Nearly 200 supporters of Rising Hope attended the annual Hope Grows Gala at the Waterford of Springfield on Oct. 14.
State Sen. Scott Surovell (D-36) presented Rising Hope Mission Church with a joint resolution passed by the General Assembly in recognition for being “an innovative church that provides spiritual leadership and general support to less fortunate individuals and families in Alexandria.”
The resolution was co-sponsored by state Sen. Adam Ebbin (D-30), Del. Paul Krizek (D-44) and Del. Mark Sickles (D-43).
The resolution was presented to the Rev. Keary Kincannon, pastor of Rising Hope United Methodist Mission Church.
Kirk Kincannon, director of Fairfax County Park Authority and brother of the pastor, ran a live auction at the event.
