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.
This is a youth sponsored dinner for youth and their parents. The children’s ministry and nursery are opened to your children during this time. We want you to get to know us better as we participate together in providing opportunities for spiritual growth for our students. There is no charge for this catered meal which will be served in the youth area at 6:30pm.
New Hope Baptist Church was established in 1875, and will celebrate its 144th birthday. Come join us on this special Sunday where we celebrate our Lord and His favor upon this wonderful family church.
Sunday “Dinner on the Grounds”- bring a side dish; the church is supplying all the meat. Everyone is invited! Bring friends, neighbors, and your family!
Afternoon Games- we will have a Texas “42” tournament; a Corn-Hole tournament; a Horse-Shoe tournament; volleyball, board games, etc. Come enjoy the fun!
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.
There will be a luncheon in the Fellowship Hall for the family immediately following the funeral service. The graveside will be at 3:00pm at Mt Olivet. Visitation will be at Mt Olivet on Tuesday evening from 6:00pm – 8:00 pm.
We do ask, for the sake of the most vulnerable, that human contact be limited and handshakes be avoided. We are practicing fist bumps and waving throughout our congregation. We can’t wait for this COVID-19 threat to pass so that we can resume with normal human touch.
