Weekly Update – October 7th, 2026
Good afternoon, New Hope family! It was such a blessing to celebrate three baptisms this past Sunday. What a joy to see these believers publicly proclaim their faith in Jesus Christ! Let’s continue to pray for them and encourage them as they grow in their walk with Christ. As we move further into fall, we have plenty of upcoming opportunities to worship, serve, and learn.
