day they were born, and many times, by giving gifts.  When a loved one

passes away, one of the hardest moments is the first birthday that goes

by without them around.  We all want those precious to us to stay with

us.  Since Hope is a church made up of people who are dear to us, some

of this carries over.  We talked last week about our mission – the

unique calling of God on our fellowship.  This week, we want to look at

what Hope looks like ‘down the road’.  Specifically, we want to take

some time and thing about being intentional so that our church will keep

serving and sharing long after we are unable to keep doing it

ourselves.  Can we pass on God’s work to others and see God do greater

things year after year after year?
