  • Ministry of the Month - New Life Mission

    Ministry of the Month- New Life Mission- Mission Statement: In a Christ-centered environment, we equip homeless women with children to transform their families for generations. Through education, accountability, and goal advancement, our program empowers families to become self-sufficient and break the cycle of homelessness. Our ReNewed Life Program serves women with children who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless. We are not an emergency shelter or a temporary housing solution. We are a four- phase residential program that consists of education, accountability and goal    advancement – all in a Christ-centered environment. $50 provides breakfast, lunch and snacks for 1 child for 1 week, $100 provides meals, activities and field trips for 1 teenager for 1 week, $250 provides meals for 5 children for 1 week. When children are cared for in a safe, loving environment, our moms are able to focus on setting goals to move their families forward. By providing no-cost childcare to the families in our program, we are able to remove the barrier many women face in finding safe, affordable care for their little ones. At the Transformed Shop- We are helping women move beyond their experiences of homelessness, trauma and abuse to find hope, healing and creativity.

  • Habitat for Humanity News

    • It’s getting close to Dedication Day for a Habitat home!  One of the ways Hope can help is by doing post-construction cleaning to help prepare homes for dedication; in recent years onsite work for Habitat has been limited, and we are excited to have this opportunity to work at a Habitat home. Hope has been invited to help with cleaning on June 4 at 2618 Lipscomb St., Melbourne, 32901 (the 3D printed home). Cleaning and check-in will begin at 9 a.m., and you are invited to bring your favorite cleaning tools if you wish. Please sign on the signup sheet in the narthex to indicate that you intend to help with cleaning. Contact Nancy Roberts at 804-513-5375 if you have questions or need more information. Thank you so much for your support of Habitat and for serving our community!

Pastor plans to be there to present a cross, cleaning basket, and Walmart gift card from Hope. Everyone is invited to attend this exciting event!

  • Thrivent Action Teams-Help Wanted!

    Thrivent Coordinator- As many of you know, Linda Miller has been coordinating Thrivent cards for various Hope Ministries for many years now. Unfortunately, she will be moving by the end of this summer and will no longer provide this service for Hope. We thank her immensely for all the time, dedication and organization she has provided for Hope.  We have been able to use Thrivent cards for well over $15,000 a year on projects, events and missions throughout our community and beyond. We are looking for someone to step up and step into this job title to ensure our Thrivent cards are used appropriately throughout the year.  We have systems in place to make this transition go as smoothly as possible.   If you would be interested in taking on this task please contact Tori Cooper.  Thrivent is vital to our Mission success here at Hope.

     

    Thrivent Cards- In addition, if you are NOT a Thrivent member and would like more information, please contact Linda Miller or Tori Cooper.  If you a NEW Hope member and ARE a Thrivent member please inform us so that we can get you on our supporters list. In the last two years, due to those who have passed on to the Lord or those who have or will be moving we have lost roughly 20 Thrivent cards which makes a big impact on our outreach missions balance each year. Thank You for your continued support!
