Dear Visitor to New Hope’s Website,

We want to warmly welcome you to our website. New Hope is a theologically diverse congregation that values traveling light and trusting God. That means we are tolerant of those who may not see the world or one’s relationship to God in exactly the same way. It also means that we put a strong emphasis on discipleship as it is lived out in service to others.

We value meaningful blended worship that includes quality music. We value one another as part of a community which includes all ages. Our strengths include our commitment to others in need, our youth program for middle and high school youth, and the camping and hiking that is part of who we are.

We invite you to see us up close and personal any Sunday! May God bless you as you search for a community of faith where you can be fed and where you can serve.

Grace and peace,

Anne and David Morgan, Co-Pastors

Obscure Texts with Powerful Meaning:
A Bible Study for Lay People

The Bible contains a number of texts that we most likely have never studied but that speak strongly and profoundly into the lives we are living today. Genesis 5 and 38, Deuteronomy 8 and 17:14-20, Judges 9:7-15, 2 Samuel 13-14, Psalm 72 — these are a few. In this course, we will mine the depths of these ancient accounts and realize their pertinence for now. We will see that the Bible is not a dead book from a long-gone era, but a living interpretation of what happens every day in our midst.

The teacher will be Jim Chatham, who led the 10-week lay Bible course at Louisville Presbyterian Theological Seminary for 28 years, and has taught Bible courses in numerous other locations including the College for Seniors. He will use the New RSV translation of the Bible; please bring whatever version you have.
