New Hope’s weekly worship services are every Sunday morning from 10:30am to 11:45am. Our “little, white, New England-esque” Chapel seats about 170 people and has plenty of parking, is handicap accessible, and is easily located right near routes 24, 495, 106 and 138 in South Easton, MA. A typical Sunday morning would start with several praise and worship songs, have some time for sharing announcement and praises and prayer requests, include scripture reading and singing a hymn, a time for our congregation to give to support our ministries, and a sermon geared toward making God’s Word applicable to our daily lives. The focus of each and every service is for us to give thanks to God and show our gratitude for all He’s done, and for us to seek Him out to submit our hearts and minds to Him to let Him speak to us and guide us. Our services are aimed at being “worship” in every sense of the word, and we truly feel the presence of God’s Spirit every time we come together to honor Him and our Lord, Jesus Christ.
Our church family on most Sundays is somewhere around 80-90 people of all ages, ethnic backgrounds, and economic places. There are a ton of babies in the nursery (where we have wonderful, skilled, and CORI checked nursery workers every week), many children in Sunday School, and a group of adults who are focused on hearing God’s Word and working together to follow His will in their lives. There is a group of teenagers who make up the Jr./Sr. High Youth Group, as well as many singles of both older and younger ages. Basically no matter what place of life you are in, you will find others like yourself that you can connect with and build friendships with and grow in Faith together with.
There will be some people dressed very casually, and some dressed in their Sunday best. Feel free to wear jean or a suit or anything in between…you’ll find that you fit into the setting just fine either way. The service itself is more relaxed than formal, and there will often be moments of laughter and interaction between those leading the service and those in the congregation. In everything we look to keep the balance between traditional and contemporary, between formal and casual, and between youthful and mature. We hope that you come to visit us to experience the love and worship we enjoy each week. Our services really are a special time, and we’d love to have you join us. Hopefully this helps you get to know us better and we’ll look forward to seeing you soon!
