When you ask "How Are You" - Do You Mean It?

When my husband and I came to the US, we found that alot of "Americans" were very "fast" people - I guess we came from a different culture and a different way of doing things... You can say that at the tender age of 21 and 23, we were very naive. We really thought - what we thought were "friends" really asked, "How are you?" and they meant it.... Nope.... It's just an American way of greeting. Right after that, they do not care for an answer and soon we learnt to be "fast" ourselves..... Never really cared for an answer. "Great..... How about you?" We learnt that that's the right response. For years, my dear husband and I never really had "real, honest" friends who cared about people as people.

This is not a bashful post. It is not intended to be this way. But read on....
Until we found Hope - our home church..... It's very amazing, isnt it? Hope Fellowship is our church - we were new believers 4 years ago. Hope is our home and Hope is where we saw people really caring for one another...

To the congregation of Hope Fellowship of Frisco, Texas:

Thanks for being the people we can count on. I know that I feel it's an honor when people tell me that they can see the love of Jesus shines through me... Now, I am passing the honor over to you. I can feel the love of Jesus out-pouring over you..... Make it a great day for our Lord, my friends!!!

If you are church-shopping, do stop at Hope. Come by the Coffee Bar area to say "Hi".... I am there most of the time. We have 4 services (from Saturday evenings at 6:00pm and Sunday services from 8:30am, 10:00am and 11:30am). Youth activities and Adult classes on Wednesday nights too.....

(Between Preston Road and Hillcrest off of Rolater)

Senior Pastor:
John McKinzie



John is such a cool pastor. He started Hope Fellowship in 2001. John is married to Melissa and has 4 beautiful children. When you look into his eyes, you see that he really cares. I have never seen such real caring eyes

Hope Fellowship is a non-denominational church and our worship service rocks!!! At Hope, we believe that worship is more than a song. It is the way we live and the way we treat people. Because people are very important to God, it becomes important to us too....
