When was the last time you and your spouse set aside an evening just to enjoy being together? Between work, family, schedules, and everything else competing for your attention, it’s easy for your marriage to get whatever time is left over.
Marriage Night is an opportunity to be intentional. Join us Friday, October 9 at 6pm for a delicious dinner, time to reconnect, have some fun, and invest in your relationship. This Marriage Night will include some fresh elements and a few surprises, so even if you’ve joined us before, you can expect something a little different! The cost is $35 per couple. Register below by Monday, October 5!
October is Pastor Appreciation Month!
We are so thankful for Pastor Sheldon and the many ways he faithfully leads, teaches, encourages, and cares for our New Hope family. Throughout the month of October, we invite you to take a moment to let him know how much his ministry means to you.
A simple note, card, word of encouragement, or prayer is a wonderful way to show your appreciation and remind him that the many ways he serves, both seen and unseen, do not go unnoticed.
Pumpkin spice and everything nice!
Join us Thursday, October 22 at 6:30pm in the Sanctuary for a casual night of fall treats, a creative activity, a timely word of encouragement, and intentional time to connect with women of all ages!
Come take a break, meet someone new, and enjoy an evening celebrating the gift of being sisters in Christ. Whether you’re new to New Hope or have been here for years, there’s a place for you!
Come for the treats. Stay for the connection. Leave with some new friends!
Middle and high schoolers are invited to join us on Saturday, October 10 from 6-8pm for The Mix! We'll play ultimate frisbee for the first hour, with a short devotion to follow. Then we’ll finish with Grog indoors (an in-the-dark game). Free time for games or other sports as desired!
Middle and High School students are invited to join us at Starbucks (11801 S Cleveland Ave, Ste 100) for our next Over Coffee on Monday, October 19 from 10:30am-12:30pm for a chance to catch up and hang out!
THANK YOU FOR GIVING!
What an incredible response to our September Diaper and Wipes Drive! Together, we collected more than 3800 diapers and 65 packs of baby wipes for One More Child, helping provide practical support to children and families right here in our community. Thank you to everyone who donated and helped make this drive such a success. This is Living Out the Gospel Together, meeting real needs, loving our neighbors, and sharing the love of Jesus in tangible ways.
