Greetings!
 
It's Triple Anniversary week!  Wow - it arrived quickly!  Pastor Greg's message "We Need A Bigger and Bigger Address Book" will be based on John 14:8-17.  This is the fourth week of his series, "Forwarding Jesus Without Clicking Send", which concludes on May 30th. 

We have wonderful things planned (see more info below) and I'm sure you'll want to be here to congratulate Greg.  I was just thinking (which can be dangerous)... Greg has had a huge impact on many, many lives in the first 25 years of his ministry.... just image what the next 25 will bring!  Yahoo!

See you in church, I'll save you a seat!

P.S.  Thank you for your prayers!  The Cellcom Marathon last Sunday went great!  I finished 13.1 miles in 2 hours and 11 minutes.  I came across the line just seconds before the man who won the race...however he ran twice as far as I did!  Kudos to the others from New Hope who did a great job, Jim Zarembka, Kristin Kuss, Gary Piontek and Jim Aniol. 
Triple Anniversary Celebration is Sunday!
Celebrate With Us!  9:00 and 10:45 a.m.
Reception at 10:00


This Sunday, May 23rd we will be celebrating:
1)  The 25th anniversary of Greg becoming a pastor.  (Cool!)
2)  The 2nd anniversary of New Hope becoming chartered (Neat-o!)
3)  Pentecost - sometimes described as the "Birthday of the Church" and is celebrated using the color red; therefore wear red!

In appropriate celebratory style, we'll have special music including the children singing, special guests, special historical picture displays and of course special treats!  Both worship services will be identical with the exception that communion will be served at the second service.

We look forward to seeing you on Sunday!
Sunday School Kids To Sing This Week
Reminder To Parents

It's always such fun when the kids sing and this week we'll have that pleasure as they sing a special Pentecost song during worship.  Therefore, a reminder to the parents that we would like them here at the church by 8:45 to "warm up."  Also, we would greatly appreciate it if the children could remain to sing early in the second service.
Want to See The Dead Sea Scrolls?
In Milwaukee Until June 6th

Are you interested in traveling to Milwaukee with others from New Hope to see the Dead Sea Scrolls at the Milwaukee Museum?  If so, contact Roxy Reckelberg to coordinate possible dates.
Summer Sunday School Teachers Needed
Sign Up Online

Summer is just around the corner and we are looking for summer Sunday School teachers.  This is a commitment from 9:00 - 10:00 a.m. on any Sunday this summer.  The lesson will be prepared for you and consists of a video followed by a few discussion questions or crafts.  To volunteer click here to sign up or call the church office.  Thanks!
It's Mowing Season - Yay!
And we need your HELP!

Isn't it wonderful that everything is turning green as the grass and flowers begin to grow?  Oh, did I say that the grass is beginning to grow?  It is!  The grass is beginning to grow and that means we need your help to keep the lawn here at New Hope looking trim and inviting.   To sign up to help, please click on the link below for our online schedule.  Thanks, your willingness to help is truly appreciated!
