Your whole life: the 3D Plan for eating right, living well, and loving God

 

Who?

Any adult who desires to lose 20 pounds or more 

Purpose?  

To encourage, support, and hold each other accountable in developing and maintaining healthy life habits.

When?

Saturday 8:00am - 9:00am at Christy's Aniol's house  

Facilitator?   

Amy Powell, Parish Nurse

Resource?  

We will be reading the book "Your whole life: the 3D Plan for eating right, living well, and loving God."  "This is a 12 week journey that focuses on eating right, living well, and loving God.  The 3 D's stand for discipleship, discipline, and diet.  It is inspired by the words of Jesus: "Your faith has made you whole" (Mark 5:34).  The 3D plan will help you to make gradual changes that are positive, practical, and proven to become permanent."   

 

Each week is a stand alone discussion, so individuals can join at any time.  An optional weigh-in will also be provided.

 

Interested individuals should contact Amy Powell, Karen Zarembka, or Christy Aniol for directions to Christy's house.  

Be a "Bible Mentor" for a child

Donate $40 to sponsor a Bible  

 

Our young Sunday School children are "jumping" into their Bibles with such zest that we need to get them more challenging Bibles!  The first and second graders are using a story book version that is too easy for their inquisitive minds.

We'd like to get you involved by not just sponsoring the cost of a grade school Bible, but to follow what they are learning (on the bulletin boards) and ask them to tell you about what they find interesting.  (ie:  "What's your favorite part of that story?")  We have several young families at New Hope who do not have grandparents, aunts or uncles nearby.  New Hope offers a great opportunity for us to become an extended family and fill those roles on a weekly basis by showing the children we are interested in their spiritual growth and care about them.
 
Our goal is 15 Bibles, if you are interested in sponsoring a Bible(s) just put your donation in the offering plate and indicate "Bible Mentor" on it.  Let us know if you'd like your name written inside the cover.    
 SNOW DAY - Youth Sledding Extravaganza

Sunday, February 20th at 1:00 p.m. 

 

Sledding You've heard of snow days before, but nothing like this! Youth grades 6th to 12th are gathering for an afternoon of EXTREME sledding. Bring friends and slip-slide your heart out! Enjoy hot cocoa with mega-marshmallows afterward.  Meet at the church at 1:00 pm.  Adults/parents - we will need drivers!  Let us know if you are game.

PLAN  B - If we are unable to sled due to the big thaw this week, we'll be going bowling and the kids will need to bring $7.00 to cover bowling costs, plus money for snacks. 
Missions Meet Monday at 7 pm

2011 Mission Goals:

Extensions are available including the Greek Isles.
