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? There is a 5k run/walk at 2:00. Lynn plans to walk this. There is also a 1 mile fun run and walk at 2:05 if you would prefer to do that. (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…

Text for next Week (9/11)
Luke 19:41-48
Jesus Weeps over Jerusalem
As he came near and saw the city, he wept over it, saying, ‘If you, even you, had only recognized on this day the things that make for peace! But now they are hidden from your eyes. Indeed, the days will come upon you, when your enemies will set up ramparts around you and surround you, and hem you in on every side. They will crush you to the ground, you and your children within you, and they will not leave within you one stone upon another; because you did not recognize the time of your visitation from God.’
Jesus Cleanses the Temple
Then he entered the temple and began to drive out those who were selling things there; and he said, ‘It is written,
“My house shall be a house of prayer”;
but you have made it a den of robbers.’
“My house shall be a house of prayer”;
but you have made it a den of robbers.’
Every day he was teaching in the temple. The chief priests, the scribes, and the leaders of the people kept looking for a way to kill him; but they did not find anything they could do, for all the people were spellbound by what they heard.
