Dedication of Hope Community

Bishop Sigman was at Hope Community Church for the dedication of the new worship center on Clausville Rd in Fogelsville Sunday afternoon Sept 11th. Rev. Daneker spoke of the history of some of the people who helped make this possible. He noted that the building is not the church. The people are the church. The building is a modern, technologically trim tool with which to bring others to know the saving grace.
The Bishop noted the effort and the “vision” and cautioned not to let that be the end but the beginning. Caleb and Joshua came back from Canaan and knew with God’s help they could conquer the land. Continue on with the work in the community with God’s guidance.
