Please join us for the New Year’s Eve Service on Dec. 31 at 7 PM in the New Hope Chapel. This will be a great time of worship and prayer as we thank God for His faithfulness for the past year, and welcome 2025 in anticipation of blessings to come!
We want to see our people come together to linger in God’s presence, waiting upon the Lord and witnessing the Spirit at work in our midst, as we seek him through fasting and prayer for an extended period of time.
On Friday, Jan. 3, we will gather from 7 PM to midnight, then gather again the following morning (Saturday, Jan. 4) from 8 AM to noon, in Room #308.
This will be an open praying space with an ebb and flow of praise and prayer, reading the word and praying with the word, praying alone, as well as praying together in small and large groups.
You are encouraged to stay on throughout the evening on Friday and the morning on Saturday, but feel free to join us for only a portion of the event as well.
As we will be fasting together, please remember to bring your own water bottles (a water fountain is available at church). We will break the fast at noon on Saturday by having congee together.
There will be no childcare, but a room adjacent to the praying space will be available for parents with children to participate in the worship and praying.
