This Christmas Eve, we are excited to offer two distinct services tailored to meet the needs of our congregation and guests:
5:00 PM Family Service: Perfect for families with children, this service will engage hearts with an interactive telling of the Christmas story, festive music, and activities that everyone can enjoy. It's a wonderful opportunity for families to worship together and experience the true joy of Christmas.

Stocking the Shelves for Neighbors
Christmas at New Hope – Stocking the Shelves for Hope for Her and ECHO
For the last fifteen years, New Hope has been involved in the Gift of Hope, a partnership between ECHO and area churches to provide food, gifts, and spiritual support to needy families during the Christmas season. Over the years, fewer churches have participated and the bulk of the work has fallen on a smaller group of churches while need in our community has increased.
This year, our Gift of Hope team, which consists of representatives from ECHO and several North Brandon churches, decided to make a shift. With less participation and feeling the strain from the two recent hurricanes, the team decided to take a hiatus from Gift of Hope in 2024. Each participating church will now lean into whatever they feel God calling them to do for this season. Next year, we hope to come back together with a renewed sense of energy and passion to empower local families during the holiday season.
At New Hope, we feel like the greatest need right now is food. We have families in our community that are feeling the crunch after the storms and the increased cost of food is not helping. Thus, during November and December, we are stocking the shelves at ECHO and Hope for Her. Instead of gifts, we will be collecting peanut butter, jelly, pasta, spaghetti sauce, ramen noodles, cereal, canned fruit and vegetables, basic toiletries, and $10 gift cards to help families purchase meat. Our goal is to literally restock the shelves for our local mission partners who have been feeling to pinch of increased grocery prices and increased need.
6th Annual Christmas Tree Lighting
We look forward to seeing you at New Hope's 6th Annual Christmas Tree Lighting! Join us Friday, December 6th, 2024, at 7:30 PM in the New Hope sanctuary for a time of worship, we will then transition outside for the tree lighting. Take a break from the hustle and bustle to discover the true meaning of Christmas.
Enjoy free hot chocolate, cookies, and live music by the Eastern Hillsborough Community Band's Big Band! Let's come together as a community to create lasting memories and celebrate the joy of the season!

The Daily Dose of Hope is a devotional intended to provide context and reflection to the New Hope Church Bible Reading Plan. It’s our goal to read the Bible in a year together as a family of faith. Five days a week we read. Two days a week we either rest or catch up. Reading the Bible is the number one way to grow in our walk with Jesus. We have to know God’s Word to live God’s Word.
