New Hope will host a Flu Clinic TOMORROW, Wednesday, October 20 from 10 AM - 12 PM as a drive through at the Portico.

The Personnel Committee is giving the church an opportunity for everyone to share thanksgivings and appreciation to Deyber with a special offering through this Sunday, October 24. There will be a designated box in the Narthex this Sunday, or you can bring it to the church office this week. If you write a check, please make it out to Jennifer Strickland and she will gather the funds to give to Deyber. Deyber's ministry is often unseen, but you know of his hard work, his dedication to the church, and his wonderful imagination to get things done and make things work! He's a true NHBC treasure.
KidMin on Wednesdays

Kids will be looking at Mark 2 and the story of how Jesus heals a Paralyzed Man as we discover that people can help our faith grow.
Youth on Wednesdays

"Purpose"

Our purpose is our contribution to the world. Like a compass pointing north, it gives us direction. But for adolescents, answering the question, 'What do I want to do when I grow up?' is a loaded question. There is so much pressure behind the question because we all want to matter. For the next few weeks we are unpacking this question to discover what is God's purpose for us and discover that maybe we are overthinking the question. 

Join in youth group tomorrow night at 6:00 PM!
Youth & Parent Survey on Sunday Nights

Recently, our youth have asked about extending their time together on Sunday afternoons to 2 hours. I wanted to sent out this survey to ask for family input on this idea. It is exciting to me that they have this interest. Thank you for taking a moment to complete this survey!
~ ADULT BIBLE STUDY ~

We begin this week a reading of 1 John, both in person at 6:00 PM in the Library and at 7:00 PM on Facebook Live. Now is the perfect time to join with others and continue to grow in your faith.

Where Prayer Becomes Real
by Kyle Strobel and John Coe

From the back of the book:
"Prayer isn't a place for us to be good or right. It isn't a place for us to perform or prove our worth. It's a place for us to be honest, present, and known--a place for us to offer ourselves and receive God."

Sign up with Pastor Randy by Tuesday October 26 at

Family Movie Night

YOU’RE INVITED to a FREE Outdoor Family Movie Night on Friday, October 29 at 7:00 pm. Come early, bring dinner and chairs. Meet on the Calvary Dr side in the grassy area.

Costumes are welcome!
Halloween is the one day of the year that our neighbors come to us. I encourage you not to miss this opportunity and to be intentional and present in your neighborhood this year. Use it as an opportunity to get to know your neighbors, look and listen for ways that you can pray for them. Think of ways you can be creative in welcoming your neighbor: offering a beverage such as hot cider or cocoa, yard games, or even a simple craft for kids. I'm excited to use this opportunity to meet many of my neighbors for the first time and I look forward to hearing your stories and seeing your pictures from the celebrations in your neighborhood. 
~ Pastor Lori 
As adults the idea of spiritual habits is pretty familiar to us and many of us have a least a few rhythms in place that help us to grow spiritually. Kids, on the other hand, need help figuring out how, exactly, to grow spiritually. We will have a series of activities throughout the year to help kids discover four habits that can help them grow spiritually. These four habits will cover spending time with God, spending time with others, sharing your God story and using your gifts. 

The Good News Feed is a take home family devotion that will focus on spending time with others. Kids hear about a great God who did great things. But just like famous people have "fan clubs," we can experience and get to know God in community of other like-minded followers of God. As they spend time with others, they can explore who God is together by discovering and talk about the Good News. 
Kids & Youth Connect Breakfast

We are in need of volunteers to provide breakfast on Sunday mornings. We currently have approximately 20 kids. Please click on the button below to see the available dates. Email Lori@NewHopeRaleigh.org if you have any questions.

Thank you for your willingness to help with breakfast for our kids and teens!
The struggle is real. The events of the past few years have taken a toll on everyone, you are not alone. I hope you are able to join us for our Young Adult Retreat at Lake Gaston on November 12-14. The cost is $100 (or less, depending on the final number) plus the cost of food. {I do not expect the total to exceed $125.}

To register, text newhoperaleigh yaretreat to 73256 or scan the qr code above.
