Please mark your calendars for our next board meeting on Thursday, November 19. We’ll address business approvals and officers, share Road to Hope campaign updates, and move into committee breakouts to prepare for 2027. Please come ready to contribute ideas and discuss your committee’s priorities for the coming year.

As you continue connecting others with our Road to Hope vision, we have three opportunities for your connections to learn more:

Monday, November 16, 6–7 p.m. at HHP: Reception hosted by Jerry.

Thursday, November 19, 7–8 p.m. at HHP: Reception following our board meeting, hosted by Danny and me.

Saturday, December 5, 1–2 p.m. at 2400 N. Coulter: An opportunity to see the prospective facility following our Board Advance.

Please reach out to the contacts on your connector sheets and extend a personal invitation. These gatherings offer a chance to hear the vision and ask questions before we move into the campaign’s public phase.

As we enter the final weeks of the year, I’m reminded that every invitation, introduction, and act of service can open a door to hope for someone who is grieving. This season can be especially difficult for the families we serve, and your commitment helps remind them they do not have to walk alone. Let’s finish the year with faith, purpose, and confidence in the work God has placed before us.

Thank you for the time, relationships, and leadership you share with HHP. I’m grateful to serve alongside you and look forward to all that lies ahead. See you November 19!
