Hello <<First Name>>,
Sometimes someone else says perfectly what you’d like to say. Please read the following from my friend and fellow Hopester—Stacey McKay.
“Please read to the end to hear about an actual dream I had last year, which I never forgot.
This Sunday, August 30th HopeCity will begin meeting in the center of Historic downtown Mount Dora @ 10:30 a.m.
We love serving with Pastor Rick & Gina Pughe as we all attended Lake Howell High and the good Lord brought us back together these many years later.
Last year..I had a dream that we were meeting at the center of downtown Mount Dora at 5th and Donnelly. So whenever I thought about HC, I would always envision downtown.
However, when we actually started to meet the end of last year we met at the SDA church building on Hwy 441. Then our Lease ended early in March due to the shutdown. This summer we started meeting at another interim location, but I never forgot that dream of 5th and Donnelly.
When we went to see our new permanent location a few weeks ago, I walked out to the beautiful outdoor courtyard. I looked out to the parking and what did I see just beyond the Mount Dora recreation center below? You guessed it! The center of historic downtown Mount Dora....5th and Donnelly.
We are blessed to be next door to City Hall, at the Mount Dora Community Building 600+/seat auditorium which will give us room to grow...and room for our children and youth to meet too!
Come visit and worship this Sunday and enjoy time afterwards exploring the historic area, shops and restaurants. Would love to have a visit from some Lake Howell alumni.”
—Stacey McKay, Teaching Team and leader at HopeCity Church
So, all I really can add to that is “ditto” and we love John & Stacey as well as all our fellow Hopesters.
Would LOVE to see you and yours along with our Silver Hawk friends and team-mates; Robert K., Bill L., Jim R. and others. Come on man! lol
God bless & see you Sunday,
Pastor Rick
