Worship Opportunities

Worship Service

9:00 a.m. Sundays

Church Alter The 9:00 a.m. Service is held in the sanctuary and is a traditional service of worship, incorporating hymn singing, prayer, scripture and a sermon, as well as music provided by our choir.

The sacrament of Holy Communion is celebrated on the first Sunday of each month. The sacrament of Christian baptism, especially for infants, is observed virtually every week. Dynamic preaching by the pastor and stirring music by the choir make this hour the central part of our worship as a congregation.

Nursery care is available for Worship Service. We are able to care for infants and toddlers through age 3.

Children's Church

Little Angel

Children's Church is held every Sunday except Holy Communion Sunday (first Sunday of each month) at 9:15 a.m.

Sunday School

Sunday School classes at New Hope UMC are focused on the study of the Bible. As we learn more about the Bible we discover the scriptures tell us repeatedly to study God's Holy Word and use this knowledge to teach others about how the scriptures direct our paths. We encourage anyone who wants to learn more about the Bible to come and learn with us. Sunday School immediately follows Sunday Worship Service.

Bible Study at New Hope UMC, located in the Fellowship Hall, is designed for people to not just understand what happened a long time ago. It's designed to answer the questions: 'What is the relevance for me?' 'What is this saying to me about me?' That's what it's all about: Making the Bible come alive. When New Hope Pastor Bill Masciangelo talks about the Bible, he's talking about a different book than the dusty one many of us grew up with. "Bible Study is a review of Sunday's sermon message," he says. "It's about encouraging group members to find personal relevance in Sunday's sermon message." Reverend Masciangelo keeps the discussions lively and the readings personal.
