"Scrip Tip"
When ordering online and you see a *  (asterisk) it indicates an arrangement with a local vendor vs. a regional one.  If there are two with the same name, this also means you should select the one with the * since it gives a larger rebate than the regional  selection.  So if in doubt...choose the one with the *. 

Looking Ahead!

New Hope Logo
Greetings!

Thank you for the tremendous turnout to "un-deck" the halls here at church!  After a whirlwind of activity yesterday, our building is ready to begin the activities a new year brings with it.  A couple things to watch for on the horizon in addition to what's listed in this ENews...
  • Valentine's Family Sock Hop
  • Connecting Adults Murder Mystery
  • Women's Retreat
  • New Hope's Long Range Planning Meeting 
  • Sledding & Cocoa Party

This week is also the launching of the electronic version of our monthly newsletter.  I'll include all of you in the "inaugural send" later today, and if you'd like us to continue sending it electronically rather than via snail mail just let us know and we'll take you off the printed version list.


(I've been so busy I don't have time to get cold!)  
See you Sunday; I'll save you a seat!

DivorceCare Series To Start at New Hope
Wednesday, January 12th at 6:45 p.m.
 

Find help and healing for the hurt of separation and divorce

DivorceCare is a special weekly seminar and support group for people who are separated or divorced. It takes a long time and a lot of work to heal the pain that comes with the breakup of a marriage.  DivorceCare is a place where you can be around people who understand what you are feeling and hear valuable information about ways to heal from the hurt of divorce.


The 13 week program is designed so that you can begin attending on any week as each session topic stands on it's own.


Please share this info with friends, family and co-workers who may benefit from this program - all are welcome! 

 
Taste & See Women's Group to Study Angels
New study on Angels begins January 12th
Wed. mornings 9:30-11:00.

What - or who - are angels? Where did they come from, and what is their purpose? What is their relationship to us as human beings? These studies explore the numerous Bible passages that reveal the services these heavenly beings perform, the part they play in spiritual warfare, and how they differ from other beings in God's created order. Includes penetrating questions that generate discussion and an emphasis on daily application of Bible truth.


All women are welcome!
