Invite-A-Friend Pancake & Porkie Breakfast  

is Sunday!   

Pancake & Porkie Breakfast 

Our youth will be flipping and serving pancakes from 8:00 to 11:30 a.m. on Palm Sunday, April 1st!  This annual event is a perfect time to invite friends/family who may be looking for a church home.  Tickets will be available at the door for a small cost and funds raised will be used for youth activities.  We hope to have every New Hope member bring a guest!


 

Easter Week at New Hope
  
Palm Parade
Sunday, April 1st, 9:30 a.m. - We will recall the triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem with a "palm parade."  Kids should arrive by 9:20 a.m. to line up.  

Holy Thursday Last Supper
Thursday, April 5th, 6:00 p.m. - Remembering how Jesus shared in a Last Supper with his 12 disciples, we will gather at tables of 12 in our Worship Area to reenact this communion meal.  We will recall the final moments of the earthly ministry of Jesus and the room will be gradually darkened as we revisit the events leading up to Jesus' crucifixion and death.  Adults and children alike have found this New Hope tradition to be deeply meaningful.

Good Friday Prayer Vigil
Friday, April 6th, Noon - 3:00 p.m. - The Celebration Center will be open for you to come in and spend time in reflection with God.  A guided meditation with prayers and scripture will be available.

Easter Sunday
Sunday, April 8th, 9:30 a.m. - A joyful celebration including triumphal arrangements of great Easter songs!  Invite your family and friends!



Benefit Concert for De Pere Christian Outreach Food Pantry
 
Sanctify, a youth band led by some of New Hope's teens, as well as our New Hope Praise Team will participate in a concert to raise funds for The DePere Christian Outreach Food Pantry.  The concert, a joint effort by several De Pere area churches,  will be held Saturday, April 21 at St. Anne's Episcopal Church starting at 3:00 p.m. A free will offering will be collected with all proceeds going to the construction of the new Food Pantry.
