Actually, it's not big news, but we thought we should clarify a couple of points that came up in the wonderful article the Red Deer Advocate wrote about our friends at Hope Mission and their dream for a new north end community centre.

As Kelly Row so clearly stated when mentioning our church's involvement with possible plans, we're "just talking." Rob, Jen and Ben met once with some of the key leaders from Hope Mission, and both sides thought it was a conversation worth pursuing without making any commitments either way. Our staff team will be making a trip to Edmonton later this month to visit their youth centre and meet with their leadership team to continue the conversation. At this point, we are still just talking, and there are a number of unanswered questions on both sides, but having a potential partner to work with to develop our existing building and enhance how we serve our community is exciting.

Our staff team will provide a report to council following this visit, who will share that information with the church as a whole at our congregational meeting on March 12. 

We look forward to sharing more information with you in March and would encourage and welcome prayers regarding this possible development.
