75th Anniversary Celebration!
June 22- 24, 2007
Thank you to everyone who attended our Anniversary Celebration! It was a very special time for our NHF church family. We reaquainted with old friends and made many new friends. What a blessing to welcome Rev. John and Bonnie Eller, Rev. Norman Hale, Rev. Ed and Lori Hawkins, Rev. T.R. and Rosalee Shepherd, and Rev. Steve and Sue Bookout. It was heartwarming to hear all the Valley Park and Evangel stories and to catch up on where their lives are now. A very special thank you to Rev. Thomas and Shirley Trask for attending and sharing a powerful message to our congregation. We have received many, many wonderful comments and words of appreciation from those who attended and enjoyed the weekend.
We wish to extend our appreciation to those who pioneered our church 75 years ago and to those who have been a part of this great heritage that has brought us to where we are today. We feel this celebration has given us a look into our past and an understanding of our Godly heritage. The torch has been passed to New Hope Fellowship and we carry it with honor as we continue in God's service for a new generation!
