Here's the "411" on this Sunday and upcoming events...
November 11

Contagious Gratitude
Gratitude is contagious, creating a pay it forward type of culture. When was the last time you felt so grateful for something that you wanted to give back and do the same for others?

The sanctuary will look a bit different this Sunday with some of the Fantasticks set up in front. The drama ministry is a great way to invite people to New Hope. Thanks for your visual patience ... and we hope to see you and a friend at one of this weekend's performances.  
Veteran's Day- Honoring those who have served.
This Sunday we honor our Veterans who have served and sacrificed to protect our nation. We are grateful for the veterans that worship with us at New Hope. As we celebrate our veterans we are thanking God for creating people with such courage to take on this role in our country and praying that one day we may no longer have war.
“The Fantasticks” drama presentation, November 9, 10, 11th @ 7pm
The Drama Ministry is back, presenting the classic musical, The Fantasticks. Fitting into the fall sermon series, this play tells the story
of two neighboring families, their relationships and the life lessons that are learned. Some favorite songs you will probably recognize include "Try to Remember" and "Soon It's Gonna Rain." Come join us in the Sanctuary, no tickets needed! Mature subject matter.
Navigating Grief in the Holidays
THIS SATURDAY, Nov. 10th, 10am-Noon
Does the thought of the holiday season bring you more sadness and grief than joy? Are the holidays an especially difficult time for you due to the loss of a loved one? You are not alone! We encourage you to join us in the Castle Rock Room for this special workshop designed to help you navigate through this emotionally challenging time of year. No sign up needed.
THIS Sunday, November 11: 4:45-6:30
“If you comprehend it, it is not God.”- Augustine

All are welcome! 4:45-6:30pm in the Sedalia Room. Let us know you are coming so we have enough food and you can do so here: OASIS RSVP
