To our neighbors at Hope Church,
Greetings! We are so grateful for your Church and your impact and light in our neighborhood! We have been profoundly thankful for your support in many forms. Your congregation’s partnership with WSN has come through your many volunteers of all ages, through financial support, and the prayers you regularly offer for the blessing of the homes and blocks around your church. We are constantly grateful for the open doors of Hope for our office space, garden lot, and access to office facilities.
Your remarkable generosity is such a gift to us. Through your sharing–along with that of the other churches, individuals, and businesses that participate in the life of our neighborhood–we are thrilled to see new friendships formed, vegetables grown and meals shared, and joys and concerns voiced in what is day-by-day becoming a stronger community!
We also know that there is more work to be done, and we look forward to continuing to grow as Washington School Neighbors! We hope that you have felt your participation to be meaningful and that you will continue to join with us in the pursuit of lasting, genuine community in the core of Holland.
