Our Women's Ministry "Women of New Hope" is starting a new season of Bible Studies this Wednesday, March 9! Ladies, you can choose from a variety of Bible studies based on the depth of study you prefer. Drop in between 9:30-10am in Room 212 at New Hope for casual coffee, conversation, or to see a prayer partner. At 9:45am we will gather for devotions, announcements, and music. Classes begin at 10am and are held at New Hope in the education building. Childcare will be provided for infants through Pre-K. Click here to see more info about each study and register for the one of your choice!
Recognizing that Covid is under control in our area, Session voted on February 22, 2022, to lift all Covid restrictions involving our church and ministry at New Hope. This Sunday, March 6, we'll begin passing the Friendship Pads, offering plates, and baskets with the self contained communion elements. The communion elements will be the pre-packaged variety we've used since the Summer of 2020.
Join us for an organ concert featuring guest organist John Renfroe on Sunday, March 20 at 3pm.

How to participate in communion if you
are part of the online New Hope family.
1. Purchase grape juice or wine. 2. Purchase bread or baked crackers. - Unleavened bread is the best expression of the "bread" element. Unleavened bread simply is bread baked without a rising agent (most large grocery stores stock unleavened bread), but you can select any bread of your choice. 3. Be ready at home with your elements. - One of our Pastors will direct you along with those who are gathered at the church through properly receiving communion. All you need to do is follow along online individually, as a family, or with your group.
