Five new Care Groups began meeting in the fall of 2008, with the members of the Ministry Leaders Team each hosting a group for dinner in their homes. Because of the many new people who have begun attending New Hope over the past 3 months, something needed to be done to provide opportunity for us to get to know each other better. We have divided the entire list of all members and attenders into five Care Groups. Each group will meet at least once each month for a meal, a group project, or a time of study and prayer. Our goal is to see New Hope Church growing larger through outreach as well as growing warmer through fellowship.
