Restoration Project |

|
|
Restoration is a 6-day experience that guides you through the rhythm of life in God’s new creation. Think of it as a hybrid between a mission trip, a family reunion, and an amazing retreat. Each day at Restoration is split into thirds, leading you to ...
- BE – take time to be with God (through Scripture, prayer, stillness)
- DO – take time to serve with Jesus in this broken world
- CELEBRATE – take time to enjoy life with others through God’s Spirit
Let’s be blunt – we want to drop you into a local community (this summer: New Orleans) where you can learn to follow Jesus so you can do the same thing back home in Fort Myers. It’s all there – united to God, connected to each other, serving together.
The point? God is on a mission to restore all things – from individual lives, to families, to churches, to communities. It’s time to catch the rhythm and learn to play your part!

Confirmation 2010 |
|
|
|
What it is: Rooting in faith and building up. In our church and tradition, Confirmation is a time when teenagers sense God’s work in their life and a readiness to commit to faith in Jesus Christ and full participation in the life of our church. It’s a mix of middle/high school students from New Hope families and friends or student ministry program participants. The core of Confo is an overnight discipleship retreat (staffed by a team of leaders) that leads students through basic Christian beliefs and practice.
-
When it is: there are 4 parts to the 2-week process (and you must make all four).
- April 23 (6:30pm) to April 25 (2:00pm) – the local Retreat Weekend (at a large home here in Fort Myers).
- April 27, 6:30-8pm – Students attend the NHP Session Meeting (our church leaders)
- May 1, 5-7pm – A special family picnic event (TBA).

Released |
|
|
|
We all want forgiveness … but are we willing to give it out? How do you move on so you can get past the hurt and pain to the release you need? And how do you give the gift of forgiveness to another? Join us at HS Small Groups in March!
week One: First Things First (march 1-7)
Bottom line: if you receive forgiveness, then give forgiveness.
week Two: Letting Go (march 8-14)
Bottom line: Letting go involves identifying the offense and trusting God to fix what was broken.
week Three: Moving On (march 15-21)
Bottom line: Forgiveness is an ongoing process, not a formula. Keep doing it.

In July, 18 high school students and 7 adults went from New Hope to Corozal Town, Belize, to spend the week working (and playing!). It was a great trip with a lot of sweat, laughter, service, and excitement.
