Shout Out for Celebrations at NHC
July 10 — Our Pastors, Alan & Catherine Pysar, are celebrating their Wedding Anniversary!
Birthdays this month:
July 17 – Pat Wilton

Our Kidz Church has also wrapped up the 10 Commandments lessons and are moving on to their writing project of The Firefly Festival, inspired by the parables in the Bible. This writing will end up being a creative performance for the church to enjoy in the upcoming months.
New Hope is a small congregation, and that is actually one of our greatest strengths — because here, every single person counts. When we each do our small part, something beautiful happens together. Thank you for being such a vital and wonderful part of this church family!
Let's remember to hold our brothers and sisters in Christ up in prayer, especially those that are weary and in need.
God bless each and every one of you,
Marcia & the New Hope Church Team
