November’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 October:
> Food Drive: Thanks to all who contributed! We delivered over 20 bags of groceries and $30. GHH appreciated our efforts and donations… ;-), as will families needing food in our local community.
> 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.
> Life Resources Fundraising Dinner: Several members from New Hope attended the Life Resources annual fund raising dinner. An inspirational guest speaker and other speakers provided useful insight, experiences, and information about this important program. The program provides young pregnant (unwed) women free counseling and ultra-sounds to help them make the right decision.
New Hope continues to financially support Life Resources in many ways.
> Boots & Mitts Drive: Thanks to all of you, we received many clothing items needed by young students at Mecosta Elementary School. The needed winter items were delivered to the school this past week…. Truly, we are sharing the love and grace of Christ as we put love into action….
Upcoming Mission Activities:
> Encouragement Cards and ‘Apple Bar’ Event (Nov 12th @ 7:00pm): All are invited to join the Mission Team Nov 12th as we kickoff an “Encouragement Card Writing” campaign and enjoy ‘fall season’ snacks and drinks at a unique ‘Apple Bar’ …. while we write simple words of encouragement to let area kids know they are special and thought of. The cards are to be placed in nearly 1000 bags of food that Angels of Action will be sending out just before Thanksgiving to needy kids/students in all Mecosta area schools. Blank cards and a basket to return them will also be available during the next couple of Sunday services.
> Royal View Worship Service (NOV 17th): 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.
>Thanksgiving Food Cards: The Mission Team will be delivering (4) $50 Gift Cards (from Hixsons) enclosed in Thanksgiving Greeting Cards to four needy Mecosta families, via Mecosta Elementary School.
> Small Group Mission Activities: See other announcements about the great things our NHGMC Small Groups are doing to support mission ministries…..
