My home church. At least the one I am a member of. A traditional service, but the pastor has got some flair. Usually a good sermon, always some great music. And some wonderful and cool people go there, including my family, a bunch of Hope College professors and students, a couple of doctors, and even some very successful Presidents:

• The President of Hope College
• The President of Haworth Corporation
• The President of ODL
• The President of Tulip Time for 1998/1999 (my father, THE Real Estate Dude, Gary P. Beckman)

The church IS the people. And Hope Church has got a bunch of great people. They are and always have been a great big family to me. From finding the big chocolate egg at the Passover meal in Commons I, to me hiding it, they've been supporting me (and my parents!) since Day 13 (my first day to church I think). THANKS HOPE CHURCH!

Now Go, spread the word of God, and go to Hope Church on your way!
