PASTORAL NOTICE
Our pastors are away this week. If you have an urgent need or emergency, please email us at nhca4u@gmail.com and a council member will follow up with you.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Dr. Parry Stelter! Wishing you a wonderful birthday on July 1st — what a special way to share your day with all of Canada!
HAPPY CANADA DAY — July 1st! Wishing our entire New Hope family a safe, joyful, and blessed Canada Day celebration!
IMPORTANT NOTICE — TITHE ENVELOPES
It has come to our attention that tithe envelopes have occasionally been found in the prayer request box by mistake. To ensure that your generous giving reaches its intended destination safely, we kindly ask that you please double-check that you are placing your tithe envelope in the correct box — the tithing box, not the prayer box.
We also ask that you personally place your own tithe envelope in the tithing box, rather than passing it to a child or another individual to do so on your behalf. This simple step helps us ensure that your offering is received safely and accounted for properly.
Thank you so much for your attention to this matter and for your continued faithful giving. Your generosity makes a real difference in the life of our church and community!
Blessings,
The New Hope Church Team

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!
God bless each and every one of you,
Marcia & the New Hope Church Team
