Hi ,
I was thinking today about some of my favorite verses from the Bible. The ones that speak of joy, faith, love, hope and encouragement tend to rank high with me. However there is one that cracks me up; in Galatians 6:11 it says "See what large letters I use as I write to you with my own hand!" I chuckle at the sense of humor that has been passed down through the ages.
Do you have a favorite Bible verse? If so, shoot me a quick email and let me know what it is. I'll print a list of New Hope's favorites, and perhaps you'll want to use them as a little summer devotional. A cup of coffee, ponder a favorite verse and listen to the birds sing. Works for me!
BTW - we still need a Children's Sunday School leader for June 26th and July 3rd. Let me know if you can help.
See you Sunday - I'll save you a seat!

"Feed My Starving Children" event is July 18 - 20
| This "Mission A Month" is a Karen Zarembka's favorite - join in and make a difference!
Feed My Starving Children is a non-profit Christian organization committed to feeding God's children hungry in body and spirit. The approach is simple: children and adults hand-pack meals specifically formulated for malnourished children, and then FMSC ships them to nearly 70 countries around the world.
Many people in third world countries are vegetarians or have strict dietary restrictions. They also cannot physically tolerate rich diets as the wealthier countries eat. The type of meal that could feed people in third world countries was very carefully thought out and designed by some of our largest food manufacturing companies to be a rice type meal with proteins, beans, dehydrated vegetables, vitamins. One meal costs $0.22 and feeds a family of 4.
- Before you start the shift they will show you a video that shows what the third world countries go through. They feed their children clay at night so they can sleep at night. Some say that we should take care of our own in America. While I agree that we should take care of anyone in need, the children in these countries would think it was a luxury to be able to dig into a dumpster to eat food. While Americans may go hungry, they are not starving.
- They make the event fun-Everyone gets stationed at different production tables. Each table group competes to see which group can produce the most meals.
- When the shift ends, everyone gathers around the completed pallets of food. We pray for safe delivery and pray for the recipients of the food.
The event will be held at First English Lutheran Church located at 6331 N. Ballard Road in
Appleton (Corner of Ballard Road and Broadway Drive). Those interested in participating can carpool together to Appleton.
There are several time slots available and this a great event for anyone...great for families. The minimum age to volunteer at FMSC is 5 years old. However, they recommend that groups of youth be 3rd grade and older.
