I'm pleased to announce the launch of the website for the Village of Hope in Zimbabwe. Our church
is partners with the work being done in Zimbabwe and Pastor Darren donated his skills as a web developer to design and host their website. This will provide a new tool for Gord and Anita Cooledge to promote the Village of Hope and communicate with current and potential supporters about what's happening at the Village. Check it out at

CNN reports on the worsening economic crisis in Zimbabwe. Inflation is officially pegged at 4500% by the Zimbabwe government but outside sources put it closer to double that. After being in Zimbabwe I certainly believe it's the latter. Keep praying for the country...things are getting worse every day.

“Spread the News and Rejoice!” Special Service
1 Jul, 2007

On Sunday, July 1st we will be having a special service called “Spread the News and Rejoice!” The focus of the service is testifying to the work of God in our lives and His incredible blessing. We will be having an “open mic” format where we will encourage anyone who would like to share up to 2 minutes max (so as many people as possible can get a turn) about something great that God has done in their life.
This is your opportunity to give God glory and praise His name. You don’t have to say a lot - even a single sentence saying thank-you is great! We will also sing praise and worship choruses in between testimonies. Mark this date on your calendar and come prepared to bless God with our thanks and our praise and also encourage each other with the stories of God’s work in our midst!

This past Sunday Pastor Nancy announced her resignation as our Associate Pastor. We are saddened to see her go but are trusting that God is leading her to the place where He wants her to serve.
Pastor Nancy served HPC faithfully for 4 years and she will be greatly missed!
An excerpt from her address to the congregation:
Life is never a static thing, we move from experience to experience as the Lord directs. Change is seldom easy for any of us, however if our desire is to serve the Lord wherever and whenever, we must be ready to change and

As part of our arrangements with British Airways, the Zimbabwe 2007 team is able to pack two extra bags per team member and each bag can weigh 50lbs. This means we can take an extra 400lbs of stuff with us when we go to Zimbabwe! This is a blessing because the cost to ship things to Zimbabwe is fairly expensive. We'd like to make the best use of this opportunity as possible and so we've collaborated with the Directors of the Village of Hope, Gord and Anita Cooledge, to come up with a list of items that could be used
