Dear friends and neighbours,

It is a joy and a privilege to serve our beautiful local community through our church. We know that life can bring many different challenges — worries about finances, health, family relationships, loneliness, grief, or simply the busyness and pressures of everyday life. If you’re carrying any of these concerns, please know that you are not alone.At the heart of our faith is the belief that God meets us exactly where we are. He offers peace when we feel anxious, comfort when life feels overwhelming, light when things seem dark, and hope when the way ahead feels uncertain.As a church, we regularly pray for the homes and families on our estate, and we care deeply about the wellbeing of our neighbours. Whether you need a listening ear, prayer, encouragement, practical support, or simply someone to talk to, we are here for you — whatever your background, situation, or stage of life.If you’re looking for a place of belonging, you would be very welcome to join us. You’ll find friendly faces, a warm drink, and a community that genuinely cares — a space where people of all ages can feel supported, valued, and at home.From all of us at New Hope Church, may you know peace in your home, hope in your heart, and gentle reminders in everyday life that God is closer than you think.

Jesus loves you — Jesus is the Lord of all.

Yours in God’s Service

Rev Mark Witherden
