You have called to us in the need of our sisters and brothers, and we have too often passed unheeding on our way in the pride our hearts, and in our unwillingness to repent we have turned away from the cross of Christ, and have grieved your Holy Spirit. Forgive us, O Lord. Amen. INDIVIDUAL CONFESSION (Confess your sins in silent prayer) THE ASSURANCE OF PARDON 1 John 1:5-7 5 This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all. 6 If we claim to have fellowship with him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live out the truth. 7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin. *THE GLORIA PATRI #623 CHILDRENS TIME (Children may come to the stage at this time.

Welcome to Worship
elcome to New Hope Church, now into our third century serving God! If you are visiting, you will discover a loving, spirit-filled church family. Here is some helpful information as you join us in worship today: All who worship here are equals in the sight of God, regardless of race, age, gender, physical disability or religious affiliation. Communion, when celebrated, is open to all who profess Christ as Lord and Savior, whether affiliated with this church or not. Children may partake of Communion as well, if parents approve. A nursery is available during the service; please see a greeter for directions. (This is for infants and children up to 3 years of age.) Handicap-accessible restrooms are located off the narthex (main foyer) and adjacent to the entrance lobby in the Fellowship Hall/Gym. Please complete the tear-off attendance slip attached to the bulletin and drop it in the offering plate so we will have a record of your visit with us today. Thank you for remembering to silence your cell phone during the service. We ask that there be no food or beverages in the sanctuary, please. If you arrived as a visitor we hope that you leave as a friend and worship with us often! New Hope Church exists to: Glorify God in worship and rejoice in our life together; Share the Good News of the Gospel in word and deed; Reach as many as we can with the saving love of Jesus; Help each person grow toward Christian maturity, and find their place of service in the church and in the world.

The 2014 Valentines Banquet will be held on February 16th from 5-7 pm. We have the banquet after Valentines Day so that our mission team going to Haiti (6th-14th) will be back and be able to join us. This has been a long standing tradition in the church and this years banquet will be the best yet. As in past years, we will be having Italian food served by the New Hope men. After dinner we always have some form of entertainment for our adults and we will have a movie with popcorn for our children in the room where they have Children's Church. We invite everyone to come out and bring friends for a great time of food and fellowship. Please let the staff know if a nursery is needed. Attendance Goal of 100 for 2014. Our attendance was between 70 and 75 the four Sundays in January. Help us reach a short-term goal to minister to 80 in February. Everyone try to bring at least one. This goal set by the church Session is entirely possible, but it will take a strong commitment on the part of every member of our congregation. Please see the Pastors Notes on the church website for suggestions from him on how to work toward this goal. Compassionate Hands. This program that benefits the homeless community of Lebanon continues to do good work here at New Hope. Call Alene or Lee Ann if you would like to help or the church at 444-7020. Stephen Ministry - Got a burden? You dont have to carry that burden alone. You can have a STEPHEN MINISTER who will spend time with you, listen to you, and walk beside you. If you or someone you know is interested in receiving care through the Stephen Ministry program at New Hope, please contact the pastor through the Church office at (615) 449-7020 and request that a Stephen minister contact you.

Matthew 5:1-12 New International Version (NIV) Introduction to the Sermon on the Mount 5 Now when Jesus saw the crowds, he went up on a mountainside and sat down. His disciples came to him, 2 and he began to teach them. The Beatitudes He said: 3 Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 4 Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. 5 Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth. 6 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled. 7 Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy. 8 Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God. 9 Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God. 10 Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 11 Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. 12 Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
