New Creation Christmas Gifts - Blessing Bags

New Creation Christmas Blessing Bags

We want to show the men that we serve 6 months out of the year that they are still in our hearts... and in God's.

To do this, we will be collecting 25 of each of these items:
  • Knit hats
  • Men's gloves
  • Pair of warm socks
  • Small soaps
  • Wash cloth
  • Disposable razor
  • Travel size deodorant
  • Tooth brush & tooth paste
  • Pack of gum
  • Assorted candy or cookies
The goal is to package them up, wrap them up, and take to New Creation by Christmas! 

Check out the Ministry Counter to participate so we don't have 72 razors and 1 hat! :)

Let's make it a Merry Christmas for our men at New Creation!

Celebrations!

 Student Sunday!

A special thanks to all the parents and students who gave of their time and talents over Thanksgiving week.

Students could be found on stage, behind the coffee bar, collecting offering and serving communion.  If you looked in some less obvious places you'd also find students at sound boards and the camera!  

Helping students discover their gifts and experience being a part of making a service come together is a part of teaching them to walk with God.  We first model it as adults and then empower our kids as they get older.

In spite of illnesses and a holiday weekend, we came together and honored our Lord as we all worshiped together!

A special thanks to Frank Guzzo, Tom and Rebecca Burn, for empowering students. Another thanks to Scott Feeler for filling in on the visual computer last minute.  You were a blessing to us all!
