Congratulations, Rev. Myra Taylor! We're so excited for this new church start! Prayers and blessings for New Hope UCC!
Rev. Myra says:
Three years ago (2020) I prayed and asked God what my next ministry assignment would be. Two years ago (2021) while vacationing in Arizona God revealed the next chapter / assignment to me. For the past two years, I've prayed... for the past two years I've discerned... for the past two years I've fasted (as needed)... for the past two years I've pressed... for the past two years, I've shed some tears... for the past two years I've disconnected from negative people and connected with positive minded people... for the past two years, I have prepared.
“Soooooooo on Palm Sunday, April 2nd I will step into the pulpit as the founding Pastor of New Hope UCC Church of Phoenix! To God be the Glory for the things God has and is doing!!!
”To my two spiritual fathers, personal mentors, clergy mentors, sisterhood community, Southwest Conference and clergy, friends, family, my husband, my child, and my Mom... thank you for your prayers, thank you for holding me accountable in this journey, thank you for pushing me when "fear of the unknown" kicked in... LOL! Please pray for us as we set out to Invest in New Hope by Encouraging~Engaging~Experiencing and Empowering!!!
“Stay tuned for our launch video!!!”
