Walk to Emmaus
Spiritual Experience to be held in October
| What is it????
The Walk to Emmaus is a spiritual renewal program intended to strengthen the local church through the development of Christian disciples and leaders. The program's approach seriously considers the model of Christ's servanthood and encourages Christ's disciples to act in ways appropriate to being "a servant of all."
The Walk to Emmaus experience begins with a 72-hour short course in Christianity, comprised of fifteen talks by lay and clergy on the themes of God's grace, disciplines of Christian discipleship, and what it means to be the church. The course is wrapped in prayer and meditation, special times of worship and daily celebration of Holy Communion. The "Emmaus community," made up of those who have attended an Emmaus weekend, support the 72-hour experience with a prayer vigil, by preparing and serving meals, and other acts of love and self-giving. The Emmaus Walk typically begins Thursday evening and concludes Sunday evening. Men and women attend separate weekends.
During and after the three days, Emmaus leaders encourage participants to meet regularly in small groups. The members of the small groups challenge and support one another in faithful living. Participants seek to Christianize their environments of family, job, and community through the ministry of their congregations. The three-day Emmaus experience and follow-up groups strengthen and renew Christian people as disciples of Jesus Christ and as active members of the body of Christ in mission to the world.
The men and women's walks are held separately. The next men's walk is October 6-9 and the women will follow on October 13-16. Several men and women from New Hope have already signed up to go to the event to be held in Appleton. If you would like more information contact Clark or Maria Stevens at 662-0103.

Single & Parenting Class to Start Aug 24th
Help & Hope for Single Parents
| Every Wednesday at 6:45 p.m.
If you're a single parent, you're probably tired, overwhelmed and feeling a bit underappreciated. That's why New Hope is sponsoring a Single & Parenting group - to share tips and parenting wisdom that will help you find rest, hope and encouragement.
Other people don't truly understand how tough it is to be a single parent-day after day after day. Sometimes you want to give up. And that's a normal reaction-you're doing the job of two people. You should be tired.
The thing is, you deeply desire to do what's best for your kids, but you worry that you can't. Sometimes it's all you can do to survive from one day to the next.
So what can you do?
Single & Parenting groups address these concerns. You'll discover how to deal with your deep-down worries and your day-to-day struggles.
At a weekly Single & Parenting group, you'll meet with other single parents to learn and discuss some amazing parenting strategies and hope-filled insights.
The 13-week series starts Wednesday, August 24th at 6:45 p.m. The sessions are all stand alone so participants can join at any time in the series.
Anyone who can benefit is welcome to attend - please feel free to invite friends, relatives and neighbors to come.
More info is available online at singleandparenting.org

Favorite Bible Verses to use for devotions & reflection
| |
A couple weeks ago I requested that you share your favorite Bible verses so that others can use them as a summer devotional. Whether you choose to reflect on one verse a day or one verse a week; enjoy this opportunity to embrace the scriptures that speak to others here at New Hope.
(Note: If the sender included personal thoughts, I've included that as well. You'll want to look the verses up for the exact wording and keep in mind that different translations will vary. An online link as been included for your convenience.)
- My all-time favorite is "be still and know that I am God". Especially when everything gets so crazy "be still" is a powerful and comforting command. (Psalm 46:10)
- I also like the verse about God caring about even the lilies. There's no way to think God has forgotten you when you think about a field of countless flowers! (Matthew 6:30)
- I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. (Philippians 4:13)
- For God so loved the world that he gave his only son that whoever believes in him will have eternal life. (John 3:l6)
- I like the the Greatest Commandment: You must love the LORD your God with all your heart, and all your mind and all your soul. This is the first and greatest commandment. The second is equally important: Love your neighbor as yourself. (Matthew 22:36)
- Kind words are like honey; sweet to the soul and healthy to the body. (Proverbs 16:24)
- Faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see. (Hebrews 11:1)
- Observe how Christ loved us. His love was not cautious but extravagant. He didn't love in order to get something from us but to give everything of himself to us. Love like that. (Ephesians 5:1)
- He has showed you, O man, what is good. And what does the LORD require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God. (Micah 6:8)
