New Hope Mortgage Burning Ceremony

Who is like you, LORD God Almighty?

You, LORD, are mighty in your love and power, and your faithfulness surrounds you.

Surely the LORD has brought us to this place in our church’s history. God has prospered us.

We have built on a foundation that others have laid. God has shown us the way.

“Unless the Lord builds the house, they labor in vain who build it.”

Lord, we give you all the praise for the building we have done.

Our Church is your house. We are the work of your hands. We are your people, the sheep of your pasture.

We are in Christ, the living Cornerstone of God’s dwelling place.

We are the living stones being built into God’s dwelling place.

We give our future to you, God.

We place our church into your hands.

Use us to build a great church for the sake of the Good News of Jesus Christ, which you give us to tell and to live.

Without God’s help we could not have come this far. Without God’s intervention, we would not be where we are today.

We are debt free and ready to serve God with all of our might.
