Our New Pastor Has Been Announced!
Plus Changes in Lay Staffing
  
We are excited to announce that our our next pastor, Rev. Mike Herdt, will be coming to New Hope the beginning of July.   In case you missed the special Enews that went out earlier this week introducing Pastor Mike and his family, you can read it by clicking here.

You may also have noticed a change in staffing recently on Sunday mornings or if you've stopped by during the week.  In March the Church Council decided that our Director of Ministries staff position would be reduced from full-time to two days a week effective immediately.  The scope of the job responsibilities has been realigned to accommodate the change.

A transition team is in place to ensure things go smoothly during this time as we prepare to welcome Pastor Mike and his wife, Pat.      
Confirmation is Sunday!

The confirmation class will be confirmed during the 9:30 service this Sunday.  Following the service refreshments will be served where you'll have an opportunity to chat with them about their faith journey this past year and offer your congratulations.

Congratulations to Cece Fricke, Logan Green, Mason Piontek and Erica Rudd!
