The last Sunday of July was family fellowship. We are so blessed to have such wonderful people and terrific cooks! We had a meal that was out of this world and our attendance is steadily climbing!! GOD IS GOOD!! God's got great plans in the works for New Hope and I pray that each of you want to be a big part of those plans! There are so many people who have been told that they are not welcomed, they are not children of God, but we know that Christ's blood was not selective!! It is not gender specific, race specific, or fashion specific! We are intentionally diverse and welcome all of God's children to come worship with us! I pray that God is continuing to bless each of you as richly as He's blessing each of us!! We hope to see you soon!!
