Ash Wednesday

 Ash Wednesday
Ash Wednesday, February 17th, is the day we begin a period of sober reflection, self-examination, and spiritual redirection. New Hope UM Church will hold an Ash Wednesday Service in the sanctuary at 7:00 p.m. Please make plans to join us.

Originating in the fourth century, the season of Lent spans 40 weekdays beginning on Ash Wednesday and climaxing during Holy Week with Holy Thursday (Maundy Thursday), Good Friday, and concluding the Saturday before Easter.

By having the forehead marked with the sign of a cross, this symbolizes that the person belongs to Jesus Christ, who died on a Cross. Also, having your forehead signed with ashes is a fitting and visible spiritual reminder that encourages one to adopt an attitude of prayer, repentance, and humility. As James said: “Humble yourselves before the Lord, and He will lift you up.” (James 4:10 New International Version).

Bible Study

 Jonah & the Whale
Join us on Wednesday, February 24th, at 7:00 p.m. in the Church Fellowship Hall for Bible Study. This is a new 5 week series on the Book of Jonah. Is the Book of Jonah a real “whale of a tale” or a big fish story? Please make plans to join us.
