Farewell Celebration This Sunday!
Join in honoring Pastor Greg and Family with a celebration Sunday, June 3rd at 9:30am

Farewell Celebration

Join in a celebration to commemorate the past six years of service Pastor Greg, Kerry, and Rebekah have contributed to the founding and growth of New Hope.

 

The celebration begins at 9:30 with a special service honoring major milestones and achievements that could not have been possible without the hard work, late nights, and prayerful sacrifices of the Jewison family. A celebration will follow the service and, as with any New Hope festivity, there will be cake!

 

Pastor Greg and Family will be relocating to Madison in June. We wish them the best as they begin this exciting new chapter in their lives!

 

Director of Ministries Patti Bacher will also be recognized for her extraordinary work in developing New Hope ministries. For the last four years, Patti has been instrumental in growing ministries and kick-starting missions for New Hope. Patti and soon-to-be-husband Harry will be relocating to Pensacola, Florida this summer.
