Hope Lions Hear Hope Connexion Program

The Hope Lions welcomed Rev. Amy Perry of the Hope Connexion on Monday (3-2).  Rev. Perry is the Executive Pastor of the Outreach Center.  She noted the facility also maintains a Church of the Nazarene.  The Hope Connexion is known for their “blessing boxes” around town that feature non-perishable food for those in need.  The Hope Connexion has an addiction group that meets six days a week.  They also have a program for seniors called “Recycled Teens”.  They meet on Thursdays and those attending enjoy lunch, bingo, and a devotional.  Rev. Perry also noted they have a new Hebrew and Greek course on Tuesdays.

Rev. Perry said the Hope Connexion focuses on “3 S’s”.  These include stability, support, and strengthening community.

Following Rev. Perry’s program, the Lions Club presented the organization with a check to help them with their annual garden.  Shown presenting the check are Celia Montgomery and Dr. Don Freel.

The Hope Connexion is located on South Washington in Hope across from the old Hempstead County Courthouse.
