If you are thinking of joining us in-person for weekend worship, you may wonder what that might look like? Check out those details below and if you any questions please let us know!
We also recognize that some people might not be ready or able to meet in person. So, we invite you to join us for service on our Livestream on Saturday nights and Sunday mornings. You can find these on our Facebook page, YouTube channel, and our website homepage by clicking “Watch Live”.
SERVICE INFO
SERVICE TIMES. Services are being held on Saturdays at 6pm and Sundays at 10am.
Masks. Our New York State officials came out with new guidance recently that seems to indicate that if a person has been fully vaccinated they do not have to wear a mask anymore. This follows similar guidance that we were given on a Federal level by the CDC. Since we are not able to determine who has and has not been vaccinated, we are no longer able to ask people to wear masks. We will leave that up to the individual. (To provide the highest level of care for our children, we will ask our Children's ministry leaders and workers to continue wearing masks until we receive further guidance that no one has to wear a mask any longer whether vaccinated or not.)
Some in our church family will continue to wear masks for different reasons. They haven’t had the vaccine. They are in the middle of their 2 vaccine doses. They are still not comfortable with taking the mask off yet. They are serving our children, etc. We have talked recently about how End Times living will bring us challenging situations to face together. Let’s give room for each person and family to navigate through this the best they can, and let’s continue to be an example to a world that so desperately needs to see and hear God’s Good News through us!
FINDING A SEAT. When you come through the Foyer and enter the Worship Room, there will be an usher to assist you with finding a seat if you need help.
WORSHIP GUIDE/SERMON NOTES. These will continue to be available by clicking on “Weekend Worship Materials” on our website’s homepage. Please bring your own notebook and pens for note-taking.
DIGITAL COMMUNICATION CARD. If you’re new to New Hope, have a prayer request, need to update your information, or want to communicate anything else with us, go to The Hub to fill out an online communication card.
BIBLES. As always, we will provide Scripture references on the screen, but we do encourage you to bring a Bible. If you are in need of a Bible, please let an Usher know, and we will be happy to provide you a Bible to use.
TITHES & OFFERINGS. You may give your offering at the service in one of the black boxes on the back wall as you leave the Worship Room, or you can continue to give online, by text (518-263-0001), or by check in the mail (454 Corinth Road, Queensbury, NY, 12804).
KiDz Church Plan
PRE-REGISTRATION - We encourage parents to pre-register your children at The Hub (sharingnewhope.org/preregistration), but we will also have the ability to register children when they arrive for those who don't register ahead of time.
REGISTRATION DESK - When you enter the Foyer from the front doors, the registration desk will be on the far left side of the room. If you have pre-registered, you can pick up your child’s name tag there. If you have not pre-registered, you can register them there.
NURSERY - The nursery is for those 1 year old and under and at this time we are able to welcome 8 babies for each service.
TODDLER ROOM - We have a Toddler Room available during each service. In this room, across from the nursery, is where your 2 and 3 year-olds are able to enjoy their class! At this time we are able to welcome 10 toddlers for each service..
SEATING - Children will be appropriately spaced from other children. However, children in the same family will be allowed to sit together.
MASKS - To provide the highest level of care for our children, we will ask our Children's ministry leaders and workers to continue wearing masks until we receive further guidance that no one has to wear a mask any longer whether vaccinated or not.
Kids love Kids Church! Parents are welcome to bring younger children into the worship service if you would like. We have play packs available for the younger kids at check-in!
