8/25 E-News


Announcements
No Scheduled Worship at New Hope Next Week (9/4)

Red Bucket Offering—Total collected was a touch over $300!!!

Small Groups—In the next few months you may be hearing more about the possibility of small groups at New Hope.  What I’m trying to gauge is the interest level of the congregation.  These groups (6-12 people) would meet for about an hour each week or every other week to follow Bible studies or other curriculum.  (I’ve found some options)  I’m looking for leaders, as well as others who are interested in being involved. 

Ribs & UTC-- Want to support our local Presbyterian campus ministry? Need ribs for the Labor Day weekend?
The Presbyterian Campus Ministry at UT-C (Hope 808) is selling pre-cooked, ready to heat and serve pork ribs as a fund raiser. These St. Louis style ribs usually sell in high-end restaurants from $18 - $22 a plate.  And we are offering these rib racks for $16 a rack.  Each rack is one & three-quarter pounds, trimmed leaving the select portion of the rib rack. The ribs will be frozen and can be used for the holiday weekend or at any later time you may choose.
Orders may be submitted to Beth Meulenberg by Tuesday August 30. Payment can be made at the time of ordering or when you pick up. Checks should be made out to Presbyterian Campus Ministry at UT-C.
         
          Also regarding UTC—are you interested in being on the Board?  Contact Keith.

Open Table is a group of young adult-types (post-college age to 40-ish (we don’t check id’s)) within the area who will gather around tables (restaurant tables, dinner tables, coffee tables, pool tables, picnic tables, etc) for friendship, discipleship, service and more.

This event is for the whole family. Come early to swim if you’d like.

New Hope News
Lynn Meyer will be taking part in the Susan Komen Race for the Cure this year on September 25.  If you’d like to offer support, you can visit her page and offer a financial support.  Wouldn’t it be pretty cool, though, if a bunch of New Hopers got together and walked with her?  The 1 mile walk is at 2:05, while a 5k race starts at 2:00.  (Just a note—if you open the link in Google’s Chrome browser, it may be in Greek.  I don’t know why, but just try the link in another browser.  The internet is a strange, strange place.)

Pray for…
Those in the path of Hurricane Irene, and those left behind in its wake

Text for this Week 
Luke 19:28-40

After he had said this, he went on ahead, going up to Jerusalem. When he had come near Bethpage and Bethany, at the place called the Mount of Olives, he sent two of the disciples, saying, “Go into the village ahead of you, and as you enter it you will find tied there a colt that has never been ridden. Untie it and bring it here. If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you untying it?’ just say this, ‘The Lord needs it.’” So those who were sent departed and found it as he had told them.

As they were untying the colt, its owners asked them, “Why are you untying the colt?” They said, “The Lord needs it.” Then they brought it to Jesus; and after throwing their cloaks on the colt, they set Jesus on it.

As he rode along, people kept spreading their cloaks on the road. As he was now approaching the path down from the Mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to praise God joyfully with a loud voice for all the deeds of power that they had seen, saying, “Blessed is the king who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven, and glory in the highest heaven!” Some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to him, “Teacher, order your disciples to stop.” He answered, “I tell you, if these were silent, the stones would shout out.”
