calling, to be obedient and join the families making EH happen. We need your help in order to stretch out toward the SUMMIT Goal of $3 million! NOW’s the time!

Take that first step of obedience and pray. Ask God to show you how EH will serve His Kingdom. Ask Him to reveal how you should be involved. Ask for His inspiration.

We need everyone who believes in Hope and its goals to join the trek. Right now, a very small percentage of Hope families are the ones making ALL this happen. Imagine where we could be if everyone obediently pulled their share of the load.

To join in and help bring the EH vision closer to reality, contact the church office!

If you are not familiar with Exp. Hope and its goals, you can learn all about it by either picking up an information packet at the church office, or speaking with a member of the Hope Leadership Team.

Exodus 25:1-2, 8 tells us: The Lord said to Moses, “Tell the Israelites to bring me an offering. You are to receive the offering for me from each man whose heart prompts him to give. ... Then have them make a sanctuary for me, and I will dwell among them.”
