The New Hope Cemetery Association will meet at 9:00am. in the Fellowship Hall of the New Hope Baptist Church. Come a little early- 8:30am and enjoy coffee and a continental breakfast. If you have a plot, or a family member has a plot in the cemetery, you are part of our Cemetery Association. Come participate and support this historic cemetery for your family.
We will meet in the Fellowship Hall at 4:30pm on Tuesday, March 5th. Some of the items we need to discuss:
- Collaboration with the Nominating Committee to fulfill background checks for prospective teachers who have given consent through the teacher application form. We need to determine how Nominating Committee needs get communicated to us, and how we communicate with applicant and Nominating Committee with background results.
- Determine who needs CPR training. (We have a scheduled CPR training session on Saturday, April 6 here at NHBC)
- We need to look at posting our church rules regarding carrying weapons, concealed or otherwise.
- We need to look at a weekly rotation of “on duty” safety persons in the church. We need substitutes in case of illness, etc.
- We have a new camera systems not yet installed to look outside the children/youth building. Placement, installation, etc.
- We need to determine dates and plans for at least bi-annual sexual abuse training for teachers, helpers, etc.

If you have a loved one buried in the New Hope Cemetery or have purchased lots for future burial, you are considered a member. We encourage involvement and attendance at the two Annual Meetings the first Saturday in May and the first Saturday in November. The meetings are brief and address current concerns and provide transparency of resource and expenditure. We hope to see you at this next meeting date! Please feel free to visit the cemetery and decorate a gravesite if you wish after the meeting.
