Operation Christmas Child Shoebox Collection
Millions of people take time every fall to carefully shop for and pack shoeboxes. These simple gifts bring great joy as children and their families learn about the true meaning of Christmas. You can pack a shoebox online for $25 per box or you can create your own box and drop it off at church. Either way, you will make a difference in a child's life.
All shoeboxes are due no later than November 20, 20221.

Harvest of Hope
Harvest of Hope will provide the opportunity for our New Hope Family to collect and deliver Thanksgiving Meals to families in need right here in Brandon and our surrounding communities.
Partnering with Hope for Her (formerly known as the Women's Resource Center) we are asking for donations, whether it is your time, talents, or your resources, to support Harvest of Hope by purchasing items from the shopping list, SERVING at our meal packing and delivery day or better yet doing all three!
Last year we provided 300 meal boxes to families across the Brandon area with the support of our New Hope Family. This year we have set a goal of 300 boxes - let’s do this New Hope!

COVID-19 Update for June 25, 2021
Face Covering Requirements effective June 25, 2021
June 25, 2021
An important Face Covering Update from New Hope:
Indoor and outdoor mask wearing is optional for those fully vaccinated while masks are encouraged for unvaccinated or immune-compromised persons.
We care about the safety and well-being of every individual who is part of our extended church family. We trust that all who attend our worship services and other campus events will honor these guidelines with integrity and compassion.
For the time being, we will continue with other COVID-19 safety guidelines. These include social distancing for most gatherings, using electronic check-in before worship services, and extensive cleaning before and after events.
For those who still are not comfortable with in-person gatherings, our online campus will continue to stay dynamic and active.
Thank you for your patience as we have navigated the difficulties of the last year.
Blessings and Peace,
Pastor Vicki

Face Covering Update for May 15, 2021
Over the past several days both the CDC and the Florida Conference of the UMC updated their recommendations for vaccinated individuals wearing masks indoors. Considering these changes, New Hope will reevaluate our mask policy this coming week as well. The executive team will draft a proposal to be voted on by the leadership team very soon. Whatever changes are made will be widely communicated with all.
Pastor Vicki Harrison
Be sure you have completed our Communication Survey. Updates will be sent out via our weekly e-newsletter and social media channels.
We are continuing to:
Sanitize all common areas before and after services
Require all attenders over the age of seven (7) to wear a mask while on campus
Adhere to social distancing guidelines
Provide overflow worship space for each service
Highly recommend that we continue with no congregational singing
New Hope is also committed to provide an engaging and Spirit-filled online worship experience to allow our church family the opportunity to stay connected each week without venturing out to our campus locations. For those who do not yet feel comfortable returning to campus we hope that you will join us online each week and connect with others through our moderation and interactive services.

Lenten Devotional - Happy Easter
Happy Easter
Happy Easter!
Luke 24:6-7, He isn’t here! He is risen from the dead! Remember what he told you back in Galilee, that the Son of Man must be betrayed into the hands of sinful men and be crucified, and that he would rise again on the third day.
Matthew 28:5-6, Then the angel spoke to the women. “Don’t be afraid!” he said. “I know you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He isn’t here! He is risen from the dead, just as he said would happen. Come, see where his body was lying.
Now, sing with joy and passion as we praise our risen Savior today!
