Healing Service on November 7th

Special service at 11:35


New Hope's Health Ministry team will be holding a Healing Service on Sunday, November 7th at 11:35 a.m. for anyone who is dealing with the loss of a loved one or friend, or struggling with other hurts and illnesses.  This quiet service, led by Rev. Barb Ristow,  offers time to mediate, reflect and heal in a personal and spiritual way.  No matter where you are in your faith journey or life struggles, this service is open to people of all backgrounds to offer hope and healing.  If you know someone who is hurting invite them to join you.


 "Is any one of you in trouble? He should pray. Is anyone happy? Let him sing songs of praise. Is any one of you sick? He should call the elders of the church to pray over him and anoint him with oil in the name of the Lord" (James 5:13-14)

Delicious Delectables Cookie Walk
Planning Meeting is Monday, November 8th
Join us at 6:30 p.m. at New Hope

Anyone interested in planning the Delicious Delectables Cookie Walk is invited to join us on Monday, November 8th starting at 6:30 p.m. at the church.  We need lots of ideas for this inaugural event so we need YOU! 

This yummy occasion is scheduled for December 12th and will provide an excellent opportunity for you take home a variety of Christmas cookies for your holiday enjoyment.  Mark your calendars and plan on including these goodies when entertaining!
Prayer Shawls/Lap Robes Available

Prayer shawls and lap robes are available for those who are going through a difficult time and need the comfort and warmth of knowing they have been prayed for.  The Heartwarmers - Wrapped In Prayer group has been busy knitting, crocheting and quilting and have a number of them ready for those in need.  If you know of someone that would feel comforted by receiving a shawl or lap robe, please contact the church office or anyone of the Heartwarmers to make arrangements.  You can either deliver the item yourself or we will arrange for it to be delivered. 
Video Techs Needed

This "Tech" task is not so technical


Looking for a way to help out at church but don't like to be in the limelight?  Afraid this is a "technical" job and you're not very "techie"?  Then this would be a perfect opportunity for you.  The video tech job is a behind the scenes task and does NOT require a lot of technical know how.  The video techs are the ones who keep the info on the video screens moving and on pace with the service.  We'll provide the training, but basically all you need to do is follow the service and push a button a couple seconds before the screen changes. 


We need more volunteers for both services.  If you think this is something you would be interested in contact the church office by email  or by phone at  964-0143
Scrip Program Needs Volunteers
Volunteer every week or occasionally 

We are looking for volunteers to help either on a weekly or occasional basis for our Scrip program to raise funds for the ministries and programs here at New Hope Church.  Sheryl Mielke has volunteered to take leadership on this project and she'll need help!  We'll need people to collect and distribute the orders on Sundays from 10 - 10:30 a.m.  We will also need help early in the week to tally the orders and later in the week to fill them.  Please contact Patti if you are willing to help. 

Scrip is "no-selling" fundraising that allows New Hope to raise money based on your everyday purchases.  Scrip is a term that means "substitute money" and when you purchase scrip through New Hope, you're purchasing negotiable gift certificates and prepaid cards that are used just like cash. You can use scrip to purchase everyday expenses like food, clothing, gas and other essentials, and with every purchase, you earn revenue for our church. 

The church buys the scrip at a discount, and re-sells the certificates to families like yours for full face value.  The discount - from two to fifteen percent or more -  is our organization's revenue which we will use to support programs and ministry right here at New Hope. This is a GREAT way for you to support our church!
