Sunshine at NewBeginnings
Every time a client from NewBeginnings returns with their baby we are reminded of God's miracle and a little more sunshine is sprinkled on NewBeginnings.  As the new mother sits and shares with us about her new baby we are very thankful that God has brought her to NewBeginnings. 
Baby Serena (pictured below) recently visited NewBeginnings with her mother.  Serena's parents had been clients of NewBeginnings and wanted to share their baby blessing with the volunteers and staff.  It is through the support and prayers of our friends in the community that we were able to provide services to Serena's mother, as well as, continue to provide a safe place for young women to come who think that they may be pregnant.

LifeWalk 2010 A Success

LifeWalkDespite the thunderstorms and rain over 150 individuals gathered to walk for LIFE at the sixth annual NewBeginnings LifeWalk. 
"We were so blessed this year," said Patti White, Executive Director.  "We have such dedicated fundraisers and walkers.  We had individuals who gave from all over the nation through our online fundraising tool.  It was very exciting."
The event raised over $15,000 for NewBeginnings. 
A special thank you to Tom Buttram from Gospel Tract                   Society, Inc. for the donation of printing of brochures and posters. Also to Jim McDermott from Spirit FM for serving as the master of ceremonies and brightening the day of the many walkers by giving away great CDs.
