Transformation....6 More Days!!!


It is AMAZING what has been taking place over the last 3 Sundays as we prepare to launch the Ashland Campus this Sunday September 28th @ 11:22am.

As we transform the Ashland High School into a place of worship, members of the team pray over the seats for the TRANSFORMATION GOD is going to perform in peoples lives.

That's why we do what we do!

I can't wait to see this place filled with people PRAISING and WORSHIPING our LORD and SAVIOR.

Thanks to all who have invested with their TIME, TALENT, and TREASURES!!

Blessings and peace.....Pastor Bud

Praises for the Ages!

I enjoy a lot of the modern worship music we sing.  

However, I am amazed, awed, and fascinated with the Ancient Hymns of the Church.  It is hard to wrap our minds around how profound it all is... that centuries ago our Forefathers in the Faith were singing the same words and phrases, to the same musical arrangements, that we sing today.  

And it's even more fascinating is that it is sung to the same Unchanging God, Jesus! [Hebrew 13v8]

What is your favorite Hymn? 
[vote in the right column of this blog]

If your favorite hymn isn't listed in the survey to the right - add it to the comments.

I am looking forward to uniting this week as we worship together!  Watch out A-Town, here comes OUR AMAZING GOD!

Grace and Peace,
Pastor Kevin

Different parts...Different gifts

 
Check out this picture of the new drum cage for the Ashland Campus. This was built by one of the members here at New Hope.

It really is a piece of true craftsmanship.

Seeing this picture made me think of the scriptures I was reading just this morning.


In 1 Cor 12:12-30 God tells us how we are One Body, Many Parts.


These verses remind me that we are each UNIQUELY created to serve a purpose in His body. Each of us are important to Him and to each other.

He has given us each different gifts that He wants us to use for His Glory.

And when we do this it truly is a work of art.

Blessings.....Pastor Bud
