At Hope College, we have many reasons to be thankful, for we are abundantly blessed. Our campus community counts you among our many blessings.
 
Thank you for your commitment to Hope College's inspiring mission. Over the last year, you have supported our students, contributed to scholarship funds, participated in our programs, and served in communities at home and abroad. And, you have upheld our college in your prayers.  

In a world that cries out for grace and healing, our name — Hope — has never been more poignant. Kelly and I are deeply grateful for all who are bringing Hope to others, every day:

• Our staff and faculty, who care so deeply for the intellectual and spiritual development of our students;
• Our parents and families, who enrich our lives with enthusiasm, dedication and support; 
• Our alumni and supporters, who carry forward our rich tradition and strengthen us for the future.

On this celebration of thanks, we recall the words of Psalm 95:2: Let us come into his presence with thanksgiving; let us make a joyful noise to him with songs of praise!
 
May this season be a time of joy for you and your family.

Spera in Deo,
John
