Hope Chapel, a local church, was the victim of an appalling act of vandalism recently and the insurance payment fell far short of what’s needed to repair the damage. The church is having a volunteer effort this Saturday at 9am to repaint the church. Free Keene frequently has news about what we are against. This is a chance to show what we are for. We’re for peaceful coexistence in a pluralist society where people with all different points of view can work together voluntarily for common goals and seek peaceful resolution of their differences. Whether you yourself are a Christian shouldn’t matter. I’m not. This church is a peaceful voluntary organization and they didn’t deserve this. It’s times like this when we have an opportunity to pull together and get to know our neighbors.
We’re expecting anywhere from a dozen to several dozen volunteers on behalf of Free Keene and I’d like to encourage our readers to come assist if you can. There will be supplies and refreshments on hand but if you have any tools that you think might come in handy, feel free to bring them. We are also encouraging donations to help replenish the funds that the church is having to deplete on supplies.
Hope to see you there!
