December Dates to Remember
MISSION SUNDAY—
WHAT IS FAITH PROMISE?
IT IS A PROMISE TO GOD—A promise to
give a specific amount to missions through
the missionary program of New Hope
Christian Church.
IT IS A PROMISE THAT REQUIRES FAITH—
You must believe that without Jesus Christ
a person is lost. (John 14:6; Acts 4:12)
You must believe that we are responsible
for sharing the message about Jesus Christ.
(Matthew 18-20) You must trust God to
supply the material resources that will
enable us to carry out His Great
Commission. (Zachariah 4:5)
IT IS A PERSONAL COMMITMENT BETWEEN
YOU AND THE LORD—No one but the Lord
will know what you have promised to give.
No names are required.
IT IS A BLESSING—Accepting the challenge
to reach the lost will lead you to a closer
walk with the Lord as you trust Him to do
more through your life. (Acts 20:35)
On Sunday, November 9, we will have the
opportunity to make our promise to give
towards missions in the coming year.
Sunday, November 23 at Noon ~
Our annual celebration of
the harvest will be
immediately following the
2nd service on Sunday,
November 23 in
Fellowship Hall. The ham, rolls, drinks and
table service will be provided. Last names
beginning with A-J, please bring a salad
AND dessert. Last names beginning with
K-Z, please bring a vegetable AND dessert.
Make plans now for this celebration of all
that God has provided!

There is always a need of willing hearts and hands to volunteer assisting with furniture deliveries,
and answering phones. Additionally, they have several neighbors that could use a little extra help with raking leaves, cleaning gutters etc. which would be a great family time of serving! Contact April Wilson at Love INC offices, #765-482-6152.
The Lebanon Community of Shalom serves Lebanon and Boone County. Shalom provides a hot meal to those in need on Tuesday evenings and on Saturdays at 11am. Different groups prepare and serve the meal and encourage those that visit
sharing Christian love. They also provide the Shalom Kids Sack Lunch Program, making sure all kids, still have food when school is on break. In 2013, 4,877 children benefit-ted from this program. They currently have about 12 sites around Boone County where these lunches can be picked up, when school is out.

Kidz Worship will be helping pack the shoeboxes dropped off during the collection week of Operation Christmas Child. Our Packing/Pizza/Ice Cream Party is Sunday, November 23 from 5-7pm.

If you are interested in becoming involved in Children’s Ministry, please contact Liz Dale in the church office as we have a need for volunteers. If you don’t want to work a particular Sunday, we can always put you on the substitute list. To volunteer, we ask that you fill out the paperwork for a background check. We also need extra people to serve at the doors for security. Thank you for helping to serve our children and keeping them safe.
