Fellowship at New Hempstead

During this time of Physical Distancing, meeting in person for Christian Fellowship is, unfortunately, aspirational. We support one another through phone calls and email messages. But, seeing pictures of the congregation enjoying each other’s company reminds us the God will bring us through this time as he has brought other generations through trials.

We invite you to join us any Sunday morning for Worship followed by a fellowship time. Join us for snacks and conversation after every Sunday Worship service. The Deacons and other volunteers put out a variety of different foods each week for you to sample and enjoy.
