2nd Anniversary Celebration!

This last Sunday we celebrated our church’s 2nd anniversary with a wonderful worship service and potluck. It was one of our biggest services ever, with 207 in attendance, and I counted over 120 who stayed after for lunch. What a fun day!

I’ve now collected some pictures, which I’ve posted below. I also have Dewey’s sermon uploaded to the web site, plus Steve recorded our instrumental prelude that Jered arranged, so if you weren’t there right at the beginning of the service you can hear our Come Now Is the Time to Worship groove online, too!

If you’re a part of our New Hope family, I encourage you to make our third year our best yet. How?
- Draw closer to God by breaking open your Bible and praying at least a little bit everyday.
- Make it a goal to encourage somebody every Sunday morning.
- Be constantly on the look out for new people and convince them this is the most welcoming and warm gathering of people in McMinnville.
- Help pay for rent, staff, supplies and eternally changed lives by giving to the Lord’s work here.
- Come to church every week--you’re an important part of our family, and we miss you when you’re gone.

Why not take a second right now to pray that God will bless us this year...and then be ready to be an answer to that prayer!
