THIS WEEK

GlowFest Volunteer Sign Up
Help Us GLOW!
GlowFest is one of our biggest opportunities all year to love on our community—and we need YOU to help make it happen!
On November 1 from 6–9 PM, New Hope Hermitage will welcome our community for a completely free night of family fun featuring glow-in-the-dark mini golf, inflatables, carnival games, candy, and more.
It takes a lot of people to make a night like this possible, but you don’t have to give your whole evening. We have three volunteer shifts available, so you can jump in, serve, and still have plenty of time to enjoy the night!
Whether you’re helping with a game, greeting families, keeping things moving, or simply being a friendly face, your presence helps us create a place where our neighbors feel welcomed, loved, and cared for.
Come be part of something bigger than an event. Let’s GLOW for our community! Sign up for a volunteer shift today.
Wednesday Night Church - Sept 30
Dinner starts at 5:45pm ($1 per item), followed by Family Worship at 6:15pm. Age-based programs begin at 6:30pm: Adult Bible Study with Mike Livingstone, Preschool and Kids' Ministry with Jeremiah Davis, and Student Ministry with Eric Moreno. Come get connected through fellowship, worship, and study!
Everyone is welcome to join in the celebration.  We have some fun awards planned so join us at 6pm on August 30. Please register so we know how much food to order. Register HERE!
24 Hours of Prayer - Oct 3
Let’s bathe our church, our community, and one another in prayer! From 9:00 AM Saturday, October 3, through 9:00 AM Sunday, October 4, we’re setting aside 24 hours to seek the Lord together.

Whether you can commit to an hour, 30 minutes, or simply whatever time you’re able to give, every prayer matters. We invite every member of New Hope to take a time slot and join us in covering our church in prayer as we ask God to move, lead, and work in ways only He can. Sign up here or see a member of the prayer team in the lobby between Sunday services!
Operation Christmas Child Launch - Oct 4
As we look toward the joy of Jesus’ birth this Christmas season, let’s share that joy with a child through Operation Christmas Child! Fill a shoe box with fun toys, games, and little surprises that will bring a BIG smile to a child’s face.

Think of it as Christmas morning in a box—and the best part? You get to be the one who packs it! Grab a shoe box, fill it with some joy (and maybe a toy or two you secretly wish you could keep).
We will be collecting boxes starting October 4th through November 15th! To give online or find more information visit our page!
Let’s fill some boxes, spread some smiles, and celebrate the greatest gift of all—Jesus!
