What Season Are You In?
There is work to do in every season.
Do you know the work of the season you're in?
How do you know?

There will be a Congregational Meeting immediately following the 9am service. The purpose of the meeting is to act on the recommendations of the Session to approve the Terms of Call for Pastors Russ Kane and Jordan Warntjes, for the coming year.
Pastor Russ begins his Sabbatical on Monday, July 16th and will be returning the last week of September. During this time, Russ will not be receiving emails and is unavailable for all pastoral duties. Pastor Jordan will be the acting Head of Staff and any pastoral needs should be directed to him. Any other questions or concerns should be directed to our Pastor’s Assistant, Lisa Womack ( lwomack@newhopepres.org ). Please join us in praying that this will be a time of renewal and refreshment for Russ, Lee Ann and the family.
It's not too late to return those Pledge Cards
 for the 2018-2019 Operating Budget!
Mother Theresa said, "It's not how much we give, but how much love we put into giving." The Operating Budget supports not only building upkeep, day-to-day expenses including lighting, water, and staff positions, but also supports the ministries of New Hope. As you consider making a pledge to the annual operating budget campaign, remember that your gift not only has an impact on New Hope, but on the giver as well. A life of stewardship is a transformed one! Thank you to those that have already returned their pledge cards! Extra pledge cards can be found on the Welcome Table on Sundays or click here to give.

Children's Ministry Update! New Check-In System! 
We love your children and want them to know we are looking out for them. With the new system, check your child in BEFORE service at one of the kiosks conveniently located right outside of the sanctuary.  Each child will be given a name tag, and you, as the parent, will then get a slip that matches the code your child has. When you go to pick up your child, present that slip so we can ensure your child is being picked up by the right person.  
Stop the Bleed, Become an Immediate Responder
New Hope will host two upcoming sessions of bleeding control training,
led by Douglas County Search and Rescue (DCSAR). This is an important skill, especially in a world where delayed response can result in victims dying from uncontrolled bleeding within 5-10 minutes. The training focuses on teaching participants bleeding control techniques, including how to use their hands, dressings and tourniquets. DCSAR is offering FREE ACS Bleeding Control classes to residents of Douglas County. The next session will be on Sunday, August 12 @Noon and will max out at 30 people, so please take the opportunity to register now:
