Jason Decena ASSOCIATE PASTOR

Welcome to New Hope! Today, we conclude our message series called Keep Calm and Carry On.

There are things in life that we don't actively choose for ourselves: where or when we're born, who our family is, certain circumstances surrounding us. So

when we find ourselves in situations that we didn't choose, how do we move forward in a way that honors God and others?

This week, we will take a look at the story of Nehemiah and see what God may be telling us about how to carry on in the midst of uncertain times.

After the service, learn more about our church in Seven Minutes or Less, a brief information session in the front left of the worship center.

We're here to help you grow in your spiritual journey, so let us know if there is anything we can do to support you.
