Because we’ve been able to safely stay within the guidelines of having 112 folks in the sanctuary at our four regular weekly services, we’re going to drop the Sunday at 5pm service. Going forward, you’ll have four services each week to choose from: on Thursdays, there will be a traditional service at 5pm and a contemporary one at 7pm. On Sundays, we’ll have a traditional at 9am and a contemporary at 11am. The sermon will be the same at all four services. We know that not everyone may be able to come back or feel comfortable worshipping in the sanctuary so we will continue to offer traditional and contemporary services online for in home viewing, too.
Session and staff have researched the best and safest ways we can begin to meet together and all the details can be found by clicking the SITUATION UPDATE button below. With respect to guidelines from the CDC, we are monitoring our local COVID-19 numbers and if changes to our re-opening plan are necessary, we’ll adjust. Updates will be posted on Facebook and our website should any of our plans change. Initially, we are only restarting on campus worship services with no separate programming for early childhood, elementary or student ministry. Families are encouraged to worship with their children in our sanctuary that has been set up with physical distancing protocols.
We urge you to stay spiritually connected with your church family and join us for weekly Sunday worship as well as checking out the videos from our staff and pastors on the Experience New Hope channel. We’re continuing to pray and if you have concerns about our plans to meet in person or a prayer need, please do not hesitate to reach out to Pastor Eddie (239.450.3331) or Pastor Mike (813.368.1680). Don’t forget to check out our safety measures and plans for gathering again on campus, along with the service time details by clicking the SITUATION UPDATE button below!
With Love,
Your New Hope Team
