When did you start attending Hope Church?

We started to attend Hope Free Church on a regular basis about April 2004.

What are your Motivations in life?  

I like to help with needs of people.  I enjoy any good project that has a benefit. My problem is that I tend to over commit and take on too many things.

Why are you interested in coming to church?

I grew up in a Christian home and we were expected to attend church.  When I was able to make my own choices, I decided that I liked being with people that believed as I did.  I also realize that I need to around others and I love to learn from others what they have learned about God.  This encourages me to learn more about Him, and grow in my personal ralationship.

Do you have a plan for life with God?

I am not sure what God has in store for my life, I know that I want a relationship with my Heavenly Father, simply because I need Him and I love Him.  And He loves us enough to have given us Jesus.

What kind of songs/worship music do you like?

I appreciate all kinds of music,   Worship, Hymns, Classical, joyous. I like to listen to Spirit 92.9 because of the variety.   If the music has a good message, I appreciate it.  I do not really like the songs that have few words and are repetitive.

What is your favorite praise, and how has it marked your life?  

My favorite way to praise is to go out in the woods or someplace by water.  I feel peace; I am in awe of the beauty and am amazed at how everything fits together so well.  The creator did a miraculous job in all he has made.

What is the message that you give the world if you had a big microphone to speak to people?  

When Jesus spoke to the multitudes the disciples assisted him in feeding the people.  I think that God did not give me the gift of speaking to a group of people.  Therefore, I believe that my gift is not handling a microphone, but it is best used holding a serving spoon.  :)

Is there any biblical text that would give the world at Christmas?

Luke 8 – 20.   God specifically told shepherds about the Baby Jesus.   He will use ordinary people, we need to be willing and ready.

The dream of my life is……..I love to go places and see things,  I would like to travel.  Right now, however, I would like our girls to grow up with a solid relationship with Jesus Christ.
