Welcome 

to HOPE Strathaven, the site for the united churches in the town working together on a number of projects. Here we bring you news of upcoming events - and an opportunity to look back at things that have taken place. HOPE was established nationally in 2008 as an umbrella organistaion for all churches in the nation to work together for their communities.  In Strathaven the churches quickly took on the challenge of bringing a mix of community projects together that reflect faith and service : Cleaning up the Allison Green and the river, bringing the Scottish Bible Society's Bible world exhibition to the town, the 24 hour prayer week , the hugely exciting Easter Trail and the totally free summer concert, Free in the Park are just some of the projects we have worked on together.

While each of the churches in our town is very active in its own right - together we share the vision of bringing HOPE - real hope, the Hope that Jesus has given us, to our community. Please browse the site and get a flavour of why we believe that the faith we share in common,  is one that is alive and very relevant today. 


EASTER COMES

 ALIVE - AGAIN 

EASTER TRAIL

April 18-24th

2011

Following the success of the first Strathaven Easter Trail in 2009, the churches are again organising the event for the week leading up to Easter Weekend. In 2009 about 1500 people visited the tour sites, many opting for a guided tour...and this year we are offering even more such guided tours. However the sites are open for visiting at your own pace - click this link to take you to the EASTER TOUR WEB PAGES - and learn more about the tour, download the audio tour to your ipod or mp3 player, and see photos from the first event.
