April's Monthly Mission - "The Closet"         

Making A Difference In Our Community...One Month At A Time

The Women's and the Men's Closet are two local charitable organizations that provide work-appropriate clothing for low-income women/men who are seeking employment, in a new job or going to school.  In addition to clothing, The Closet offers coats, shoes, accessories, jewelry and undergarments.  The goal of the program is to prepare women/men for employment and boost their self-esteem by helping them "dress for success." 

The ClosetIf you have any suits, dressy business clothes, shoes, accessories that you think could help those in need dress for success in interviews and the job, please donate these toward this cause.  Bring your items to Karen Zarembka or the church office. 

Sanctify @ The Cup          

Sanctify

 "Sanctify", a Christian rock band created by some of our New Hope youth, will be playing during The Cup of Joy's Open Mic night on Saturday, April 23rd  at 7:00 p.m.  Grab your friends and bring them to this free event and support our musicians.  You'll have a great time rockin' out to their original pieces and listening to some great talent.

We hope to have them perform at New Hope on a Friday night in the future!

Watch next week for details on the New Hope training plan/schedule! 

The Prayer Corner   

Following our time of prayer reflection and sharing during Lent, we have had a wonderful suggestion for a "prayer corner".  It's a place to sit quietly out of the hustle and bustle of activity here at New Hope and a place where individuals can meditate and lift up prayers in solitude at times other than worship.  It's located in the southwest corner of the Celebration Center tucked behind the trees.  Check it out!

Prayer does not change God, but changes the one who prays.   

The function of prayer is not to influence God, but rather to  

change the nature of the one who prays.  -Soren Keirkegaard.

6 or 7 New Tables Still Needed          

THANK YOU for your immediate response to this need!  We have received enough donations so far to purchase 5 news tables.  (Thank you Anthony Kosidowski for meeting me at Sam's with your truck and hauling them to church!)

In case you missed the info earlier ...we have a HUGE need for new tables.  The lightweight kind that can be handled by one person.  (The tables we have were all cast offs from other churches who replaced them with new, unbroken, lightweight ones.)  We are so appreciative to have had them for the past four years and we have put them to VERY good use, but recently we have had a couple injuries trying to handle them and it's time to replace them with something easier to move around. 

We have already purchased two 8-foot tables and three 6-foot tables.  The ones we are getting are $80 for an 8 foot table (we could use one more) and $50 for a 6 foot table (we could use about 7 more). 

If you would like to donate to help purchase new tables please put it in the offering plate and write "TABLES" on the envelope or on your check.
The Life of Jesus Bible Study  

"I don't know enough about the Bible to be in a Bible study!"  


Ever feel like you don't know enough about the Bible to be in a Bible study?  Then this class is for you!  The Life & Teachings of Jesus, led by Ruth Hunter, starts with the basics as we learn about Jesus' life, what he did while here on earth, and what he had to say.  The class is at 9:00 and then afterward stay for the 10:30 worship which is now identical to the 9:00 service.
