“I just wanna know– what are some fun things that happen off-campus that Hope students attend, but aren’t directly associated with Hope College? Is there anything to do in Holland other than go to the beach and hang out on 8th Street?”
The answer: YES.
For every college student, there comes a time in which the 8th Street burnout and Pine Grove winter occurs, leaving students wondering if other fun activities take place in the Holland area. Luckily for us, there are many opportunities for fun off-campus activities, one being concerts in connection with a local radio station, JQ99, taking place this fall.
My roomie Sarah and I heard that Passion Worship Band would be here in Holland at Ridge Point Church on October 16, and last night, we grabbed dinner and went to the concert. You may have heard of Passion Conference located in Atlanta and Houston, and the band we had the opportunity to see last night is the band associated with this concert (You can find out more about the Passion Conference here.) Plus, as an added bonus, Kristian Stanfill was there!
Check out some pictures from our night:
