Welcome to those who are crazy enough to help bring NEW HOPE to ASHLAND! Isn't God amazing?This blog will serve as the official site for updates and information about the Ashland Campus...coming in OCTOBER, 2008! (and trust me, the leaves will be falling before you know it!)
I pray all is well with you this week and that you had a great time of seeking the King this Christmas. I have been busy with lots going on...see my BLOG, for full details on my life and other thoughts and news for New Hope at large:
1. Our next meeting is Thursday, January 10th @ 6:30 pm @ the Loudonville Campus. This will probably be our last gathering in Loudonville as we will be moving to Ashland for the rest of our meetings. If you live closer to Loudonville, let's consider carpooling to save resources both natural and financial!
2. So, at our Thursday, January 24th gathering, it will be held at the Sandberg Leadership Center at Ashland Theological Seminary (Rooms 303-304). The Seminary has graciously allowed us to use their amazing facilities for fee...kitchen included! We serve a great God. Now if we can only get the JC Penny people to do the same...we can pray that they will!
3. We will being community outreach events in February or March and will have a preview service in April. (See attached calendar). Always replace your old calendar as these are all very tentative with my schedule that can change, but I am trying to schedule out enough to keep us on track. If you cannot open the attachment and print, please contact my Assistant Vicki: vicki@newhopewired.tv or call: 419.994.1112 and she will fax or mail you one.
A preview service if you are wondering is a full blown service that we will run 1 time and advertise to get more people excited about the vision and possibly attend and join the launch team. We hope to do 3 before our October launch.
Remember...those who were there last time...your assignments:
2. Bring someone with you next time!
Childcare and dinner will be provided for each meeting from here on out. Vicki will e-mail with details.
If you are interested in coming to our next meeting...come on out, NO OBLIGATIONS! We are all just trying to get to know each other, but if our style of reaching the community for Christ appeals to you and you live near Ashland...come on out...we want to see you there!
Can't wait for all the amazing things that will happen because of YOU and your participation!

Blessings and peace.
