Celebrating ten years of giving Moorestown ‘Hope’
In 2007, Hope Community Church, a community-reaching church based on the principles of the Christian faith, took shape, and the church is celebrating its 10-year anniversary this month. Bonaventura said that 10 years ago the church wanted to become a “reaching-style” church where it encouraged community members to join it as opposed to being a self-contained “holy huddle.” For that reason, ten years ago, church leaders took to the streets of Moorestown with a list of potential new names for the church.
Sever and Darmo twins share a special bond both on and off the field
Moorestown High School field hockey has a pair of dynamic duos hoping to lead the Quakers to a fourth consecutive sectional championship this season. The Quakers have two pairs of twins who are mainstays in the team’s starting lineup. Identical twins Madison and Olivia Sever and fraternal twins Morgan and Julia Darmo are all juniors at Moorestown High School. Madison plays forward and midfield for the Quakers, Olivia plays right midfield, Morgan is a key defender for Moorestown, and Julia plays both midfield and defense. All four have played key roles in leading the Quakers to Central Jersey Group III sectional championships the past two years.
Maintaining Main: Garden Club brings Autumn ‘ambiance’ to Moorestown
On the morning of Tuesday, Oct. 3, a small congregation of women gathered to welcome fall to Moorestown. The handful of members from the Moorestown Garden Club were eager to help prepare for Autumn in Moorestown on Saturday, Oct. 14 by arranging fall pansies in the planters along Main Street. Also, on Tuesday, the club — in collaboration with Keller Williams — affixed cornstalks to lampposts on Main Street to bring a fall air to town. Garden Club member Linda Porter said whether people realize it, maintaining the aesthetics of downtown helps contribute to the success of local businesses. “The streetscape really adds to the ambiance of people wanting to be down here,” Porter said.
