Letter from the Elders - New Hope Building Reopening

May 25, 2020

Dear New Hope Family,

It is hard to believe that we have not met for worship in our building since March 15!

So much has happened and we are amazed at your resiliency and flexibility as we transitioned to online services and Zoom classes. The Elders and Ministers have developed a plan to ease us back into meeting together within the guidelines of our local, state and federal governments. We know that there are many thoughts and opinions about how this should be done. Some will think that it is too slow and others will think it is too fast. We ask that you continue to be gracious and patient as we carefully approach the reopening of our building and return to having our worship services there.  

Here are some KEY POINTS and DATES for you to know:
  • June 21 – Worship services will return to the building with a LIVE stream available for those who are not comfortable with returning to the building
  • Members in a vulnerable or “at risk” group or members who have compromised immune systems should continue to worship with the streaming service
  • There will be NO CHILDREN'S CLASSES OR NURSERY SERVICES provided until September so parents are asked to keep their children with them at all times 
  • Youth and adult classes will continue to be held through online resources or other means
  • Everyone coming to the building should follow proper safety protocols and social distancing requirements
  • Using small groups meeting in homes for worship and fellowship is encouraged. Grab a couple of friends to come watch our online service and take communion together!
We know there are many of our brothers and sisters who will not be able to come yet so make a special effort to be living water to them. We will continue to send out weekly updates as the June 21 approaches.

New Hope will look to the Spirit to guide us through this transition and we will stay centered on Jesus as we adapt. We look forward to seeing how God will use us to further the Gospel through this!

In Him,
The Elders
