Bikes & Bubbles

This Saturday, Oct. 1 | 10:00-11:30 am | Kinder-3rd Grade

Come for some family fun! Bring your own bikes for a bicycle rodeo with an obstacle course, games and some bubble fun. Be sure to wear clothes you can get wet in. Meet us in the Children's Building parking lot and let's make some memories!

Kids Next Steps

This Sunday, Oct. 2 | 4:00 pm | CHILD 204

This is a salvation and baptism class for children who are asking questions about becoming a Christ follower and wish to follow through with believer's baptism by immersion. This class is a no-pressure class that will answer children's questions and walk a child carefully through their understanding of the choice they are making.

This four-week class involves parent participation at home. Meets in Children's Building, Rm 204. Class dates are: Oct. 2, 9, 16 and 23.

Serving as a Family

Oct. 8 | 9:00 am | FLC & Off Campus

The church is leaving the building! Join us as we share Christ's love with our community by serving in several practical ways. We will meet in the FLC for a short rally, then follow signs to your chosen serving opportunity. Once all teams are gathered, they will receive instructions before heading out to serve.

There will be serving opportunities for all ages (childcare provided for 3 yrs. and under). This is a great family opportunity where parents can model serving for their kids as they serve together.

The Importance of a Christian Community

The point of the church is to help one another live like Jesus. Our mission is to live like Jesus and put others first. Matthew 22:37-40 says, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment. And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself.

When we develop close relationships with other believers, we have people that will pray for us, support us, encourage us, and have people to serve together with. It is a time where families can minister to each other.

Just like any relationship, there can be struggles within Christian community, but it’s totally worth it! New Hope is filled with imperfect people. The people I personally connect with the most are the ones that are the most transparent and real.

Children are an Important part of our Christian Community

Community helps guide children to discover the relevance of Scripture to their personal lives. Your children’s Hope Group leaders along with parents must guide them to discover that relevance and apply it to their lives. This time offers children opportunities to apply the truth that is being taught in the perspective of the community; as well as help them understand church is not a building, it is the people in the building that make up the church.

Blessings,

What is the Church?

The church is so much more than a building. Take a look at the Early Church to learn how we, the people, are the church. Acts 2:42-47, Acts 4:32-37
