Rincon heard from Curt & Nancy Ackley, (Curt was their recent Bridge Pastor), who recently relocated to Tennessee. They found a church there that has been helping migrants that get off the bus and either stay or transfer somewhere else. Nancy told the church, Hey! We were part of the volunteers that helped get them ON the bus! Small world, working together to help those in need.

Church of the Red Rocks engaged the wonderful and talented 7th and 8th graders in Sedona to work on a logo for Hope House. The committee took their ideas and asked one of their marketing team members to design a logo -and we now have one! It beautifully incorporates some of the students’ major themes and the stunning colors of Sedona. With this done, we are able to move forward with our marketing materials.
