Our May Bible Study weekend is set for May 21-23. Our adult teacher is Bro. Paul Zilmer. As always, there will be plenty to do (or not do, if relaxing is your thing), and classes for all ages.
We have set up a Facebook event page for it. Look for and respond to the information at Mandie Smith's or Marria Hamlin's page. Or, you can email any one of us. We look forward to seeing you there!
The folks at the Good Hope Ecclesia support the Christadeolphian Meal-a-Day Fund of the Americas as one of our charities. I just wanted to post a link to the Christadelphian Meal-a-Day Fund of the Americas website / blog for an upcoming trip upon which a couple of our fellow-believers and beloved brothers are going soon to embark. We send our best wishes, along with much love and prayers to our Heavenly Father for your success!

May 15-17, 2009 *** NOT ON MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND
Our gathering has been held on Memorial Day Weekend for the past 4 years, but this year, we are making a change due to venue availability. We are aware of the drawbacks (and benefits), but thought we'd give it a go this year and see how it works out.
So we are dubbing it the "non-Memorial Day Gathering," and we are holding it on May 15-17, 2009!
Our speaker this year will be the Esteemed Bro. Dwight Kindred. (He gave me permission to call him that, and said he wouldn't let it go to his head.)
His subject will be "Who Is This Woman That You Have Given Me?"
We will be staying at the Sylamore Creek Campground (http://www.sylamorecreek.com/). We have rented a number of the cabins; campsites and RV sites are also an option. Families will be accommodated in the cabins, with a host family arranging the best comforts of home so that your stay will be most pleasant.
The creek will be enjoyable, with Bro. Kenney's Famous Fishing Contest and subsequent Famous Fish Fry, swimming, and whatever else your imagination can conjure up (I will be bringing my wetsuit, and hope not to be hooked by aggressive fly-fishermen, for example). Blanchard Springs Caverns is an enjoyable trip for a rainy afternoon.
Please register with me if you know you can come, and we will make your visit an enjoyable one!
Please pass this announcement along to those whom you feel might be interested!
With much love, expressed at the least (and most) in our shared love of Yahweh and His kingdom,
Bro. Dyron

Our Memorial Day Gathering was yet again a great success. Brother Joseph Fordham (Arlington Ecclesia) exhorted us and led a workshop with us on the subject of “Building your Spiritual House.” He also gave us a lecture on “Encouraging One Another.” Sisters Mandie Smith and Missy Hill did a fantastic organizational job, and the weekend went off without a hitch! We held our gathering at the Shepherd’s Inn Retreat Center, and have high hopes to return next year. Much love – and welcoming, open arms – from the Good Hope Christadelphian Ecclesia to fellow believers everywhere!
