Motley Crew

Well, the flyers for school supplies has been out for a couple of weeks, a sure indication that summer is coming to a close. We have had a good summer, meeting lots of new people, lucking out with great weather on our Service Worship Sundays(service projects in the community), lots of rain for keeping humidity bearable and the flowers we planted at the Memorial school growing, and a few holiday trips for some New Hopers. At New hope we are beginning to refer to ourselves as the 'Motley Crew', and that certainly captures it! The diversity of people we are beginning to see on a regular basis, who are willing to associate themselves with New Hope is both amazing and eclectic. A few of us were reflecting on the type of regular conversations you can expect to hear at New Hope on a Sunday morning: shaving legs, having a terrible hang-over all Saturday because of Friday night, the best of music from Leonard Cohen,Frank Zappa, and Neil Young,as well as the aspirations of being a Gynaecologist (don't ask). Looking forward to more crazy conversations and fun activities in the community before hybernation sets in!
