New Hope Community Church

Join us Easter morning, April 21, as we celebrate our Risen Lord!

New Hope Community Church

9:10 AM – Early Praise Time

9:30 AM – Easter Service

There will be an important Congregational Meeting on Sunday, March 17, 2019 immediately after the Sunday morning service. The purpose of the meeting will be to get information from the Denominational Steering Committee and vote on leaving the Reformed Church in America (RCA) and going to the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA).  The Steering Committee has been looking into different denominations since the congregational survey in December 2018 which indicated 92 percent desired leaving the RCA.  At the Special Congregational Meeting the Steering Committee will present how they reached their decision and make recommendation to unite with the PCA. The Consistory on February 26, 2019 unanimously recommended bringing it to a vote by the congregation at a meeting March 17, 2019. There will be a time for questions from the congregation.

The mid-winter women’s Bible study, “Breathe” by Pricilla Shirer has had to be postponed numerous times already due to snowstorms and frigid weather.  We were able to begin the study on Feb. 19 but due to continued snowy weather we are postponing the final 4 study sessions until March 12, 19, 26 (skipping April 2 for Ruby’s Pantry) and finishing up on April 9. We’re excited to continue our study and learn what God has to teach us about Sabboth living!  If you have questions or would like to join this study (since we’ve only met once so far), call the church office at 715-845-8541.

The next Pop-up  Ruby’s Pantry at New Hope Community Church is scheduled for Tuesday, May 7th 2019.   Doors open at 4:30 PM; distribution is from 5:30-7:00 PM.  Remember to bring two large totes/containers to take your food home in.  If you have a cooler that may be helpful to take your for your cold/frozen food home in.

Helpful hints:  Wear weather appropriate clothing – the line forms outside. A lawn chair is helpful if you wish to sit while in line. Bring your own snack if necessary as the pantry takes place over the supper hour.  Restroom facilities before the doors open at 4:30 PM are available 3 miles south on County Road J in the Commerce Crossing/Arby’s building.

Visit www.rubyspantry.org for more information about the pantry or search Rubys Pantry- Wausau on Facebook.

Due to the snowstorm on Tuesday, April 3, the first Ruby’s Pantry had to be canceled for the safety of all.  We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.

Ruby’s Pantry is now scheduled to begin next month on Tuesday, May 1, 2018.  Doors will open at 4:30 PM and the pantry distribution is scheduled from 5:30 to 7:00 PM.
