THANK YOU | STARS DAY CAMP & VBS
Our annual STARS Day Camp and Vacation Bible School week was a huge success, thanks to so many of you! First, thank you to the parents of the campers who entrusted their children to us for a week of fun and learning. Second, thank you to those who served our team in some capacity. Whether you provided a meal for the team, donated supplies, helped oversee stations, drove children, gave financial gifts, served as a small group leader; or most importantly prayed for us throughout the week, we appreciate you so much! Third, thank you to our students, who served faithfully throughout the week.
STARS and VBS wouldn’t be possible without all you and we are so thankful for the investment you made in the lives of children and students during this special week.

Andrea Fisher
2023-03-05 10:00 - 12:30
Andrea Fisher is stepping down from high school ministries (INFUSE) to pursue a master’s degree in family counseling. While she will no longer be leading, she will still be a small group leader and involved in STARS Day Camp.

We will be recognizing her on Sunday morning, March 5, but we’ll also be hosting a reception following the service. Former students and families are especially encouraged to come.
Cards and notes of encouragement are welcomed. You may bring those on Sunday, to the reception. We hope you will join us in celebrating and praying for Andrea & Brant in their new chapter of ministry. We’ll have some treats to celebrate.

Blood Drive
2023-03-01 17:00 - 20:30
BLOOD DRIVE | March 1, 5-8:30PM
Blood is unique in our healthcare ecosystem. It cannot be synthetically made, meaning volunteers are the only way to provide blood to those in need. And the demand is great: every two seconds, someone in America needs a blood transfusion.
You can give the gift of life at our Blood Drive with New Hope Church. Schedule your donation appointment by following the link below: SCHEDULE YOUR LIFESAVING DONATION HERE!
One in seven patients entering a hospital require blood to be available. This ranges from trauma victims to patients battling sickle cell disease or Thalassemia, or to ensure a successful organ or bone marrow transplant. Cancer patients use 25% of all blood donations and blood transfusions are needed in one out of every 83 newborn deliveries in America today, a rate that has increased by more than 50% between 2006 and 2015. The list goes on.
In short, all of us are likely to know someone who will need blood. Despite this, only 3% of all Americans donate blood. A reality that should trouble us all. Donate Blood. Spread Awareness. Make a Difference.
We have a total of 8 appointments scheduled with 27 total possible appointment slots. Our goal is to collect 15 units. Please be sure to eat a healthy meal and drink plenty of water before your arrival.

Women's Wed AM Bible Study
2023-01-04 08:00 - 2023-01-05 09:00
WOMEN’S BIBLE STUDY | WEDNESDAYS @ 8AM
The ladies are starting a new study on Wednesday, January 4, at 8am in room C28. The study is “Amos: An Invitation to the Good Life” by Jennifer Rothschild. Cost of the book is $25.00. Sign up by clicking here.
Amos is often called “the prophet of doom”, but he promoted the God-life, which is in fact the good life. Every condemnation he spoke serves to us as an invitation, to “seek God and live” (Amos 5:4). Come to live an assured, faithful, chosen, humble, justly, prayerful, and hopeful life. This kind of living will bring us and others around us peace and true prosperity.
