A lectionary is a plan of Scripture readings throughout the Christian year, which support the themes of our celebrations like Christmas and Easter and also provide the church a way to hear a large portion of the Scriptures read aloud. The Revised Common Lectionary is used by Protestant and evangelical churches all over the world, and each week it provides an Old Testament reading, a psalm, an Epistle (New Testament letter), and a Gospel reading. New Hope has been following the readings for Year B (Second year of the three-year schedule), which you can find, along with related resources, at this site: Year B - Revised Common Lectionary (vanderbilt.edu).
In the fall of 2022, we transitioned into a new monthly rhythm for worship services. Our plan was developed in concert with our mission statement.
1st Sundays - “Love God” - The Lord’s Supper (a.k.a. Communion) and personal and corporate renewal as worship.
2nd Sundays - “Serve the World” - Outreach oriented and hands-on: Community engagement as worship.
3rd & 4th Sundays - “Love Each Other” - A traditional (to New Hope) corporate service as worship.
All services are oriented around worship with a full-bodied experience as our goal. This includes singing, prayer, testimonies, reading scripture, greeting each other, times of silence and reflection, and most Sundays will include a proclamation of the Word (a.k.a. sermon).

Christmas marks the moment where God's promise was fulfilled and love took form, tiny fingers and all. It is a moment that deserves our full attention and praise. We put Worship Fully as AC's first tenet because we believe the level of our involvement at Christmas is based entirely on how much we are celebrating Christ's birth. He deserves celebration; one that is creative, loud and directs every heart His way.
