SUNDAY SCHOOL

9:15 Sunday School Class

10:45 K.I.D.S. Church (Kids in Divine Service)

New Hope kids are joining their parents and grandparents on a 31-week journey through God's Word. Utilizing "The Story" -- an abridged edition of the Bible written by Max Lucado and Randy Frazee -- this adventure takes families on a weekly visit to books of the Bible, beginning in Genesis and traveling through Revelation.  Each grade level from pre-kindergarten through 6th grade has engaging, age-appropriate storybooks, trading cards, and activities to help the children understand God's love for and care of His beloved children through His promise in the Old Testament and His fulfillment of that promise in the New Testament.  

During this family centered study both services will use the same curriculum.  Our weekly lessons will parallel those of Pastor Tim's, providing family members with similar Biblical knowledge and messages each week.  Our desire is to provide an environment in which your child will come to know and understand the love, mercy and grace that God has for each of them.

In addition, the children learn Bible points and Life Application Verses and Skills beginning in pre-kindergaraten. Memorizing and understanding these essential verses and skills provides the children with a solid foundation built on God's Word before they move on to junior high and high school. 

Your children are precious to us.  We are blessed to have gifted teachers and helpers on our team who feel called by God to serve them.  It is our goal to not only equip children with Biblical knowledge, but to make it personal so that each year they develop a deeper understanding of God's plan and purpose for their lives.  

If you are a vistor or new to our Sunday School program, please ask someone to direct you my way so that I can introduce your children to their teachers and classmates.  

Thank you,

OTTERS-PreK-4th grades Wednesday Night Program

Our purpose for OTTERS is to teach children about Christ, serving God and loving others, through memorization and study. I want to help implement the Word of God in their minds. There will be curriculum for Pre-K, Kindergarten, First, Second, Third and Fourth grades, worship music, games and treats. An awards store will be in place to motivate them.

We have teachers that love God and are happy to teach. As we begin this new program we will be hard at work improving on our ideas. If you are willing to help, our team is excited and open to suggestions. We are looking forward to seeing your kids on Wednesdays at 7pm.

OTTERS DIVING INTO GODS WORD!

Vacation Bible School

This year VBS begins on Sunday, June 24 and ends on Thursday, June 28, 2012

It is 6:00 pm - 8:30 pm 

$20 per child or $50 for a family of three or more.

Vacation Bible School is one week during June that is dedicated to the children of New Hope and their community. It is a time where children ages of Pre-k to 6th grade can come learn about Jesus in a fun and friendly environment through songs, games and story telling. 

This year's VBS theme is, Trust God! At Sky VBS, kids discover that by trusting God, everything is possible. Each day, kids learn a single Bible Point that is reinforced with a Bible verse and Bible story–which makes it super easy to teach and simple enough that your kids will remember what they learned.
