A Night For New Hope To Feature The Bedouin Fires By Dayna M. Reidenouer
“There’s this great organization in the community, and we thought, since we’re already involved, why don’t we use our other talents to make a big noise?” And that is how A Night for New Hope came about, explained Matt Huber, bass player and vocalist for The Bedouin Fires. The band will perform in the benefit concert for New Hope Community Life Ministry on Saturday, March 23, at 7 p.m. at Union Presbyterian Church, 5637 Street Road, Kirkwood. The four-piece band also includes Caley Roark, Scott Weyman, and Kirk Landis. John Girvin is an alumnus and may sit in on a few pieces during A Night for New Hope. Huber noted that his wife, Amy, is on New Hope’s board of directors along with Roark and Girvin. The organization is dedicated to helping families and
individuals access Christ-centered, professional counseling. “I just think there’s so much brokenness and losses you go through in life,” Huber remarked. “What a great organization and its heart for the community.” New Hope executive director Neil Uniacke expressed his gratitude that counselor Elaine Campbell has recently been named a certified clinical trauma professional. “A lot of adults were traumatized kids,” Uniacke remarked, noting that abuse, addictions, and violence are common causes of trauma. “ We’re trying to bring families back to healing and wholeness.” Huber suggested that some of the music The Bedouin Fires plays is relevant to New Hope’s mission. “We have a song about walking beside someone as they’re going through a struggle and supporting them,” he said.

As interim pastor at Faith Reformed Presbyterian Church, 611 Robert Fulton Highway, Quarryville, Dan Perrin’s primary role has been to help congregation members work through the emotions that rise after change occurs. “My job is to absorb the bumps and struggles that come with transitions so the church is able to move forward,” Perrin explained. Faith Church’s previous full-time pastor, Sam Andreades, had served the church for nearly five years before leaving on July 31, 2018, to pursue other ministry opportunities. Perrin started his
