China’s size and distance was
magnetic—at least for men

view of the Gospel to go.

Scriptures’
transforming power
For God’s glory and by the power of the
Spirit, Hampton Park exists to proclaim
and to display to all people everywhere
the good news that God is calling out a
people for His name from every nation,
kindred, and tongue through the
redemptive work of the only Savior,
the Lord Jesus Christ.
Reach-In, a new ministry, begins
with its first meeting this Tuesday
evening from 6:00 to 8:00.
Reach-In’s purpose is to provide
support to caregivers and the family
member needing care through
education, encouragement and
practical help, but it will be more
than a service to our people.
Reach-In will offer everyone in
our church family an opportunity to
be involved in serving others. This
ministry can encompass all ages and
groups – from teens and singles,
young marrieds and homeschoolers,
to retirees.
Reach-In will be led by Pam
Reekie, who is training to be an
official facilitator, and Mary Lee, a
dementia care specialist. The first
hour of each meeting will generally
be educational, and the second
hour will include discussion and
encouragement.
Caregivers and all others who want
to know more about the needs and
how they can serve are encouraged
to come to the April 14 meeting.
