Hear What God Has to Say

Will you listen and hear what God has to say?
www.newhopeuccdeland.com | (386) 473-7429

"God is still Speaking..." a campaign by the United Church of Christ to remind us to listen and hear what God still has to say...

Since New Hope United Church of Christ opened its doors, this quote has been a burning vision of New Hope to make religion relevant again and to extend an extravagant welcome to all—because no matter who you are, or where you are on life's journey, you're welcome here. Here at the New Hope United Church of Christ.

Positively Influence Your Circumstances

New Hope UCC believes that with time, community, and faith you can positively influence your circumstances.
www.newhopeuccdeland.com | (386) 473-7429

Thought for the day: What you focus on the most, expands. We are created beings made in the image of a creative God. What this means is that we all have the power to influence-whether positively or negatively-our circumstances. If you want a dynamic ministry program, you can create it. If you want a vibrant faith community, you can create it. Energy flows where attention goes and if something is dead, dying, or no longer working it's time to assess the amount of time, energy, and resources being given to those areas. If all the money is spent on building maintenance, it is no wonder that the youth program is dying.

If all the time is spent at council meetings, it's no wonder that the areas of outreach and evangelism are lacking. We all have the same creative power to ultimately design, and therefore enhance, our lives and our ministries. Sometimes things do require more energy, time, and resources than others...but it requires balance. You can learn a lot about a church's priorities by looking at what they give the most to. Everything requires an investment; if you want more, give more. Hope is not something that just happens unless you create an atmosphere of giving to and investing in the people, things, and programs that inspire hope in your community. What do you hope for, and what are you doing about it?
