The Scripture References

Luke 24:13-35 New International Version (NIV) On the Road to Emmaus 13 Now that same day two of them were going to a village called Emmaus, about sev-en miles[a] from Jerusalem. 14 They were talking with each other about everything that had happened. 15 As they talked and discussed these things with each other, Jesus himself came up and walked along with them; 16 but they were kept from recognizing him. 17 He asked them, “What are you discussing together as you walk along?” They stood still, their faces downcast. 18 One of them, named Cleopas, asked him, “Are you the only one visiting Jerusalem who does not know the things that have happened there in these days?” 19 “What things?” he asked. “About Jesus of Nazareth,” they replied. “He was a prophet, powerful in word and deed before God and all the people. 20 The chief priests and our rulers handed him over to be sentenced to death, and they crucified him; 21 but we had hoped that he was the one who was going to redeem Israel. And what is more, it is the third day since all this took place. 22 In addition, some of our women amazed us. They went to the tomb early this morning 23 but didn’t find his body. They came and told us that they had seen a vision of angels, who said he was alive. 24 Then some of our compan-ions went to the tomb and found it just as the women had said, but they did not see Jesus.” 25 He said to them, “How foolish you are, and how slow to believe all that the proph-ets have spoken! 26 Did not the Messiah have to suffer these things and then enter his glory?” 27 And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he explained to them what was said in all the Scriptures concerning himself. 28 As they approached the village to which they were going, Jesus continued on as if he were going farther. 29 But they urged him strongly, “Stay with us, for it is nearly evening; the day is almost over.” So he went in to stay with them.

30 When he was at the table with them, he took bread, gave thanks, broke it and be-gan to give it to them. 31 Then their eyes were opened and they recognized him, and he disappeared from their sight. 32 They asked each other, “Were not our hearts burn-ing within us while he talked with us on the road and opened the Scriptures to us?” 33 They got up and returned at once to Jerusalem. There they found the Eleven and those with them, assembled together 34 and saying, “It is true! The Lord has risen and has appeared to Simon.” 35 Then the two told what had happened on the way, and how Jesus was recognized by them when he broke the bread.

CHURCH CAMPS --- Message from Youth Pastor Brad Unland

Our New Hope Children will be attending two camps this year at Crystal Springs Camp in Kelso, TN. Our first camp is Junior High Camp for kids going into 7th, 8th and 9th grades. We will be leaving out for this camp just after church on Sunday, June 8th and the kids will return home on Friday, June 13th in the afternoon. The second camp is Junior Camp for kids in Upper Elementary going into the 4th, 5th, and 6th grades. We will also be leaving out for this camp just after church on Sunday June 22nd and the kids will return on Friday, June 27th in the afternoon. The cost of each camp is $85 for kids who attend New Hope Church and $170 if they have friends who want to go but do not attend the church. If any child needs help in affording camp please see the Youth Pastor Brad Unland or the Assistant to the Pastor Robbie Haynes for more information. Every child needs to fill out health and camp registration forms and those can be picked up in the church office. The kids interested in camp will receive these forms this Sunday, May 4th during Children's Church. Camp has opportunities for kids to worship together and grow in Christ. They will also spend time swimming, fishing, making crafts, and eating (they eat a lot at camp!). We hope our kids are getting excited about this summer and all the great experiences they can explore. Contact Brad for details: e-mail: rbunland@yahoo.com; home phone 772-4680.
