What’s Happening at New Hope
Thank You from the Finance Team
The Finance Team would like to thank all those who contributed items for the Silent Auction and also those that participated in the bidding! The Silent Auction raised $637 and will help with New Hope’s mission to Love God, Love Others, and Serve! Thank you all for your support in New Hope’s fundraising efforts!
The Finance Team
SPECIAL CHRISTMAS EVE OFFERING
On Christmas Eve a special offering will be taken. The total amount of this collection will go toward the building loan principal. Gifts can be given at any time between now and Christmas Eve. It is important that you write “LOAN PRINCIPAL OFFERING” on your tithe envelop or check.
As you know, we are within $100,000 of paying off the building mortgage. This has been made possible by the generous donations to the loan principal over the last several years. The Christmas Eve offering will be a further opportunity for each of us to continue to build on this legacy of giving and to make our own faith statement.
Praise be to God for His many blessings.
