The Week of Hope

What is The Week of Hope?? A week to focus on our community and their needs.

“If what we are doing inside the church walls is having no effect on the streets we travelled to get there, then maybe we’re missing the point?” -Joel Houston of Hillsong United

The Week of Hope was put together by The Image Project to meet some of the needs of our community outside of the church walls. The week was started with the video documentary called iHeart, put together by Hillsong United. Throughout the week there are opportunities to volunteer at Phoenix Rescue Mission. Wednesday at The Well a Stock the Shelter concert was set up to collect donations of food, clothing, and other items needed to stock the shelves of the shelter. The night consisted of four different performances, each unique in its own way. The first was an acoustic set done by the beautiful ladies Meghan and Olivia. Next was Radio Drive By.  Then Jim did an acoustic set. And finally a local Christian hip hop group called OP.EX. What a great night full of music. During their set, OP.EX called Pastor Travis down to freestyle. Bringing him back to the days when he rapped. For those who missed it, or just want to see it again, I have included the video below.

Yes the night was full of great music and time spent with friends, but it is important to remember the reason for it: to show God’s love to our community and to meet a need for others, that we often take for granted.

Hope that all is well and everyone has a fantastic remainder of the week.
