STAFF SPOTLIGHT:
WELCOME MATTHEW WEILER

We're thrilled to welcome Matthew Weiler to the New Hope team as a Student Ministry Intern! Matthew is no stranger to New Hope, as he’s been a part of this church since he was just five years old. He has actively participated in both children’s and student ministries and has also contributed significantly to our tech team over the years. Raised in a faith-filled household, Matthew first came to know God at a young age. At 14, he began to deepen his personal relationship with Christ, discovering God's presence both in challenging times and joyous moments. As a student ministry intern, Matthew aspires to grow further in his faith. “Wherever I am, I want to focus on God and commit my day, all I am, and all that I do to Him. I hope to be a light in a dark world and a reflection of a disciple of Christ.”


Make plans to join us for FamCon 25 from June 5-7 as we welcome children and families to our campus for TRUE NORTH – an adventure in learning to trust Jesus in a wild world!  Parents wishing to register their children and those able to volunteer can click here to find out more information and register!


If you are a student graduating from high school this year, please complete the form at newhopefortmyers.org/senior by April 16 to be honored in our Senior Sunday services on May 11.


EASTER EXPERIENCE RECAP

Last Sunday, church members of all ages gathered for New Hope’s Family Easter Experience. After enjoying a meal together, groups made their way through five rooms representing the events of Holy Week from Palm Sunday to Easter Sunday. In each room, they took part in a hands-on activity, allowing them to further contemplate each event of Holy Week. It was a wonderful way to begin the Easter season with our church family.


DAVID & SUSAN WEINMAN:

YOUNG LIFE SCOTLAND

 

As the camp season at Loch Monzievaird approaches, we invite you to pray for David and Susan in their preparations for another exciting summer. May God use this opportunity to touch the hearts of many young people and guide them to Christ.
