Our Savior loves us perfectly because He’s fully God and fully man–powerful and compassionate.

Admitted to the American Union on June 21, 1778, New Hampshire became its 9th state.
Here are a few quick facts about New Hampshire:
New Hampshire traces its history back to the original 13 English colonies. Its namesake comes from the English county of Hampshire.
The state’s nickname is “Granite State.” This relates to the numerous granite quarries in the state. In 1776 at the signing of the Declaration of Independence, the New Hampshire delegates were the first to sign below the signature of the Congress’ President John Hancock.
New Hampshire is home to over 1,400 acres of apple orchards. It is no wonder that apple cider is the official beverage of the state.
The state’s geography features a most distinctive landscape. Frequently called the White Mountain State, nearly one quarter of the state contains forested mountain ranges. Because of its mountainous scenery, New Hampshire is often referred to as the Switzerland of America.
