Greater Hope Family Honorees

No matter how advanced we become, let us not forget the foundation that was laid for us. Their intelligence, and their way of getting things done may seem less than ideal to our more advanced thinking; but it is because of them, and the grace of God, that we are where we are with greater Hope. Though perfection will continue to elude us, they were and we are-all stakeholders in continually striving to move Greater Hope forward.
