We had a great crew out helping prepare the Garden of Hope on Saturday. Help us to do it again! We are looking for more helpers on Saturday at 9 am to plant our spring planting! Thanks to those that helped this weekend.

Welcome to New Hanover Evangelical Lutheran Church!
In today’s gospel the risen Christ appears to the disciples and offers them the gift of peace. Even amid doubts and questions, we experience the resurrection in our Sunday gathering around word and meal, and in our everyday lives. Throughout the coming Sundays of Easter, the first two readings will be from the Acts of the Apostles and the first letter of Peter. Even as the early Christians proclaimed the resurrection, we rejoice in the new birth and living hope we receive in baptism.

Please consider coming out and joining us as we get dirty! It's that time of year for prep and planting of the Garden of Hope. If you enjoy working with your hands, playing in dirt, or simply like the camaraderie of friends, come on out! On the 11th, we will be doing garden clean-up and prep for the 18th, when we will be doing the planting of the spring crops. Both days begin at 9:00 A.M.
This Saturday, April 11th, Chef Chris will be serving Coffee and breakfast sandwiches along with Hot Dogs, Hamburgers and Ice Cream for those helping.
Last year, we produced 3 ¼ tons of organic produce that we gave to local Food Banks. None of this is possible without the dedication and support of our congregation and our neighbor volunteers.
We hope to see you at the GARDEN! Remember the saying "Many hands make light work"! This is also a great way to celebrate EARTH DAY! NO EXPERIENCE NECESSARY
"Every moving thing that lives shall be food for you. And as I gave you the green plants, I give you everything".
Genesis 9:3
