News & Events
This past weekend ENP Partnership Leaders gathered for a meal and training for the upcoming school year. Saturday Sports safety, mentoring and blogging were some of the topics discussed. The highlight, however was the ability to hear the great things going on in each of the neighborhoods and the ability for the leaders to network with others who have the same vision for our city. It was a GREAT evening and all are looking forward to a full and exciting year ahead.

The kids near Hidalgo Elementary see the renovated building in the neighborhood as a place for them! This is Neighborhood Presence at it's best, with room for the kids to play, study, hang out and spend time with people who are investing in their lives. Last week they held a 3 Day Bible Club. The week before they had Asian Food Night . . . a great beginning for a place that is already a shinning light in the neighborhood.

These kids know that when they come to Saturday Sports, they are going to have a good time, be around people who think…

One evening several weeks ago about 30 people from a life group at The Well went to Pastor Jack's to do some work at his place: they installed new roofing, a few cabinets and replaced a couple doors.
