NOW HIRING
Part-time Children's Director. 
The mission of our Children's Ministry is to plant seeds in the hearts of our children to learn and to know what it is to be a child of God, to experience God's love and grace even at their young age, to be a part of the body of Christ at New Life and know how to use their gifts and talents. To help them grow and develop the heart of a servant to be the future leaders of our church, community, and nation that God is calling them to be. Please contact the church office at 256-508-3760 or by e-mail at newlifeumc@nehp.net for an application.

YOUTH WEEK AGENDA

Sign up for the week of events!!!!
 
 Youth Weekend will be held July 22nd - July 26th.  Youth Caravan from Auburn Wesley Foundation is coming to spread God's light through songs, educational programs, games and fellowship.  We will need the help of our congregation in a few areas.  Please take a look at the events and what is needed for each event.  The weekend works best with a food organizer for each event.  Melinda Dixon has graciously volunteered to organize and prepare the main course for the Lake Party, drinks and desserts need to be brought.  I still need organizers for the other events, and I know the organizers will need help preparing the food, as well.  If you are able to help with food or with needed items listed below, please send an email to Milanda at milanda@nehp.net.
