Ready, Set, Launch!

What a God thing!

Last Sunday night we enjoyed some great fellowship around the fire as we ate and shared what God has been doing in our lives, how we got where we are, why we believe we are were we are, and I was blessed to share some thoughts on where I believe God is leading us to go.

I have said it before, and I hope to say it repeatedly, I am truly blessed to be serving at New Church. God has allowed me to witness some amazing growth steps in many partners as we have taken a huge step of faith.

Sunday evening I was amazed as some of the recent attendees share what God has been doing in their lives on and the encouragement and sanctuary New Church has been for them. One comment that I really loved (trying to remember it word for word): "my family and I are in need of some healing and I feel this a place that will allow or help us do that." WOW! The very thing we are striving for and want to be in a church God is bringing to pass!

Another comment was how simple things are at New Church. Isn't the gospel and love of Christ simple?

We are almost at "opening" Sunday. Many have been personally invited. Please pray that in the coming weeks and months New Church is able to shine the light of love into the darkness of people's hearts and pain as we reflect Christ. Pray that we as a church stay on our knees humbly before God and not take a bit of His glory but return all the praise to Him as he allows us to be a part of seeing people's lives be changed.

Our first six weeks will be focused on addressing "felt needs" as we dive into the life of Joseph and look at how BETRAYAL, although definitely painful and damaging, can be turned into good when we look up to God instead of around at our circumstances.

Announcements:

Keep checking out www.newchurch4u.com as Kent keeps things updated with photos and such.

Bible study still on Wednesday evenings at 7 at Scott's.

New bible study options will be emerging very soon.

God gave us a "want" this week in providing for the purchase of a projector and rear projection screen for our services allowing the children's church to use the other projector and screen.

Thanks to all for your support and prayer support!

God is alive and on the move! I hope we aren't too self involved to miss Him?!

Have a blessed Day!
