MESSAGE FROM NEW HOPE LEADERSHIP

Greetings,

As you celebrate the life of our beloved, take time to allow your New Hope family to be a part of your healing process. Take time to personally mourn, but also become involved in the necessary steps to bring closure to your loss. I hope that the following information will relieve some of the pressure that you may be feeling. No one is truly prepared to deal with these types of situations, but allow us to help.

Your church family would like to let you know that we share in the loss of your loved one. Know that your church family loves you, we bless you and we are here as support and comfort for you and your family.

God knows that we grieve, understands our sorrow, and comforts us. He does not promise to preserve us from grief, but to help us through it. Take the time to read through this information and do not hesitate to call the church office if there are any questions or anything that we can do.

In Loving Care,
New Hope MBC Pastor and Deacons
