Worship Service

9:00 a.m. Sundays

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 Time

Childrens Church

Children’s Time is held every Sunday at 9:15 a.m. Children’s Time helps the children to be a part of and not separate from the congregation. It help’s integrate them into the church service when they are older. Teachers rotate each Sunday and weave the sermon and Bible stories together during Children’s Time. This time together is not only instructional and interactive for the children but for the whole congregation.

Sunday School

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

7:00 p.m. Wednesdays

Bible Study

Bible Study at New Hope UMC, located in the Sanctuary, 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. Pastor Bill keeps the discussions lively and the readings personal.

Palm Sunday - 2010

Palm Sunday

Palm Sunday Service was held on March 28, 2010. On this day the children entered New Hope UMC waving palm fronds (stems) and handing them out to the worshipers. The palms and the biblical sermon of the Passion (Palm Sunday) was a reminder to all that Jesus is there for everyone. He was there not only over 2000 years ago but He is with us today and everyday.

Palm Sunday signals the upcoming end of Lent. This is the most solemn week of the Christian year.
