Hi Hope Class,

If you happened to miss out, Rebecca has begun leading us in a discussion on why young people leave the church. Last week we had some great discussion and welcomed Ev to our class--great to have his insight. Thanks so much Rebecca for your leadership.

I got to take the Tompkins family dinner last week and what a joy to meet that new baby. Luke is such a sweetie. See the previous blog entry if you would like to sign up to deliver a meal. As you know, they will be moving mid June and plan on having a get together early June to say good-bye.

Also, our own Jason Schayot was pictured on the front page of the Sun this week in praise of the Sweepstakes prizes that were earned by our GHS choirs, bands and orchestra. Congratulations!!
