Time to indulge yourself! The Pie Social will take place in the church from 11:00 am until all the pie is sold out. Funds collected will go toward the restoration of the historic church building. As you are out doing the Hidden Studios Art Tour and attending the famous working artist studios, we welcome you to stop by and have some pie, ice cream and a beverage. Both pie slices and whole pies are available to go. The church and cemetery are along the tour route, located within this beautiful rural and peaceful countryside.

 The New Hope 4th of July parade is an annual parade that ends at South New Hope Church. Come join the other spectators. It is a parade that you will never forget. The church will be open prior to the start of the parade, so it is a great opportunity to go inside or stroll the cemetery grounds before and after the parade. Water, soda, popcorn, and ice cream will be available on the grounds.

Congratulations to Stormy Gerndt and Andrew Poeschel as they begin their new life together. Their wedding on June 11th was a proud day for all involved.  We at SNH wish them the best that life together can bring.
