Our Sunday Schedule: 

9 am - Virtual Service 

Record Yourself!

In addition to our monetary offerings (access online here), we’re asking people to offer their thanksgivings during our communal online worship. This offering should be a five-second video clip recorded on your phone, sharing your first name and something for which you are thankful. Send your clip to info@newhopelutheran.org. We’ll edit the clips together and run them during future worship offering times.

Online Bible Study Opportunity – Elijah and Elisha

Join Kristi Keller (via Zoom) on Tuesday evenings from 7-8 pm for an online Bible Study on Elijah and Elisha. We will start this Tuesday night, March 31. This study will cover the lives of Elijah and Elisha as covered in 1 and 2 Kings as they dealt with idolatry, unfaithfulness and even faithfulness in Israel.  Each session is independent, so you are welcome to join at any time. To join the group, access it through the following link:

The ELCA is an official partner of the 2020 Census as we work toward a just world where all are fed and further our commitment to greater justice in public policy and the electoral process. Did you know that more than $675 billion in federal funds, grants and support to states, counties and communities is based on census data? An accurate count taken every 10 years determines electoral maps and ensures that resources more justly go where they are needed most, including to vital programs that combat poverty and hunger and support people in need. National Census Day is April 1, 2020. For your neighbor and yourself!

How to help our neighbors in need

1. Grassroots Day Resource Center is accepting donations of non-perishable food items, especially canned meats, soups, fruit, and 16-20 oz bottles of water, Donation drop off times at the DRC are M and W 10 am – 2pm and Sat 9 am -1 pm. There are also 2 donation drop off bins in front of the church that will be checked daily.

2. Grassroots main facility at 6700 Freetown Road may need prepared meals like casseroles, to be delivered to the facility to feed the 50 or so residents. More information will be forthcoming should the need arise.

3. Howard County Food Bank is staying open to help serve the food insecure. You can find information about their needs and donation times here: https://www.cac-hc.org/programs-services/food-assistance/

4. If you are a Thrivent member, consider sponsoring a Thrivent Action Team to help purchase supplies needed for food pantries or other feeding programs even after our time of isolation. School pantries will need to be restocked once schools open again. Our snack cart ministry at Patuxent Valley Middle School will need to also be restocked as our supplies were donated to help the Longfellow Elementary School community.

5. If you don’t want to or can’t venture out to shop or drop off donations, please consider making a donation to New Hope Outreach. Donations can be mailed in or donated online at https://www.newhopelutheran.org/simply-giving.html

Lenten Book Group 

We're reading “The Great Divorce” by CS Lewis during Lent. It is a short but thought-provoking book; written as a story, it has nothing to do with marital divorce, but rather the divide between Heaven and Hell. We’re using a Zoom link to allow interactive participation online via video. If you are interested, please contact Sondra Ailinger ( ksbh_ailinger@comcast.net) or Susie Jordan.
