Greetings!

July is an excellent month for vacations.  Time to step back, relax and "vacate" our every day life.  I find this process to be imperative to my well-being and a great time to reflect on who I am as an individual and what is important in my life.  I was fortunate enough to spend a week in Maine - and wow - talk about beautiful. As one who sees God's abundance in nature and friends, all I can say is that I was not only surrounded by trees, lakes, and the ocean, but I was surrounded by the love and care of good friends and family.  It was a great week. 

See you in church!

July Food Drive..."One for me, one for the pantry"
Keep Up The Great Response!

We are holding a drive for non-perishable food items during the month of July.  Local pantries are struggling to keep up with the demand, shelves are low, and our help is needed!  They are most in need of canned foods, boxed items and personal hygiene items.  We are proud to report that we have been delivering a full basket weekly to the pantry!  Thank you for your generosity!  When you bring your items, just place them in the basket located in the lobby. 

When at the store buy two, thinking:  "one for me, one for the pantry"

Great Opportunities to Grow

DISCIPLE III - REMEMBER WHO YOU ARE is prepared for those who have completed Disciple I - BECOMING DISCIPLES THROUGH BIBLE STUDY.  Participants in this thirty-two-week study will read the major and minor Old Testament prophets, with the exception of Daniel, and will read the thirteen letters traditionally attributed to Paul. To establish the historical context in which the prophets spoke for God, daily reading assignments also draw on the books of Deuteronomy through Chronicles. Led by Dr. Clark Stevens, this class will meet Mondays from 6:30 - 9:00 p.m. starting in September and ending in May. 

Christianity & World Religions - In our religiously diverse society it is essential that Christians seek to understand the faiths of others, to know how these faiths are similar to and different from their own faith. This book examines four major world religions, Hinduism, Buddhism, Islam and Judaism describing how they began, some of their essential teachings, and ways in which they differ from and are similar to Christianity. We'll taste foods that are important to their culture and visit their place of worship.  Led by Erich Bacher, this class will meet on Sunday evenings at 6:00 p.m. starting September 12th.

Other classes and studies are in the planning stages.  If there is something you are interested in a particular topic or in are willing to lead/facilitate a discussion please contact Patti at patti@newhopedepere.com.
