New Life Update

Seven weeks from Sunday will be April 1 and this is the date of our first service at New Life Downtown. We are publishing Easter Sunday as our grand opening; however we will have a service the week before to ensure we are ready. Although time is flying faster than I can imagine, there are many things that are getting accomplished. Yesterday we had a meeting with folks who are capable of helping us with our curtains, sound system, video and even lighting. They have committed to giving us the merchandise at cost. We are just waiting to hear what that cost will be….We need to pray that we will be able to raise the money necessary for this to happen.

I also received confirmation that a Pastor friend of mine from out in California is willing to come out over the weekend of February 23-26. He has consulted with many churches and helped them establish a working outreach and follow up plan. I think he will be a great benefit to have here. We are planning to have a meeting on Friday, February 23 at our house with anyone interested in being actively involved in the outreach and follow up ministries. In addition, we will have a CORE GROUP/LAUNCH TEAM MEETING for all of us on Saturday, February 24 from 4:00 – 6:00pm. This will be held at the Scarritt Building downtown. We will plan to arrange for childcare as well. If at all possible we need everyone to come since we will be laying out the outreach/follow-up strategy and we need everyone to be active inviting, etc. We also will have our printed brochures and flyers to pass out at that time.

God Bless.
Pastor Troy
