At the end of June Hope Church hosted two teams from a new initiative in Holland called Youth Connections. These teams are made up of five teenagers (age 14-17) and an adult supervisor, and are effectively contracted for a week by a variety of organizations around the community doing jobs ranging from organizational work in the office to pulling weeds in the garden. Look in the Gathering Area near the couches for a picture of the youth that came to work for us this summer, and to read more about the program.
