FamCon was a huge success!

 

This Sunday, June 7, we will be having a FamCon Recap moment during both of our worship services and we encourage all of our FamCon leaders and participants to wear their FamCon shirts as we celebrate an amazing event!

We will be placing an order for New Hope name tags on Monday, June 8. If you haven't received one yet and would like a name tag, your first one is free! Replacement name tags are $10 each. Simply add your name to the sign-up sheet at the Welcome Table in the Lobby at New Hope this Sunday.

In case you missed our announcement last week, we are doing a "baby bottles" drive for Verity during the month of June. You can take a bottle from the Lobby at New Hope and fill it with cash, a check, or scan the included QR code to make a gift online. Your partnership in this way fuels the mission to uphold the sanctity of human life by providing services that encourage and equip men and women to choose life for their baby.

KIDS MINISTRY UPDATE

 

What an incredible year we've had so far in New Hope Kids! Together, we journeyed through God's Story, from creation to the early church, discovering how God's plan of redemption unfolds throughout Scripture. We concluded our study by focusing on the vital role each one of us plays in God's story today. Every believer, young and old, has been called to know Christ, follow Him, and share His love with others.

 

As we move into the summer months, we're digging even deeper into that mission. Our June theme is Kingdom Quest – Seeking the Greatest Treasure. Through Bible lessons, activities, and discussions, we'll explore what it means to treasure God's Kingdom above all else and live as faithful followers of Jesus. We'll be learning how to recognize the true treasure found in Christ and how we can reflect His love in our homes, neighborhoods, and communities.

 

Thank you for partnering with us as we disciple the next generation. Please continue to pray that our children would grow in their love for Jesus and boldly seek the greatest treasure of all.

OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD

During the month of June, we are partnering with this local pregnancy and medical resource center, giving you the opportunity to take a bottle from the Lobby at New Hope and fill it with cash, a check, or scan the QR code to give online. Your partnership in this way fuels the mission to uphold the sanctity of human life by providing services that encourage and equip men and women to choose life for their baby.

 

Join us in praying for the staff at Verity to be sustained in this hard-but-rewarding, vital work with women and families, encouraging them to choose life for their unborn child!
