Sometimes it is good to stop and take a look back at what we have been able to accomplish together. Look at some things God has allowed us to do in the last few years.
- Refurbished the A-frame so that we could use it for children and youth ministry
- Added eleven new members by baptism in the last two and a half years and 18 other new members by statement of faith or transfer
- Added handicapped parking spaces behind the sanctuary
- Called a part-time director of children and youth ministry
- Added to our staff a part-time caretaker of our buildings and grounds
- Maintained a booth at Port Orange Family Days for the last three years
- Hosted an American Cancer Society Relay for Life in May
- Provided Vacation Bible School each summer since 2006
- Children’s activities every Saturday morning, Wednesday night, and Children’s Church on Sunday morning
- Our youth group meets every Wednesday night and will be going on a retreat to St. Simon’s Island in July
- Sponsor a Cub Scout Pack
- Celebrate residents’ birthdays at a local assisted living facility each month
- Benevolence Committee oversees an active program to help people in need
By working together, using the gifts and abilities God has placed in us, and contributing our money, we have made great progress toward becoming the church God wants New Hope to be. Fleda and I are thankful to be part of such a loving, serving church family.
