Sunday's Message

Pastor Greg's Spring Sermon Series:

"What Would Jesus Do? - Basics for How We Live"


Sunday's Message is based on John 14:15-21   

"Jesus Would Never Ever Abandon Us "

Hi ,

 

Summer appears to have arrived in warm, sunny style!  If you are wondering how to stay connected with New Hope as you buzz around to your summer activities I have the following suggestions:

 

  1. Check out the activities in the ENews and get them on the calendar so you don't miss out on the fun with your church friends.
  2. Fill out an ACH auto withdrawal form (click here for link) so you can stay on top of your financial promises to New Hope even if you are not able to be here.
  3. Buy Scrip for your traveling needs!  Gas, groceries - Scrip cards are good everywhere not just in Green Bay.  You can order ahead or contact Patti during the week to pick up Scrip to Go.  

Pastor Greg has wonderful messages planned for the summer months and we've also been planning lots of ways for you to strengthen your faith and connect with your church family doing fun summer stuff.  Boy-o-boy, I love summer time!  

 

See you Sunday - I'll save you a seat!

Patti
