Weekly Announcements–June 2, 2011

Communion Sunday—June 5th!
Please keep your children with you as we worship and share communion as a family.  They will be dismissed to their classes after worship.

Every monthly communion Sunday we collect non-perishable food, clothing in good condition, unopened toiletry items, toys in like-new condition, and other donations that will be taken to local ministries for distribution.

SERVE Sunday—June 5th!!!
This is your opportunity to see where you can use your gifts to serve others and support the vital ministries of New Day.  Serving at New Day is more than just filling empty positions with people–it is about getting every member at New Day connected, engaged, and using their God-given gifts!  You can attend church without serving, but you won’t get the most out of it and it is very likely you won’t feel connected. Be encouraged to consider increasing your involvement and commit to serving on SERVE Sundays so you can grow and God can pour into your life as you pour into others!

Worship at Laura Shockley’s!
Come out to spend a night of Worship with Laura Shockley!  She has missed corporate worship due to recovery from illness, so we want to invite you all to come out and worship with us at her home! Come this Tuesday, June 7th, at 7 PM and spend time in God’s presence led by Mark Morris and Carrie Miller. Contact the church office if you need directions.

Jesus Loves Kzoo—July 11th-14th

Free food is given to anyone who comes and prayer teams spread out and minister on the streets.  If you love Jesus and want to see His Kingdom reign in our city you can volunteer your time or donate supplies.  For more information, contact Tori Webb.

Raising money for Rahki and Durai
This is a missionary couple that Heather Hays met at the Toronto School of Ministry.  They are in India and need some heavenly financial intervention. Durai is dealing with a detached retina that is causing loss of vision in one eye. The couple is expecting their first child in June and needs over $900 for the delivery. If God compels you to support this couple please see Heather or Carrie Hays.
