Greetings!   
 
As you'll see below, we have LOTS going on in the next few weeks.  Please keep all our activities in your prayers.   We especially need your help and support for the yard sale and car wash this weekend. The yard sale proceeds will go towards repairs in the Youth Center (House on the Corner) and the candle sale and car wash proceeds will go towards the mission trip and summer camps. 

We have several families impacted by last Saturday's tornado.  Please keep Sheila Simpson, Veronica Harden and Shirley Jackson's daughter, Dawn, in your prayers as they deal with the aftermath of the storm. I have been working with Chris Herbert at Genesis and Terry Bentley at Guntersville 1st to help Sheila Simpson's family. They have lost both their home and their car was damaged.  I have committed to helping them replace the broken glass in their car so they can drive it.  We will take a special offering this Sunday to assist them.   

This Sunday, I am preaching at Moody UMC for their homecoming (and to baptize my friends' baby!) and Milanda Taylor will bring the message at New Life.  She has lots of great surprises for you--drama and the children singing!  You won't want to miss!

May God bless your week!

Pastor Sherill

On Sunday May 2nd, We will have the pleasure of hearing our Youth Director, Ms. Milanda Taylor, preach on the Subject of Worship!

 Scripture will be 2 Samuel 6:12-15.
 NEW LIFE SHEPHERD MINISTRY

In March 2010, we will begin our Shepherd Ministry with zeal.

We need each of you to be praying to find out if God is leading you into this ministry.

The Shepherd Ministry will be making phone calls, visiting, and sending cards to members of our church family.

Each member will receive a list of approximately 8 to 10 families for which you will be responsible for keeping in touch with calls, visits, and/or sending cards.

If God leads, please join us for blessings you won't believe.

Contact Nell  Barker at 728-8003
