Year of Hope

A Musical Experience

How does one define hope?  In a world where there seems to be so much hopelessness, hope can feel like nothing more than a distant and elusive concept.  However, when we reflect on global issues that don’t directly affect us, we begin to see that our lives are far more blessed than we acknowledge.  We begin to see the beauty of each little blessing, the value of every day, and the promise of Christ’s resurrection, where we can now act as stewards of God's love to bring hope to the world.

On Sept 28th , 7:00 p.m., our talented young members of the community will present HOPE - A Musical Experience here in celebration of the Year of Hope and the Feast of the Canadian Martyrs. Join us for a night of beautiful music and hear God’s message of Hope.
