God-given Gifts

Can you believe that July is almost over and we are moving quickly towards the beginning of the school year? The end of July and beginning of August is a crucial time for New Harvest, especially in Family Life. We are working hard to make this an amazing year for all of our families. The key to our success is the incredible volunteers we have that faithfully serve our children and students throughout the year.

The next two weeks we will be presenting opportunities to join our Family Life team as a volunteer. There will be an insert in the bulletin the next two weeks that will give you an opportunity to express interest in serving. All you have to do is fill out the insert and put it in the offering box. Someone will contact you to answer your questions and to help you find out where your God-given gifts can be used the best. I eagerly anticipate working with many of you this coming year. Have a wonderful week!

God’s Blessings, Greg

Prayer

Can you believe we are already celebrating Independence Day? It seems like just yesterday students were finishing up the school year and now we are almost midway through summer vacation. Don’t worry…there is plenty of summer left to fit in all the great family adventures.

The summer has been fantastic from our standpoint, with a great response from many Relief Drivers. However, we still have many more opportunities for you to serve! If you can serve in a classroom just ONE SUNDAY in July or August, please let us know today. There are sign up sheets at each Check In station.

As the summer rushes by, there is one activity that you can do with your children that is vital to their spiritual development…prayer. Taking time to pray with your children through all the busyness of summer will send a powerful message about the importance of their relationship with God. If prayer isn’t part of your regular routine, what better time to begin than right now? Start praying together and see how God works in the life of your family!

Have a great week!
