from the desk of

pastor christopher e. cabiness October 23, 2016 Greetings New Hope Family & Friends, As we celebrate our 129th Anniversary of our beloved New Hope Missionary Baptist Church, I am blessed to be a part of such a legacy as New Hope, for truly the song of history will sing on for years to come. It has been such an honor for me to serve as Pastor of this church family for the past 9 years.

Since 1887, New Hope has truly been a testament of God’s faithfulness. With a church of many generations, our Church Family is on a quest to bring all voices of generations together in order to bring oneness. I’ve definitely tried to lead with passion in teaching the supremacy of God and His Kingdom. It is my prayer that we will continue in all things for the joy of all people through Jesus Christ, that His Kingdom--and will--will be done not only in our lives, but the lives of those in whom God is calling us to lead and serve.

Today, we celebrate 129 years of “Striving in Kingdom Service” and traditions that are based on worship services designed to speak to the generations that gather, Kingdom teachings, and sustained outreach services that speak to the vision of our church; that is to lead and serve those who find themselves counted among the least, the last, and lost. We celebrate the fact that New Hope has maintained an unfailing love and passion in order to ensure that the next generation hears about the mercy and grace of God and how to demonstrate our love of God through community (common – unity).

It is our, Lady Katina and my, prayer that God continues to bless and keep you. May God smile on you and gift you with abundant wealth in body, soul, and spirit. Lastly, may God continue to prosper you.

Forever Grateful,

Christopher E. Cabiness Christopher E. Cabiness
