YOUNG WOMEN’S PJ PARTY

The PJ Party was a great time!  Victoria Morris, Carlene Jean and Linda Goss stayed the night with the girls; and that was a challenge.  Kara Rollins, who lead the girls in music, and Sara Friend, who kept the girls nice and quiet for devotions, stayed the night with us as well.  We had seven lovely young women who seemed to thoroughly enjoy themselves. We actually got to sleep around 3:00am.   Barb Ritson came over bright and early in the morning and cooked a hearty breakfast for us.  We had chocolate chip pancakes, fruit salad, and sausages—yummy!  Of course, Carlene, Linda and Victoria had to have lots of coffee in the morning.

SOUPER BOWL XLVI!

The Giants won New Hope’s Souper Bowl. We had a total of 159 cans.  The Giants got 75, the Patriots got 53 and 31 people were undecided!  New Hope has done it again—we predicted who would win the Super Bowl. 

QUESTIONS GOD ASKS US

Instead of always looking for answers in the Bible, author Trevor Hudson suggests that we start thinking more carefully about the questions that God asks us. Over the next several weeks New Hope will follow that suggestion with a sermon series, "Questions God Asks Us."  God desires a relationship with us and shows this desire by asking us important questions.  By allowing us to wrestle with these questions rather than simply supplying answers, God draws us close.  This Sunday, February 12, the sermon title will be "What Is Your Name?" 

PASTOR’S BIBLE STUDY

In Pastor’s Bible Study, we are now studying the book of James, which illustrates the way in which Christians should live.  Feel free to come and join us any Monday night in the Grace Life Center at 6:30pm.  We always have a good time in Bible Study.
