Urban Hope 2010 ~ Overview


Report from Jason Holt, Director of Church Ministry at Urban Hope, reports on Mid-Atlantic District weekend.

"Last weekend (April 24) the Mid-Atlantic District brought 75 people to Urban Hope for the annual block party. Four streets were blocked off to have games for kids. The "cultivating event" was designed to make contacts with people in the community and there was a great response. 439 people registered, which means there were around 600 in attendance, if not more! The ministry team did a great job helping as well as many others from our church - the extra block of Tioga and blocks of Ella St. were very helpful with the large crowd. Praise God for all the neighbors who came through with signatures and the police department's positive response to our request to close the street. We had 92 kids at Kingdom Kids today and were able to invite many new kids whose names we got from the block party yesterday."

Note: we plan to hear a report on 5/16/2010 during both services.
