Help us spread kindness, one sandwich at a time! We’re inviting our church family to support our local homeless community by donating PB&J sandwiches for We Care. These simple meals make a meaningful difference and are an easy, hands-on way to serve our neighbors in need. Drop off your PB&J sandwiches this Thursday, April 2, by noon. Every sandwich is a tangible expression of love and care. Thank you for helping us nourish both bodies and spirits in our community!

Ladies of all ages are invited to come study the book James: What You Do Matters with us! Join beloved Bible teacher and author Margaret Feinberg via streaming video in a rich, fresh study of James that will uncover the genuine markers of real faith, equip you to break free from old patterns by developing new practices, and discover how the Father of heavenly lights treasures you. This five-week study will meet in Room 206 on Wednesdays at 10am from April 8 through May 6. Register below, purchase the book through your favorite book distributor, and join us on April 8!

SHAMROCK SHOWDOWN RECAP

 

Many of our youth and volunteers who were home during Spring Break joined us last Wednesday for our inaugural Shamrock Showdown event featuring kickball and shamrock milkshakes! Thanks to everyone who came and thank you to Mark Dillehay for our beautiful shamrock rainbow featured in the picture above!

EGG FILLING PARTY RECAP

WOW!! Thank you SO much to everyone who came out to serve at our Egg Stuffing Party! With around 120 people, we were able to fill all 15,000 eggs in under two hours – a true display of teamwork and God’s love in action! This was such a beautiful, intergenerational event and we are so grateful to everyone who helped make it happen.

 

If you haven’t registered to volunteer yet, there’s still time! Join us this Sunday from 4–6pm for Hunt-a-Trunk, our Easter outreach event. Be a welcoming face that shows Christ’s love to our community, enjoy a fun and creative afternoon for families, and connect with others in fellowship.

 

Let’s also lift this event up in prayer – that the light of Christ shines brightly through it, and that every family who attends feels encouraged, welcomed, and impacted. Together, we get to live out one of New Hope’s core values: lavish grace.
