ART CAMP 2019

"Consider the Birds and Flowers!"
1st thru 7th grade completed
Art Camp 2019 has finished.
Join us for Art Camp Sunday at 10am!
Whether you already have a church home or not, we are hoping that everyone will join us tomorrow morning for a special service of worship in which we celebrate and give thanks for a great week of Art Camp.
Come hear what your children have been learning from the Sermon on the Mount as Pastor Taylor speaks on, “Don’t Be Anxious; Consider the Birds and the Flowers!” We’ll also take a moment before the service to recognize all the kids, teachers, helpers, parents etc who participated in Art Camp, and we’ll conclude the service by singing the hymn the children learned all week: “Children of the Heavenly Father.”
Finally, please join us after the service for an informal luncheon in the fellowship hall, during which we’ll take time to share favorite memories and experiences from Art Camp. Children, parents, teachers, and helpers alike are encouraged to come prepared to share (if you want). This will also be an opportunity to thank the teachers and helpers for their hard work, and to thank the kids for their hard work! We are truly blessed to have such a great group of kids this year, and we’d love this opportunity to thank them and their parents!

The Mercy of Judgment
Today marks the conclusion of our month-long series on James 2:13, where we examine a single word each week from that verse: “Mercy triumphs over judgment.” This might sound contradictory at first to our theme verse, but the exercise of God’s judgment is essential to the triumph of mercy…
Mercy Triumphs Over Regret
Did you know that there’s a theological argument that floats around that believes the crucifixion was a momentary defeat? The logic goes that the devil temporarily won, evidenced by Jesus’s death on the cross, and so God had to scramble and quickly bail out that loss with the resurrection…
My Favorite Bible Verse of 2026
This year, Paul Tripp Ministries (PTM) is celebrating 20 years of God’s faithful provision. To commemorate the anniversary, I wanted to prepare a new teaching series, something special that summarized and defined PTM’s mission: connecting the transforming power of Jesus Christ to everyday life.
The Triumph of Mercy
In the beauty of the Garden, illumined with the rays of divine glory, the hand of the Son painted splendor as far as the eyes could see. Darkness fell, black cold bleak night, an inescapable veil, a midnight shroud
over the glory that once was…
Hungry and a Rude RSVP
It is hard to grasp the glorious scenes that await us in the final kingdom. We will stand before the Lord’s throne, surrounded by people from every nation, tribe, people, and language, from every period of history and every geographic location on the globe.
We will stand in perfect unity, all our divisions gone, any previous differences now unable to separate us. We will not think about our differences because our hearts will be consumed with worship and our mouths filled with endless praise….
What happens when we look closely at birds and flowers? We find a thousand wonders that inspire awe, delight and beautiful works of art! And according to the famous Sermon on the Mount, we find this wonderful surprise: a remedy for worry and fear. Join us for New Hope’s Art Camp 2019 as we put into practice Jesus’ teaching to “consider the birds of the air”, to “consider the flowers of the field” (Matthew 6:26,28) and as we discover God’s marvelous care for His creation—and especially for His dear children.
As in previous years, every day will be packed with art—opportunities to get creative with painting, weaving, dessert decorating, and flower sculpting—just to name a few! Mark your calendar for July 29-August 2. We look forward to seeing you!
