Matthew 25: 31-40
31 “When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then he will sit on his glorious throne. 32 Before him will be gathered all the nations, and he will separate people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. 33 And he will place the sheep on his right, but the goats on the left. 34 Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. 35 For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, 36 I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me.’ 37 Then the righteous will answer him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink? 38 And when did we see you a stranger and welcome you, or naked and clothe you? 39 And when did we see you sick or in prison and visit you?’ 40 And the King will answer them, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers,[f] you did it to me.’

Due to your generosity and the compassion of many other believers like you, the people in Jackson, Mississippi have more than enough water to suit their needs. In addition, the water provided by the city of Jackson has been restored to pre-crisis status.

The Best on Earth:
A Veteran's Day Tribute
If someone has done military service,
They earn the title "veteran," and more;
They earn our deep respect and admiration;
That they are special no one can ignore.
They sacrificed the comforts we enjoy;
The list is long of all the things they gave.
Our veterans are extraordinary people;
They’re loyal, dedicated, true, and brave.
When terror and invasion were real threats,
They showed us they could handle any storm.
We owe our freedoms and our very lives
To our veterans, who served in uniform.
Our veterans should be celebrities;
They’re exceptional; no other group compares.
We’re grateful for the many things they’ve done;
They’re always in our hearts and in our prayers.
We owe our veterans support and friendship;
Let no one ever question what they’re worth.
These men and women served us and our country,
Our veterans--the very best on earth.

Returning to In-Person Worship Services
To: The Members of the New Hope Baptist Church
Re: Returning to In-Person Worship Services
Greetings in the name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ! I have missed seeing you all in person! I am greatly looking forward to gathering for in-person Sunday morning worship. If you have not already heard, NHBC will return to "in-person" worship service on Sunday, June 13, 2021. All our services will continue to be available on Facebook, Youtube, and www.newhopebr.com. These online services will continue going forward in perpetuity because we have had a great response to our online presence. However, if you are sick or in an at-risk group or away from home, you will still be able to worship with us online. We also want everyone to be safe when considering returning to in-person worship services. If you feel ill or have been exposed to someone who is not feeling well, we encourage you to stay safe, stay home and participate in worship online. If you are not comfortable or ready to return to in-person worship, we ask that you prayerfully continue to worship with us virtually.
This letter is also to inform everyone that NHBC will be operating under specific because guidelines and protocols for in-person worship services.
Here are some of the essential guidelines that will directly affect everyone attending services:
- Everyone will be subject to temperature checks and COVID-19 screening questions upon arrival.
- Everyone will be expected to wear a mask when attending worship. If anyone forgets their mask, we will have extra available at the door.
- There will be several sanitizing stations available throughout the building.
- Social distancing rules of 3' apart will be practiced.
- The seating in the sanctuary has been rearranged to facilitate physical distancing.
- Families will be allowed to sit together.
- Initial worship services will be “contact-free.” We will be taking steps to reduce the amount of physical contact between us. For example, reducing the number of surfaces touched by multiple people (hymnals, bulletins, offering baskets, etc.) and eliminating before and after worship gathering areas.
- We also regret to inform the young parents of our congregation that we will not have children’s church or the nursery available at this time.
Other guidelines will affect our worship experience, but these are the major ones that we wanted to make sure you knew before returning to the sanctuary. I want to assure everyone that much thought, consideration, and prayer went into these decisions.
We humbly ask that everyone show patience during this time. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the church office at 225-926-0246 or by email at newhope5856@gmail.com.
Blessings in Christ,
Pastor Leo D. Cyrus, Sr.

Southern University GenCyber Youth Camp
WHAT IS THE CYBERSECURITY YOUTH CAMP?
A FREE 5-day camp where students will learn about the exciting world of cybersecurity: each day, campers will participate in many hands-on computer activities to learn about different cybersecurity topics. The goals of the program are to increase interest in cybersecurity careers and diversity in the cybersecurity workforce of the nation, help all students understand correct and safe online behavior, and how they can be good digital citizens.
WHAT IS OUR MISSION?
GenCyber program wants students to be a part of the solution to the Nation's shortfall of skilled cybersecurity professionals. According to CyberSeek, the U.S. employs nearly 941,000 people in cybersecurity positions, with approximately 521,000 cybersecurity openings. Ensuring that enough young people are inspired to direct their talents in this area is critical to the future of our country's national and economic security as we become even more reliant on cyber-based technology in every aspect of our daily lives.
WHO CAN ATTEND THE CYBERSECURITY YOUTH CAMP?
Middle school and high school students ages 13 and older are eligible to apply for the camp. Students of all backgrounds and skill levels are welcome to join! There are a limited number of spots available, so please fill out this Registration Form to request a seat in the Southern University Cybersecurity Youth Camp.
DO I HAVE TO KNOW A LOT ABOUT COMPUTERS TO ATTEND?
No! The camp is geared for all skill levels, and it is designed to be a place where you can start to learn more about cybersecurity in a supportive and fun environment!
WHO ARE WE?
The Cybersecurity Youth Camp is organized and managed by a team of diverse faculty and student mentors with expertise in cybersecurity from Southern University. The team draws inspiration from years of teaching cybersecurity and programming principles to deliver a dynamic and exciting camp experience for students.
ETHICS AND CORE VALUES
Our team’s responsibility is to emphasize the importance of ethics in cybersecurity and teach youth about the exciting world of cybersecurity and online threats, which are critical to their future personal and professional success in this career field. As such, students will be required to review and sign a code of ethics to be eligible to participate in Southern University Cybersecurity Youth Camp.
