Revitalization Update

This past Sunday, 45-50 of us met and discussed New Hope's 5-yr Vision Statement crafted by our Revitalization sub-team from the input and decisions made by the congregation in previous meetings. We were unified in the statement and in the recommendation by the North Carolina Baptist Convention to pursue the fostering process as the next step in revitalization.

At our next congregational meeting, you'll hear Terry Long (NCBC) share

more in-depth about the fostering process, what it means for our church in finding help in vital areas, and then seek congregational approval to begin the search for potential fostering churches. We believe the Lord is at work and leading us throughout this process. Don't miss our next meeting in the Sanctuary on Sunday, November 20th at 4 pm.
