Point of Hope Blessings


On Saturday, March 26, we had a blessing for the Point of Hope community and residences.  We gathered at 4:30 p.m. to enjoy a festive meal prepared by Dominic, our Director of Operations.  We are the happy recipients of his many talents.  Staff, family and friends gathered for the celebration.  After the meal, we began our procession to the new Duplex, with its official opening and a ribbon cutting ceremony.

for the new Duplex
 Father Beiting standing in the middle, Dominic had one scissors representing the organization of Father Beiting Appalachian Mission and Kaija on the other side with another scissors representing the Springtime of Hope of Ohio, now known as the Father Beiting Mission of Eastern Ohio.  After the ribbon cutting, Father Beiting blessed the new homes already occupied.  We then continued our circle around the compound stopping to bless the trailers awaiting repair and families.  After we completed the circle, the house behind Point of Hope was also blessed, and on to the Father Lou Brinker house and the Stain Glass trailer.  Last but not least, Father Beiting blessed the main center and also blessed he staff and all PoH volunteers who were present.  It was all a very wonderful God centered gathering, and very appropriate asking God to bless and heal all those who our way in these places.
