Greetings!
As I smell the clean odor of Jen mopping the floor this afternoon in preparation of worship on Sunday, I realize it's already Friday, and I can't help but be amazed at how quickly this week has gone! Wow! Lenten season is already flying by and before we know it Easter will be upon us. What are you doing to prepare your heart for Easter? Are you "mopping" out the grunge and focusing on renewal? Are you spending time with God reflecting on your faith? On Wednesday night at the Lenten worship service, Tom Buechler shared his faith story with us and it was really inspirational to hear his thoughts and see a piece of what makes Tom the fun-loving, faithful guy that he is.
Be sure to join us for potluck dinner the next four Wednesdays in March at 5:45 p.m. followed by a half hour of worship at
6:30. During worship each week a member of New Hope will share a story
of how faith has impacted their life and you won't want to miss it.
Now I think I'll head home and mop MY floors.
See you in church!

it or not, applying for college scholarships is something that should be on the

March 11 - 13th
United Methodist Children's
Services (www.umcs-wi.org) was organized
in 1962 and has been serving women, children and families in the Milwaukee area for 45
years. They have three main areas of
emphasis. The Growing
Tree Children's Center, the Transitional Living Program,
and the Family Resource
Center. Our work while we are there
will most likely be with the Family
Resource Center
as part of the emergency food pantry and clothing distribution, however we may
be asked to help clean or paint one of their transitional homes as well. It all depends where their greatest area of
need is on the days we are there.
The trip is open to all
youth in the 8th grade or above and adults.
