ANNOUNCEMENTS

OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD UPDATE
“… and he took the children in his arms, put his hands on
them and blessed them.” Mk 10:1. Members of New Hope
lovingly donated 159 shoebox gifts to Samaritan’s Purse.
They will be sent to needy children in India, Estonia,
Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, Angola, Armenia, Romania, Belarus,
Ukraine, and Bosnia along with other boxes collected from
the Mid-South region of the U.S. May God bless you for
your generosity and love for these less fortunate children.

CHANGE IN THE SUNDAY MORNING SERVICES - The deacons are
making a proposal to go to one service on Sunday Mornings.
Sunday School would begin at 9:00 a.m. and the Church
Service would begin at 10:30 a.m. The new schedule would
begin in January. This would be done on a six month trial
basis. The church will be voting on this proposal in the
December Business Meeting. If you have any comments or
questions concerning this proposal, please feel free to
contact any of the deacons.
