THURDSDAY FUN NIGHTS | ORGANIZATION
Have you enjoyed attending one of the New Hope family fun nights . . . aka Thurdsday? Have you not attended one yet, but keep thinking, “Maybe next time?” Have you seen people organizing one of the events and thought, “Well, I (or my family or my small group or some friends and I) could do that for one of those fun evenings?” Here’s your opportunity! We are looking for people who would be willing and able to put together the details for Thurdsdays in January, March, April, and May. (Sorry, February is already spoken for!) We even have suggestions if you’re willing to organize one month but are lacking in ideas. If you are willing to jump in with both feet, or if you are considering it but want to ask questions before committing, let’s chat! Drop a note to info@becomehope.com to get the conversation started.

When you RSVP by Tuesday afternoon to Sue Galloway (317.201.0449), please tell her 3 things:.
1. Attending lunch and trees or just lunch?

Women's Wed AM Bible Study
2024-02-28 08:00 - 2024-02-29 09:00
WOMEN’S BIBLE STUDY | WEDNESDAYS @ 8AM
Do you have trouble thinking of words to say to God when you pray? Are you afraid some emotions are too intense to express to God? Do you reach the end of a day only to realize you haven’t prayed at all? You’re not alone. Prayer is the way we relate to God, but sometimes it’s a struggle. Throughout God’s Word, we encounter many voices who teach us how to pray.
In this 7-session study, join with six beloved Bible teachers who will help you study prayers in the Bible that can inspire your own. You’ll learn that God welcomes your praise and lament, your thanksgiving and intercession. You’ll see examples of how to pray when you’re alone and when you’re gathered with others. Above all, you’ll notice there’s no one right way to pray. As you draw near to God through prayer, you’ll find your faith strengthened and your heart united to Christ.
Cost of the book is $25. Study starts February 28 (or later if inclement weather between now and then) at 8am. Click here to register.

Please be sure to eat a healthy meal and drink plenty of water before your arrival. Sign up by clicking here. Appointments are preferred, but walk-ins are welcome. There is room for 25 donors.
Interesting facts:

Children being treated for cancer, premature infants, and children having heart surgery need blood and platelets from donors of all types, especially type O.
Blood that closely matches that of a patient is less likely to be rejected by the patient and can mean fewer complications after a transfusion.
The average adult body contains 10 pints of blood.
