Hi ,


As I gaze out the window and watch the rain coming down, I find my thoughts drifting to Pastor Greg's sermons.  The hope that is offered to us through Jesus Christ is as refreshing as the green grass, budding trees and flower blossoms that follow a spring rain.  How very, very fortunate we truly are.  I give thanks for all of you as these spring rains wash us anew.     

 

See you in church;  I'll save you a seat!

May's Upcoming Monthly Mission -  

"Change the World" Work/Clean Up Day        

Saturday, May 14th      9:00 - 11:30
Making A Difference In Our Community...One Month At A Time


"Change the World" is a world wide effort by the United Methodist Church to get Methodists together, working in the community to make a difference.  Our May Mission is to be part of a much greater effort to help our world, and it is a powerful witness to the UMC teamwork in Green Bay.  Last year, about 100 people from all the UMC churches in the Green Bay area gathered to help clean up and prepare Heritage Hill for summer visitors.  This year's event is planned for Saturday, May 14th.  We will work from 9:00 to 11:30 and will finish with lunch at the park.  New Hope needs to provide potato salad for about 100 people and we are  looking for a volunteer to prepare it ahead of time.  Contact Karen Zarembka at 366-5427 or sign up on the back table if you are able to work. 


Training program kicks off for Bellin Run/Walk  

Training dates are May 1st, May 22nd, June 5th

Event is Saturday, June 11th

 

Get out, move more and join New Hope's team for the Bellin Run/Walk!  Our program is designed for ALL ability levels... from the couch to the finish line!

 

Jim Aniol, RRCA (Road Runners Club of America) certified coach and New Hope member, will be leading group training at New Hope  at 11:30 a.m.  on Sunday, May 1st;  May 22nd ; and June 5th.  These group events are designed for ALL ability levels and everyone is welcome - so don't be scared off thinking, "I'm not a runner."  or  "I can't walk that far."  Our goal is promote activity and fellowship while you prepare for an event at your ability level.

 

(We are also welcome to run/walk with the Green Bay Running Club at Voyageur Park any Saturday at 7 a.m., beginning  May 14th.)  

 

Members can e-mail any training questions that they have to Jim at  runningcoachjim@gmail.com.

Scrip Help Needed Wednesday & Sunday Mornings

We are in need of help on Sundays and Wednesdays with our Scrip program.  

 

SUNDAYS - We need a number of people to help out on Sunday mornings handing out previous orders and Scrip to go, and accepting new orders.  We are plan to set up a schedule for the volunteers to help once every month or two on a regular basis.

 

WEDNESDAYS - Starting the end of May or first of June, we need someone to pick up the Scrip orders from St. John church in Howard between 9 and -11 a.m. and then sort them for distribution before Friday noon.    

 

Please let us know by email or by calling the church office at 964-0143 if you are able to help.

 

Our Scrip program is an ongoing fundraiser to support our programs and ministries here at New Hope.  Through Scrip, we have raised over $1500 so far!

Brat Stand @ Festival Foods     
Friday, May 27th - Let's Be Seen In The Community!
 
Summer is almost here and that means time for grilling and brats!  Our next all church fund raiser will be at the Festival Foods Brat Stand on Main Street in De Pere.  By working the stand for a day we can raise the awareness of New Hope Church in the community and earn money for our church at the same time.  We are looking for volunteers to work our stand so grab a friend and sign up together!  The more the merrier.
 
We have a great day, Friday May 27th (the Friday of Memorial Day weekend) which means a lot of traffic at Festival Foods and that translates into more exposure and lots of brats and burger sales.

Here are the times that we need help:
8:00 am - 10:00 am    Setup/Grilling   
10:00 am - 12:00 pm  Grilling and Serving   
12:00 pm - 2:00 pm    Grilling and Serving   
2:00 pm -4:00 pm       Grilling & Serving
4:00 pm - 6:00 pm      Finish Grilling and Serving and Closing

A sign up sheet will be in the back of church or please contact Christy Aniol directly by e-mail or by phone at 339-8090.
 
We need YOU to make this a success for our church!
Volunteer Custodians    

We are grateful that John Scanlan has stepped forward and offered to help us keep our church sparkling on a weekly basis!  If you are able to help occasionally when John is unavailable or with special projects, please let us know by calling the church office at 964-0143. 


NEW Shelter Needs Sewing Help    
The NEW Shelter recently received 100 king size blankets from an area hotel.  The are in need of someone to cut them in half and bind the edges so they will fit the single size beds they have there at the shelter.  If you are able to help, contact the shelter.  (Chet Gibbons, New Hope volunteer, has a sample blanket if you'd like to see what's involved.)
Still Have Items for a Rummage Sale? 
If you are just getting around to cleaning out your basement and closets and missed New Hope's rummage sale, you have a couple options.  You can put it in a corner of your basement and save it until our next sale, set aside your "auction" items for New Hope's fall auction, or take it over to Peace UMC for their 3rd Annual Rummage Giveaway.
