Communion
Today is Communion Sunday. The children will remain in the adult worship service until they are dismissed to Kid’s Church.

Exploring Membership Meeting
Next week, 1/11 is the date of the next Exploring Membership Meeting for all who would like more information about connecting at New Day. The meeting includes lunch after church. Please sign up on the Connection Card today to reserve your space!

Kids Church Luncheon
Save the date! January 25th will be a Kids Church Workers appreciation luncheon.

Building Use
Anytime the church building is going to be used it MUST get onto the church calendar. No exceptions–from a Kid’s Church meeting to a life group to a bigger event, etc. You can find a Building Use Form at the Connection Counter. To view the calendar go to www.newdaycommunity.org and click on the “calendar” page.

Lost and Found
The lost and found is overflowing! Please claim your items from the table in the Family room after the service.

A Year of Giving
Every Sunday of 2009 we will give away a gift! We are doing this for a variety of reasons which include:
God is a giver and we want be a reflection of His character.
Giving moves in “the opposite spirit” of the culture of fear that is so strong in this year of economic turmoil.
Giving releases blessing.
Giving is at the heart of the gospel message, “God gave his only begotten son.”
And finally it is just plain FUN.

Here are ways you can participate:
You can designate part of your offering to the Weekly Gift fund by writing it on the offering envelope.
You can bring in a gift that you want to donate to the weekly give away. or you can bring in a gift for someone specific (at least one week prior).
On the Sundays when no one has specified a recipient, we will select someone to receive a gift in some random way.

Be prayerful and open to the leading of the Holy Spirit. Use this as an opportunity not only to bless others by giving, but also to hear the Holy Spirit leading us to meet specific needs in others lives. This is going to be GREAT!
