Entering Newfields at 11AM
This month we will be going to Newfields to view Art in Bloom, the Lume, spring blooms outside and the Lilly house. We are very honored that our own, Nancy Craig’s daughter, Ann, has a floral arrangement in Art In Bloom. There are 39 breathtaking floral arrangements to view. The Art in Bloom ticket will also get you into the museum, the Lume (Monet and Friends) and everything else I listed. We will eat lunch at the museum or bring a sack lunch.
Cost: $25 plus $1.75 fee, total $26.75
We will carpool. Please let Sue Galloway (317.201.0449) know if you are willing to drive and how many people can fit in your car including yourself.
Return time will be up to those in your car as there are so many events to see that day.
Each person must buy their own ticket and they sell out fast, so buy it ASAP. Buy your ticket for the 11 o’clock entry.
I will tell you/show you how to buy the ticket online:
1. Go to: discovernewfields.org
2. Click buy tickets at top
3. click on Art in Bloom
4. Click on red dot “Mar 24, Fri” and select time by pushing arrows on the right, selecting 11:00 AM
5. Select number of tickets under senior 55 and up.
6. Go to bottom red button that says buy tickets.
7. Next page at bottom, hit red button, “buy now.”
(If you still can’t figure this out, Sue will send photos of each step, just let her know if you need them.)
After you have bought your ticket, please let Sue (317.201.0449) know so she can put you on the sign-up list.

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.
So, we hope you will join us in celebrating her service and love of New Hope and especially our high school students and families. 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.

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.

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.
