Not too late to join....As a church family, we want to come alongside those who are hurting, offering compassion, prayer, and support as we trust God to bring comfort and healing. Grief Share is a support group, in a small group setting, that equips one with tips and strategies dealing with the aftermath of loss with the opportunity to share with others as a support through 13-week sessions utilizing a workbook as a guide. This group meets on Mondays starting June 15th, through September 7th, at New Life Community Church (Atwater) from 5 pm to 7 pm. Please contact the church office (NLCC) at 209.358.8885 for more information.

The Hope's Global Outreach (GO) Team will be cooking dinner at the D Street Homeless Shelter (Merced) on Monday, June 22nd, at 5 pm – 7 pm. If you have a heart for the homeless and would like to help donate dessert or drinks, serve, cook and / or have questions about this ministry opportunity, please contact Corky Schroeder by text at 209-658-4829 or email at schroedercorky@gmail.com.

The Sesh (grades 6-12), will be meeting on Sunday, June 28th, in the Fellowship Hall immediately following the worship music (11 am worship gathering). There will be a time of learning led by Ernesto Granados. Please encourage your child(ren) to bring their Bible and invite their friends. For more information contact James Kendall (Student Pastor) at youth@thehope.live.

Ladies, join us at 9 am in the Fellowship Hall for "Path to Purpose", a study on the book of Ecclesiastes starting July 2nd. The book of Ecclesiastes reveals the despair and dissatisfaction that comes from a life apart from God and seeking after empty pursuits. Throughout this study, you will learn the answers to common questions many ask today such as, “What is my purpose on earth?” and “What is the purpose of life?” Through Solomon’s teachings, you will receive wisdom from his quest for meaning and satisfaction and see how the path to purpose is found in Jesus Christ. Please contact Janet at office@thehope.live to purchase the study or if you have questions. 

Calling all men! Join us for breakfast and a time of fellowship and learning as we dive into a series of teachings on what a biblical man looks like on Saturday, July 11th, at 8 am to 9:30 am in the Fireside Room. Our society and churches are longing for men to step into their God-given roles and lead their families and be strong leaders in their communities, and churches. We will be exploring what this looks like for us today by examining what the Word of God says about it.

2nd Sunday Prayer will be held on Sunday, July 12th. Join us in the Fireside Room at 5:30 pm - 6:30 pm as we gather to pray for our church, our community and prayer needs. For questions, contact Scott Speidel at 209.628.6521.

Faith City Youth (middle school & high school students) meet every Sunday from 1 pm to 3 pm in the Fellowship Hall at The Hope. The youth come together to dive into God’s Word led by James Kendall (Student Pastor), grow in their relationship with Jesus, build meaningful connections with one another, and have fun through games and fellowship. Please encourage your child to bring their Bible and invite their friends. For more information contact James Kendall at youth@thehope.live.

On Sunday, August 30th, we will celebrate Baptism Sunday! If you have placed your trust in Jesus as Lord and Savior but have not yet been baptized, we invite you to take this important next step in your faith journey. Baptism is a public profession of an inward decision to follow Jesus. It's a powerful way to declare, "I belong to Christ!" and celebrate the new life He has given you. For over two thousand years, Christians have embraced baptism as an outward expression of their faith and commitment to Jesus. If the Holy Spirit is prompting you to take this step, please register here today. We can't wait to celebrate with you and your church family.
