New Hope Is Growing

We have come a long way. Our church is growing. I don’t want us to forget how far we have come. We have seen God’s work among us in powerful ways. To paraphrase a prayer that I’ve heard called an “old slave prayer,” We are not what we ought to be. We are not what we’re going to be. But, praise God, we are not what we used to be.
Let’s remember that we have several young families with children who have joined us and become active in recent times.
Let’s thank God for lives being changed.
Let’s give God credit for bringing us out of debt and into an ability to put money in savings.
As we have been talking about, we need to add classroom space for our children, youth, and adult Bible Study classes. Now is the time for us to begin our Building Fund Campaign. We need to raise $60,000 in order to buy the classroom building we have voted to purchase. Look for informational brochures and Building Fund Offering envelopes coming soon.
Together we can and will further the growth we see taking place. We will make room for the numbers of people responding to Christ, learning to love God and people, and growing in serving God together.
