ANNOUNCEMENTS:
This Sunday is our Outdoor Baptism Service! There will be one service at 10:30 am. Following the morning service, we will have lunch together by the pond. NLF will provide the meat and drink; please bring a dish to share in this meal together. Last names A-M please bring a dessert; Last names N-Z please bring a salad. Please bring your own lawn chairs. In case of inclement weather, the service and lunch will be moved indoors.
Mission Opportunity/School and Craft Supplies Needed:
Renee Helmkamp, one of the missionaries New Life supports, is asking for much needed school and craft supplies for students at Genesis. Renee serves with Students International in the Dominican Republic at Genesis, a school which provides care for children with special needs. There will be a sign up at the Info Desk with a list of items needed. Let’s come along beside Renee and help provide the students and staff at Genesis with much needed supplies! Contact Jasmin Miller if you have any questions. Thanks New Life!
