What’s Happening at New Hope 1/30/09

Maybe you find yourself wanting to make the ‘Focus on Four’ spiritual growth commitments in 2009, but you just don’t know HOW to give back even a portion of your finances to God. Let’s be honest with each other – we are facing some tough times economically, and the thought of tithing brings large amounts of doubt to your faith. You need to experience Financial Peace!

Financial Peace University:
Register Now & Classes Begin February 8th, 2009

FPU is a 13-week class taught by Dave Ramsey via DVD, followed by small group discussion, which equips individuals and families with biblically-based accountability that will train them to manage their resources. The cost is $99 per family unit (cost covers materials) and will take place every Sunday @ 3pm in the Fellowship Center starting Feb. 8th. Stop by the front porch for info. Or email Pastor jerry@newhopecommunitychurch.org.
A Note from Pastor Brent about Financial Peace University
FPU is a PERFECT Invest & Invite Opportunity. Right now God may have placed people within your circle of influence who are experiencing tremendous financial strain. Have you thought about using FPU as an Invest & Invite opportunity? If you haven’t, please prayerfully consider inviting and attending this class with your un-churched or un-believing friend. The Lord might be allowing our nation’s current economic downturn to provide the perfect environment for you to use your influence to help them experience friendship with God …in addition to Financial Peace.

Pre-Engagement Workshop
February 2 & 9th, 7-9pm in Room 112

As we get closer to Valentine's Day couples often turn their thoughts to love and marriage and wonder if as a couple they are ready to take that next big step of engagement. New Hope is hosting a 2-week pre-engagement workshop to discover if as a couple you are ready for that step, why Godly character is non-negotiable in relationships, and the “how to’s” of setting boundaries for courtship and other essential topics.
To register please call Shanin at 503-659-5683 or e-mail shanin@newhopecommunitychurch.org. The cost is FREE, but pre-registration is required. You must attend the first week in order to attend the 2nd.
Please bring your Bibles and be prepared to take notes.
