We’re excited to welcome missionaries Roy & Julie Eberhardt to New Hope on Sunday, Oct. 6th.  They will share of their work with Wycliffe Bible Translators and the Cuicatec people of Oaxaca, Mexico.  Roy and Julie have ministered for many years to the people there and have made great strides in Bible translation through the Cuicatec Project.  They currently ask for prayers for the completion of the New Testament and publishing literacy materials in order that these people can read and write their own language as well as read the New Testament.  New Hope Community Church looks forward to welcoming the Eberhardts on Oct. 6, which is also World Communion Sunday.  What a privilege to share the Lord’s Table with Christians around the world as well as our missionary partners, Roy & Julie.  Worship begins at 9:30 AM and all are welcome!
