Welcome to Worship
elcome to New Hope Church, now into our third century serving God! If you are visiting, you will discover a loving, spirit-filled church family. Here is some helpful information as you join us in worship today: All who worship here are equals in the sight of God, regardless of race, age, gender, physical disability or religious affiliation. Communion, when celebrated, is open to all who profess Christ as Lord and Savior, whether affiliated with this church or not. Children may partake of Communion as well, if parents approve. A nursery is available during the service; please see a greeter for directions. (This is for infants and children up to 3 years of age.) Handicap-accessible restrooms are located off the narthex (main foyer) and adjacent to the entrance lobby in the Fellowship Hall/Gym. Please complete the tear-off attendance slip attached to the bulletin and drop it in the offering plate so we will have a record of your visit with us today. Thank you for remembering to silence your cell phone during the service. We ask that there be no food or beverages in the sanctuary, please. If you arrived as a visitor we hope that you leave as a friend and worship with us often! New Hope Church exists to: Glorify God in worship and rejoice in our life together; Share the Good News of the Gospel in word and deed; Reach as many as we can with the saving love of Jesus; Help each person grow toward Christian maturity, and find their place of service in the church and in the world.

about. Empty Bowls is a national effort, where we will participate on Sunday evening August 25 by making bowls, and then on Sunday evening October 6 we will paint them. The bowls are then given away along with a soup meal, or they may be purchased back by the maker for a $15 donation. Ben Spicer is in charge of this program and will be glad to answer any questions you may have. A Childrens Choir will begin assembling on Sunday morning, September 1 at 8:50 a.m. Ben Spicer welcomes and encourages all children to participate! A Cumberland Presbyterian Womens (CPW) Ministry is forming at New Hope. Elder Mary Thompson invites each woman who can be available to join in this important ministry of the local church. Please sign up on the tearoff portion of the bulletin if you are interested. New Hope invites the men of the church and the surrounding community to a weekly Prayer Breakfast each Tuesday morning at 6:00 a.m. A devotional is shared over breakfast, and a time of prayer follows before the busy workday begins. In a casual atmosphere men may discuss concerns that stay within the group. A bond between friends develops. This is a meaningful time of fellow-ship for the men who attend. Visitors are always welcome. Come join us! New Hope Choir resumes today Led by Ben, the New Hope choir is more than just a choir. It is a small group that meets on Sunday mornings to fellowship, express concerns, reflect on a devotional together and pray for one another. Those in the choir are blessed to be in it together. Join the choir and find out why! They meet every Sunday after the Worship Service at 11:30. Stephen Ministry - Got a burden? You dont have to carry that burden alone. You can have a STEPHEN MINISTER who will spend time with you, listen to you, and walk beside you. If you or someone you know is interested in receiving care through the Stephen Ministry program at New Hope, please contact the pastor through the Church office at (615) 449-7020 and request that a Stephen minister contact you.

Ministries/Activities Within Our Church

Back-to-School Bash will be tonight at 5:00 here at the church. We will have all sorts of fun activities for the children to do on the back parking lot. Children will need to bring bathing suits because it will be a mini water park set up back there for them to play and have fun. Inside the fellowship hall we will be having a churchwide dinner. We are going to cook out hamburgers and hot dogs with buns and the church will provide that. We are asking for your help with the food for Sunday evening. We meant to have a sign-up sheet passed around last Sunday, but since we did not, here is what we are asking (we will do this by alphabet) If your last name begins with: A F, please bring Lettuce, Tomato, Onions Pickles, etc. G K, please bring drinks (Cokes, Mello Yello, etc. in cans) L P, please bring condiments (Ketchup, mustard, etc.) Q Z, please bring side items (baked beans, potato salad, etc) The church is furnishing the hamburgers, hotdogs, buns and desserts (ice cream). Empty Bowls is a ministry at New Hope that the Session approved for the August and October I Love My Church dinners. Coming together as a community to help feed hungry people is at the heart of what Empty Bowls is all
