Dear Subscriber First Name,

What a blessing to be together on Saturday to celebrate God’s kindness to us over 25 Years of Prayer, Justice and Mission in Hamilton. Many thanks to each one of you who could join us at the spaghetti supper or the evening program! The food was delicious. The worship was beautiful. The stories were inspiring. And the fellowship was sweet! You know it’s a good party when no one wants to go home afterward! What a blessing to celebrate together as a community. We look forward to many more years of witnessing God’s goodness and saying ‘yes’ to His invitations to partner with Him in his kingdom work in this city!

If you weren’t able to join us, you can still be part of the festivities. Megan Eveleigh, GOHOP prayer missionary, commemorated this milestone with an original art piece. Prints of this piece are available for purchase. Scroll down to learn details and how to order.

A great way to become more connected with the GOHOP community is to participate in our upcoming course called First Love or PJaM, our retreat for young adults. Scroll down to learn more about these learning opportunities.

Thank you for being part of this community. We are blessed to learn together and encourage each other as we deepen our friendship with Jesus and with one another!

Grace and peace.

Anniversary Art

Do you love to have beautiful things in your home that remind you of the places you love and inspire prayer? You can support the work of GOHOP by purchasing a beautiful 11x17” signed print of this painting for $35! It would make a beautiful edition to your walls or a meaningful Christmas gift for a friend who loves Hamilton.

GOHOP artist and prayer missionary, Megan Eveleigh created this creative mixed media watercolour painting inspired by the love for Hamilton that God has given her and the deep wells of prayer that have been cultivated in the city by GOHOP over 25 years of ministry.

Megan used to often pray over the city from one of the parks at the top of the escarpment and the overall composition is inspired by this view. She has woven into the work numerous references to Hamilton city landmarks as well as scripture and symbolic prayer imagery such as the swallow and stairway.

Pre-order your signed print today so that we can be sure to get in printed for you! Please plan to pick up your print from the prayer room. If you are unable to, we can ship it to you at an extra cost.
