WINNER FOR TWO YEARS IN A ROW - 2007 and 2008!!
On May 15, Point Hope United Methodist Church was notified by the Bishop's office that we had received
the Bishop's Five Star Award of Excellence. To receive the award, a church must demonstrate the following
competencies:
- Increase in Sunday School attendance and/or enhancement of Christian Education Ministry
- A "new work" that impacts growth
- Members received by profession of faith or rededication (1% increase)
- Emphasis on youth ministries
- All apportionments paid in full for 2007, or a 25% increase in apportionment payments compared to 2006
All of these were accomplished by the church during 2007. Point Hope was one of 29 winners of this award.
To put that in perspective there are 12 districts in our conference with an average of about eighty churches in each
district.
