Old Testament Survey
Graham McKeague will be concluding his fascinating series on the Old Testament on Sunday, April 17th!  We hope you have enjoyed this opportunity to learn more about the Old Testament and also the accompanying photography exhibit in the entry way by artist Jill McKeague!

Easter Services Next Sunday!
Join us on April 24th at 6:40 AM for our annual celebration of the Resurrection of our Lord! We will again be at the Mt. Home Cemetery, 1402 West Main Street. Pastor Ken Norberg will be leading worship! Normal church services will take place at the regular times at New Day as well, but this spectacular sunrise celebration is worth getting up early!

More Changes!
Notice something missing? The pass-through window has been removed from the kitchen! Because it has been rarely used and causes noise and distraction during service when food prep is going on, we have walled in this area to provide more space for our growing artwork display area. Please thank Bill Padgham for his awesome construction work!

We Love Adam and Terra Shockley!
And we want to show them our love and appreciation for all their dedicated service over the years with Children’s and Youth Ministries. Adam and Terra are facing big changes in their lives so they are stepping down from these responsibilities, and we wish to honor and thank them. An Open House will be held on Sunday, May 1st from 2-4 PM here at New Day.

Take a Walk on the Wild Side
Of the church, that is! Did you know that behind the building there is beautiful acreage and a nicely kept walking trail? Now that spring is here, we are inviting the church to take a stroll and prayer walk in the peace of God’s amazing creation!

Old Testament Survey

Easter Sunrise Service!

Home Cemetery, 1402 West Main Street (across from Henderson Castle).   Normal church services will take place at the regular times at New Day as well, but this spectacular sunrise celebration is worth getting up early for!

$2000 Given to New Day SC!
Great job New Day! The $2000 we sent to the Joneses and New Day South Carolina was even more of a blessing than we had hoped–it paid off a burdensome debt they were expecting to be under for the next year! Having this debt gone will make it easier for the Joneses to apply for a home loan. Thank you for being so generous and blessing our daughter church so much!

Angel Food—Last Day to Order!!
Angel Food orders will be taken during intersection and after second service. Orders for the next distribution must be placed by Sunday, April 10th. Distribution is 8:30-10:00 AM on Saturday, April 23rd. See Pat and Dave Musall for more info.
