hope 2008 – hull

If you attended the Hope 08 launch at Methodist Central Hall almost a fortnight ago we hope that you enjoyed it and found it helpful and inspirational. We were delighted with the number of churches in the area that were represented at the event and we believe that there is great enthusiasm to move ahead with projects that will spread the gospel through word and action.

If you were unable to attend the launch we hope that your church will still wish to be involved. The main message of the evening was that doing just one new thing well can make a huge difference in our locality. The stories that we heard and the information that was given highlighted this theme. Some small churches are already making a big impact in their community.

We wish to publicise Hope 08 around the area as much as possible. 40 banners were taken away from the launch event to place outside churches (if you took one please put it up as soon as possible!). We have 20 more available. The initial banner is free and will be in place up to Easter. There will be three more banners over the course of the year that reflect the changing national themes of Hope 08 as the year unfolds. These will cost £40 each and we hope that churches will sign up for the banners so that the Hope 08 theme remains in people’s minds throughout the year. If you would like one of the initial banners please collect it from the Bible Outlet, 67 Wright Street, Hull or phone John Morris (07504239664), who will arrange for one to be delivered to you. There are also car stickers available.

Please also check the Google Calendar which has been updated to reflect the events we know about in the local area associated with Hope 2008. If you are hosting an event not shown please get in touch and we will add it to the calendar.
