Full house for cinema show
The third Hope-sponsored Ritz cinema event saw a full house! The special showing of Emma Thompson’s ‘Nanny McPhee and the Big Bang’ on Saturday 8 May proved a big hit with local children from across Belper.
For some this was thier first cinema outing trip. We were able to bless them with a great selection of delicious homemade cakes and goodies.
As always God had the day in hand and as the last child walked out of the cinema they had the very last cake. Perfect!
Many thanks to all the volunteers (pictured) who supported both on the day and in preparing a selection of lovely homemade cakes for our guests.

Hope in Action
Thanks to the wonders of YouTube we’re pleased to be able to bring you our first video on the site! It was filmed by Tim Gossling of Derby ChurchNet during Hope’s handout of hot cross buns and creme eggs in Belper on Good Friday. Cheers Tim!
Dreamscheme aims to help both young and old
More details can now be unveiled about HopeforBelper’s latest Dreamscheme project for 2010.
Most of the project will be based at Green Lane Playgroup. The team is hoping to transform a small dingy yard at the back of the building, and possibly provide a much larger play area for the children who use the facility.
As part of the Dreamscheme we are also hoping to work with the residents and staff at Ada Belfield old people’s home on nearby Field Lane.
We are hoping that the young people will be able to make some improvements to the outside garden as well as spend time with the residents.
If you have thought about volunteering this year please would contact Gareth and Helen Greenwood.
A reminder that the dates are Mon Aug 16th – Fri Aug 20th. Time approx 1pm till 7pm. Please pray that God will provide the workers.
HopeforBelper will be going into Belper School this month to do three assemblies and to invite students to come on Dreamscheme.
God has been clearly leading us through the project this year, we need to continue to bring it to him and ask that he will help us to see it through.
More hope at Eastertide
The Hope for Belper team was once again out and about in the town centre on Good Friday handing out Hot Cross Buns and Easter Eggs as a small act of kindness to passers-by. Here’s a picture of those who took part, courtesy of Tim Gossling of Derby Church Net.
