Building relationships with God and others through the Hope that is in Jesus Christ.

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

"A Letter from the New Guy"
I’ll start this letter with a secret confession. Please
don’t tell anyone, but I like Broadway musicals. My
wife and I recently went to see Jesus Christ Superstar
and I liked it more than she did! Let me hasten to add
that I like football more than musicals and that I could
live without Dancing with the Stars. I had to add that
so I didn’t tarnish my masculine image too much.
When I move to a new church, the words from The
King and I by Rodgers and Hammerstein always come
to mind.
Getting to know you, getting to know all about you. Getting to like you, getting to hope you like me.
Getting to know you, putting it my way,
But nicely,
You are precisely,
My cup of tea.
You might wonder how I have decided that New
Hope United Methodist Church is “my cup of tea”.
Well, I did visit the church on the sly and really
enjoyed both worship services. My first impression is
that New Hope is a church that is warm and friendly.
I also discovered that youth and children are a vital part
of the church and I applaud that. And how could I fail
to be impressed with the talented musicians who sang
and played their instruments to the glory of God?
That rich worship experience left me excited and
thankful to have the opportunity to serve as your pastor.
Since that Sunday you have all been in my thoughts
and prayers. The most important goal I have in coming
to New Hope is to get to know you and allow you to
know me. It is my desire to be approachable and
available to everyone at New Hope, from the youngest
to the oldest. This will allow these words from the
King and I to become a reality:

Getting to know you,
Getting to feel free and easy
When I am with you,
Getting to know what to say
Haven't you noticed
Suddenly I'm bright and breezy
Because of all the beautiful and new
Things I'm learning about you
Day by day.
