Here
are some ways in which you can assist us
as we reach out to help others in Jesus'
name.
Helping people in need
Locally —
New Life gives 10 percent of our offering
to help people through specific causes
and missions. We help people in need of
food and clothing by donating items to
Cross-Lines
Cooperative Council Inc. on the first
Sunday of each month. We
provide a safe, structured environment
for neighborhood youth one night a week
— encouging each teen personally
while also sharing examples of how a relationship
with God can lift up their lives every
day. Each fall our youth give
back by walking door-to-door distributing
smoke alarm batteries and encouraging
our neighbors to stay safe.
Regionally
— Folks from New Life travelled
to Mississippi in the aftermath of Hurricane
Katrina to help people clean debris and
repair their storm-damaged homes. Others
have rolled up their sleeves to help families
at an impoverished Indian reservation
by repairing their roofs and nurturing
their children through a fun week of Vacation
Bible School.
Globally —
Several people from our church family
have travelled to both Mexico and Ecuador
on work trips to support needy families.
Part of our offering regularly goes to
support missionaries Don and Chris Smith
in Kenya. Half the population of this
African country lives below the poverty,
and the life expectancy is only 45 years.
The Smiths train people to minister to
others through the Kima
International School of Theology.
Praying
for people
He's already moved mountains and parted
seas, so we know that God is able to do
anything. God hears all, and so much more
so when we pray together. Let us pray for
you or those who you know are in need ...
whether for comfort, healing, hope, direction,
work, faith, love or whatever the need is.
You're
welcome to join us during group prayer before
each service, drop a prayer request into
the offering plate, we'll pray with you
at the alters at the end of each service,
or even call or email
us your prayer requests.
