Shoeboxes for Operation Christmas Child
It's that time of year again! While you are on the golf course or playing on the beach,retailers are already thinking fall. Summer clothes and toys are being marked down for quick sales, and back to school supplies are now at the best price of the year. It's the perfect time to think of Shoeboxes!
Mary-Martha Circle is looking forward to packing shoeboxes for Operation Christmas Child in only three short months. With the generosity of New Hope we have been able to send shoeboxes to children in countries we can only dream of seeing. Every box shows a child that someone somewhere is thinking of them.
This is a great way to spread the love of Jesus to children, as well as fun toys and cool clothes. Thank you for your support.

September’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 (Last Month):
> Royal View Worship Service (Aug 18th)…
Upcoming Mission Activities:
> Campfire Music Gatherings (Sep 8 thru Oct 20): The Mission Team and the Worship Design Team will be hosting and help kick off a weekly time of fellowship and music around the campfire. Our first gathering is set for Sunday SEP 8th(5-7pm) at the NHGMC fire circle. So, bring your own snacks (to share), drink, chair, and a neighbor. And, feel free to bring an instrument/guitar to play, or just bring your voice to sing along. We hope to see you there!
> Royal View Worship Service (Sep 15th): Mission Team Members (Wally, Rachel, Sheila, Karrie) will be conducting the worship service for our friends at Royal View. This will include Holy Communion (via Pastor Wayne and Sally). Consider spending time in this special ministry.

We will have an exciting and rewarding Retreat Program while at Cran Hill Ranch and then ‘be in mission’ at Angels of Action and W.I.S.E. We look forward to serving our community and experiencing a time of renewal in everyone’s ‘faith walk’.
> Guest Speaker (Missionary): Pastor Wayne’s brother, a ‘missionary’, will be speaking to our congregation, in conjunction with our Mission Trip Testimonies on Sunday, Sep 15th. An additional Missionary Talk will be provided in the near future. Note: These special presentations help us meet one of our Mission Ministry goals.
