CALL TO WORSHIP
I believe in God, the Father almighty, Creator of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ,
his only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,born of the Virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried; he descended into hell;
on the third day he rose again from the dead; he ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of God the Father almighty; from there he will come to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic Church, the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting.

JANUARY’S ‘MISSION MOMENT’
The Mission and Community Outreach Ministries Group continues to provide or identify opportunities for our NH church family to ‘be in mission’ within our community so that we might make Disciples of Christ. Being in mission means reaching out primarily to people outside our own church and sharing the love and grace of Jesus Christ. We are to put faith into action in a meaningful way whereby it gives hope, shows mercy, and uplifts those in our community who may be discouraged.
Completed Mission Activities in December:
Thanks... Thank you New Hope Family for your support and participation last month in reaching out to help families in our local community and distant locations around the world. The following mission activities were a huge success: The Boots & Mits Drive, Salvation Army Giving Tree, Lakota Indian Children donations, Operation Christmas Child (Shoebox Ministry), and Encouragement Cards to needy children in Mecosta County.
Royal View Worship Service: Our Royal View friends continue to attend and become engaged in our monthly services. This time of worship has been very meaningful for all involved. Please include a prayer to families of several Royal View (worship) friends who recently passed away. Contact Wally if you feel lead to assist.
Upcoming Mission Activities:
[NEW].... ‘Soothe the Soul Soup Supper’ (JAN 15th, 5-7pm): The Mission Team is spearheading a monthly Soup Supper (third Wed of Month) starting Jan 15th (5-7pm). This mission event is financially supported by the Jack and Dee Smith Memorial Fund. Our intent is to provide a community outreach opportunity for neighbors to enjoy a time of fellowship that will include: a meal, live Christian music,and a short devotional. The meal will be rather simple, requiring only a few volunteers. A kids’ activity and storytelling area will also be provided. Set Up will be 7:00pm (Tue) Jan 14th,following the Mission Team meeting at 7:00pm. We could use a few more volunteers besides Mission Team members. Contact Sue Reed or Wally Ewing if you would like to assist.
Royal View Worship Service (JAN 19th): Mission Team Members will be conducting the worship service and providing Communion for our friends at Royal View. Contact Wally if you would like to serve in this special ministry.
Family Fun Night (Winterfest) FEB 12th (5:30-7:30): Our next big Family Fun Night will be in February and will provide families with a Winterfest experience similar to last year’s event. The “Winterfest” activities will kick off with an interactive worship program in the Sanctuary, followed by a Pancake Supper,then feature a passport-based Winter Carnival with stations in the gym. This is a huge church-wide event that also provides our NH Family with a special time of fellowship as we provide hospitality to our local families. It therefore requires many volunteers. Please, please, please sign up on the Sign-Up board for a task (sure to be enjoyable). Contact Wally E., Ed L., or Sue R. for more info. Let’s provide a blessing to our community.
