In the midst of all of life’s activity, do you ever feel like you are just skimming the surface? Do you wonder if there is more to this life with Christ? That you have been called to something greater?
Here are a few opportunities for you to go deeper in your faith and find community at New Hope:
Our next session of adult Sunday School is underway! Each Sunday from 9/29-11/17, from 9:00-9:45am, join us for one of our three courses, information on which is available below. To sign up for a class, use this link!
The Epic of Eden: Deborah by Sandra J. Richter
In this course, we'll take a deep look at the character of Deborah in the book of Judges. This course combines archaeology, history, military strategies, and theology to provide a full understanding of Deborah, including her role, the time in which she lived, and what lessons she can teach us today.
**This course includes a brief story of sexual violence from Scripture.**
The Beautiful Word: Romans- Live with Clarity by Jada Edwards
The book of Romans is monumentally important in the development of Christian theology, serving as something like Paul's master treatise on the topic. In this course, we'll take a bird's eye view through the entire book, tracing both the messages that Paul had for the church at the time when he was writing as well as what they have to teach us today.
If You Want to Walk on Water, You've Got to Get Out of the Boat by John Ortberg
The first step to walking on water is perhaps the most difficult, the one that takes you out of the boat. In this course, we'll look at the story of Peter joining Jesus out on the water, including some often overlooked elements within the narrative. We'll also explore what we can learn from Peter about the areas of our lives where we are being pushed out of the comfort of the boat onto the water and what happens when we are willing to take that step.
**Subtitles are unavailable for this course.**
Our Small Group ministry is looking for you! We have a number of groups meeting regularly, and we are sure there's one that would be a great fit for you. We'll be updating this link with a full list in the near future, but for now, please reach out to the church office to learn more.
Thank you to everyone for attending our two retreats this year. Stay tuned for more announcements about our next retreats coming soon!
Motherhood is difficult ... we invite you to take some time for yourself and join us.
What is MomCo? (Short for Mom Community)
We’re convinced that moms are some of the most powerful creatures on the planet. What is the word people use to define powerful things? It is ‘the mother’… the mother of all storms, the mother of all traffic, the mother lode. To be a mother is to be a force of nature, but that doesn’t mean it should be done alone. MomCo groups meet regularly to share the joys and challenges of motherhood. The international website is https://www.themom.co/
MomCo meeting topics can be anything from doing a craft together for fellowship or listening to a speaker talk about relevant parenting topics, and of course there is always brunch. We saved you a seat.
When does MomCo meet?
New Hope MomCo meets 1 to 2 Fridays per month September through May from 9:30am – 11:30 am.
There is also a Moms Night Out (MNO) gathering and a Playdate scheduled once per month for those who would like to participate. In addition, MomCo offers its members opportunities for service projects.
What will my child do during MomCo?
The childcare program is staffed by paid workers who have completed our background check process. Teachers take great care of the children in the preschool wing while the mothers meet in the sanctuary. MomCo Kids activities include a snack for the children, craft or other creative activity (depending on age of the child), stories, songs and of course, playtime with other kids. MomCo International provides an age appropriate curriculum.

The Journey: An Invitation to Grow Deeper in Your Walk with Christ
The Journey invites you to awaken to God’s good work in and through you. Imagine the significant rewards that could result if you are brave enough to walk through a process that deepens and refreshes your life with Christ with a group of curious, motivated adults.
The Journey is a meaningful walk with others that explores the biggest questions of your faith: Who is God? Who am I? What does God desire to do through me?
The Journey group (usually 6-12 people) meets together weekly, guided by a trained facilitator who encourages accountability, safe relationships, thoughtful reflection, honest conversation, and prayer. During the pandemic, our Journey groups will meet on Zoom.
*The cost of materials is $250.00
