Take the opportunity to at least upgrade to Debian 9 and, ideally, 10. Debian 11 should be here inside a month - if you can get to 10, you'll have at least a further year of security support for 10.
Worth noting that skipping releases when upgrading isn't supported, so there's no advantage to waiting for the next one--you'll still have to upgrade in order.
