An opportunity to pray and practice generosity
Dear New Life,
I hope all in well with you and your family after Hurricane Irene. For some of us, the impact was minimal. For others, it turned out to be quite a headache. All in all, I’m thankful that no one was injured. Let’s continue to be in prayer for all those affected by this Hurricane.
This was the first time that we’ve ever canceled services at New Life Fellowship. While it was a difficult decision to make, we thought it was the prudent one to make in light of the projected impact on our city.
As a result of the canceled services, we didn’t get a chance to sing and worship together, come under the preaching of the word (although a “cyber-sermon” was sent) or get the chance to “practice generosity.” So, I wanted to use this letter as a means to let you know a couple of things:
1) If you would like to gather for prayer, you can do so tonight (Tuesday) at our prayer meeting, which is held at New Life, beginning at 7pm. This is a great time to gather in community to pray for the needs of our families, city and the world. It’s also a great environment to hear from God for your own life.
2) Many of you might not know that you can give (tithes and offerings) via our website. This is a very convenient way to “practice generosity.” With all the great things happening at New Life through our Sunday services, outreaches and our Community Development Corporation, you don’t want to miss an opportunity to join us in advancing the Kingdom by offering a financial gift. If you prefer to bring your tithe/offering from this past Sunday to church next week, that is totally fine. We just wanted to give you another easy option. Here’s a link you can click to give today.
Also, if you’d like to hear messages on finances and faith, feel free to check out a sermon series we did last year at New Life.
At New Life we believe that we don’t have to give…we get to give. Thanks for your all your generosity, prayer and service. Looking forward to being with you on Sunday!
Blessings,
Rich
