The pastor of New Hope United Church of Christ invites you to join us at the local pub for some stimulating conversation. As you sip your cold beverage, be ready to chew on some hot topics.
Vessels of Honor is an extension of our church ministry both within the church and in the community. We recognize the distinguished position held by the Seniors of the faith in our church family. Many may not be able to attend church services due to age-related health or transportation issues. Through this ministry we want to engage our most Senior members, and to assist them in their daily lives as needed. This ministry is not exclusive to Senior members, but serves as a central point of outreach to those Seniors in our community. Outreach includes but is not limited to: providing food, transportation, hospital visitation, hospice, and assisted living ministry.
