2025 Q2 Update

A graphic showing the Hope for Everyone progress update for March 2025.

Dear Menlo Church Family,

It’s been a few months since we began this three-year generosity and discipleship journey, Hope for Everyone. There are several key steps we’ve already taken and some aspects of what we knew God would have to do that have also had some progress that I wanted to update you on.

Below, you'll find an update (~22 minutes) highlighting some remarkable progress and how your generosity and commitment through the Hope for Everyone Initiative are helping transform lives across the Bay Area. As you read, you will see that your faithfulness is making an eternal impact.

Even as the events happening in our world can feel so unpredictable and tumultuous, our hope and identity in Jesus can be an anchor to something so much greater. Paul highlights the same idea: “Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth. For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God” (Colossians 3:2,3).

While our life is protected and ‘hidden’ with Christ, our hope is far from hidden, and you are helping us to bring it further than ever before. Thank you for embodying hope so beautifully. Let's continue stepping forward with bold faith, trusting God to use our efforts in ways greater than we can imagine.

Grace and peace,
Phil

Let's pray and commit to give however God leads us.

If we all invest in our future together, each of us responding in faith to what God asks us to do, the Hope for Everyone campaign will be a success by any measurement. When we combine our resources, the impact is multiplied exponentially.
