RAFIKI HANDCRAFT SALE | SUNDAY, NOV 6
“Rafiki” means friend in Swahili and depicts the purpose of the Foundation—to help people know God and raise their standard of living. The Rafiki Foundation supports widows in ten African countries by selling their handcrafts. We will have items for sale on Sunday, November 6, in the lobby area. We are familiar with the Rwandan baskets made by the Genocide survivors — One of the new groups is Threads and Light of Nigeria with beautiful sewn items.Threads And Light – Rafiki Exchange (rafikifoundation.org)

PEACE SUMMIT | SATURDAY, NOV 5, 2-4pm
Jesus left us with a gift. Peace. Most of the time, receiving and living into this gift feels more like a dream than reality.

This is short notice but we will be attending the 2:00 movie, “The Majestic,” at the Artcraft in Franklin on Friday, November 4. It’s free! The storyline is about an old movie theater in 1951. It stars Jim Carrey and Martin Landau. A blacklisted Hollywood writer gets into a car accident, loses his memory, and settles down in a small town, where he is mistaken for a long lost son.
We will eat at Ann’s Restaurant (77 W Monroe St) at 12:00. It has been rated #1 of 67 restaurants in Franklin by TripAdvisor.
We will leave the church at 11:30 and return to the church around 5:00 as the movie is 2 1/2 hours long.

PASTOR APPRECIATION MONTH | THANK YOU, PASTORSAs we wrap up Pastor Appreciation Month, the desire of the New Hope Council is that we have all taken a deeper look at just how well our pastors, as well as our ministry leaders, serve our church. Yes, we’ve made a special effort this month to let them know how much we appreciate them. But our prayer is that we will all make the effort and take the time to encourage and pray for and express our appreciation for all of our leaders all year long. Remember to look for the prayer calendar on Sunday and initial a date, signifying your commitment to pray for New Hope and our pastors and leaders on that date each month. (More often is good, of course!) Also on Sunday, we will have a reception with some goodies . . . join us in letting our church leaders know how much we appreciate their fruitful ministry!
