Announcements
Welcome!
We welcome Madison Corley into our fellowship today.
If you are visiting today, we are glad you are here! This morning
we conclude our series on the Lord's Prayer with a focus on how
God delivers us from temptation. As we gather this morning turn
your attention to Jesus Christ who defeated sin and death for our
freedom and his glory.
After the service there is a church-wide lunch and we hope you
will stay so we can meet one another. A group from our church is
traveling to Spain this summer to help with an English camp and
selling hoagies to raise funds for the trip. This is a great
opportunity to catch up with the church family and meet new
friends.
There will be a Town Meeting next Sunday, May 31st at 10am. Please join
us during the normal School of Discipleship hour in the worship area to catch
up on what is happening with our church plans. Joshua will be sharing with us,
and the elders will discuss our continuing plans for the future.
Stand for Freedom: In the lobby today, you can learn more about this
awareness event and about a petition you can sign to promote the end of
modern-day slavery and sexual trafficking. The event is open to all on Friday,
May 29 from 4-midnight in the parking lot of our sister church, New Life
Glenside. For more information contact Larry Ackley or Todd Hill.
Blood Drive. This Friday, May 29th from 1:30-7pm, New Life is sponsoring its
semi-annual community blood drive in partnership with the Red Cross. In
November we donated 87 pints. One hour, one pint saves 3 lives. See Deb
Leonard to make an appointment; [email protected]
