often on sale when the season first begins. Please remember
that everything needs to fit in a shoebox.
We appreciate your help,and some child will be overjoyed.

you are computer less at your home? Fear Not! New Hope has
its own “Telephone Chain”. Call Karen Woodruff and leave your
phone number. When an announcement is sent out from the
church office, it will come to you by a link in the Chain and you
can pass it on. Leave your name and number at 248-974-6151.
Online Giving
Online giving has been available to our congregation for a couple
of years. After several promotions to use the online option, it has
been decided that it is not a financially viable option for the church
with only one or two members using it. As of April 24, online
giving will no longer be available. If you have any questions,
please contact the church office. We thank those who utilized this
program and we hope it will not be inconvenient for you to change
back to the former way of giving.
