CALL TO WORSHIP Wally Ewing
Leader: For we ourselves were once foolish, disobedient, led astray, slaves
to various passions and pleasures, passing our days in malice and envy,
hated by others and hating one another.
People: But when the goodness and loving kindness of God our
Savior appeared, he saved us, not because of works done by us
in righteousness, but according to his own mercy,
Leader: By the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit, who
he poured out on us
Richly through Jesus Christ our Savior,
People: So that being justified by his grace, we might become heirs
according to the hope of eternal life. For we are his
workmanship,created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God
prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.

What’s Happening at New Hope Blood Drive a Success
The American Red Cross Blood Drive at New Hope Church was a success.
There were16 donors, which was a good number for our first time in several
years. The goal was to have 20-25 donors. When they give us the date of
the next blood drive, we will crank up the advertising to assure the blood
drive will continue at our church.
Thank you New Hope blood donors Wally Ewing, Kay Rooker, Jim Stewart,
Kathy and Dave Baker! Your commitment is very much appreciated. I
especially want to thank Kathy and Dave for their help setting up and taking
down the tables and chairs in the gym. It was a fun day and I especially
enjoyed getting to visit with each of you.

Church Council Update -- January
Wally Ewing agreed to serve as the new Chairperson of the Church Council.
An updated NHGMC Mission & Vision Statement was approved. The
Mission statement now includes scriptures as the basis for how and why we
are to pursue our mission at New Hope. The Vision Statement has points
that align with our Mission Statement and show us what pursuing our action
should look like.
The Council continues to support New Hope’s Mission Ministries through
ongoing actions of support. This includes: improved cleanliness of the
church, repair of outside doors, repair of main electrical sign, conducting
Family Fun Nights and Soup Suppers, providing updated Church
Directories, and planning of a capital fund drive to pay off the church
mortgage.
An Annual Assessment of NHGMC’s “health” is being conducted by the
Counsel to determine how our church is doing and to identify any areas of
concern for New Hope’s future.

Fund Activity balance was $37,591, the Building Fund Activity balance was

Light the Church –“Letting Your Light Shine” (Matthew 5:16)
This week the church is being lit in honor of our police, firemen, first
responders, and military. ~ Anonymous
[The cost of lighting New Hope is approximately $85 per week. To participate, giving in
honor, memory, or celebration, please indicate on your giving envelope or check that it

‘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.
Upcoming Mission Activities
> [NEXT].... ‘Soothe the Soul Soup Supper’ (FEB 19^th,5:30-7pm)
