Mission Trip to aid Louisiana Cleanup |
updated 9/22/21 - click the picture to watch their presentation.
|
Click above to see their announcement.
We left for Mandeville, LA on Sunday Sept. 19 in conjunction with IDES to do some hurricane relief work. Work will include cleaning up debris, tree removal, tarping roofs, and mucking out homes. We'll be sleeping in a local church, which as of now does not have power. Hot showers will be available, however! As of now, we'll be packing in our own food, and having "brown bag" meals that require no cooking/baking. These are the conditions that many in the New Orleans area have lived with since Hurricane Ida made landfall on August 29.
Molly sent Matt this picture on Monday and said that this was the first project their team tackled.
Fred and Molly Plantz are in Mandeville, LA with a team from IDES helping in the cleanup of the aftermath of hurricane Ida. Molly sent me this picture on Monday.
Please pray for their safety in their work and for safe travel as they return home at the end of the week.

First Sunday Food Drive |
(updated 9/9/21)
|
Every 1st Sunday is the day to bring in a bag of nonperishable food items for Caring Hands Food Pantry in Wildwood. Caring Hands is an outreach of First Baptist Church of Wildwood. Items often requested by clients are corn muffin mixes, grits, and peanut butter. If you would rather write a check instead of shop, please make it out to Caring Hands and put it in the offering plate and we will be sure they get it. Thank you for your continued support for this worthwhile ministry.

We are partnering with Fairway Christian Church and IDES to pack meals for Haiti. Our food pack is scheduled for Friday, October 1, and Fairway will pack their meals the following day. The combined goal is to pack 90,000 meals. IDES will see that the meals reach Haiti. |
Watch the video above to see how it all works.

New Life has participated in food packs three or four times before. It is a great service project that almost everyone can participate in. And on top of all of that, we have a great time doing it.
Sign up in the foyer. Everyone is welcome and we can use all the help we can get.

A message from the Elders |
(updated 9/15/21)
|
Attendance was down but as we stressed last week, each individual needs to make the health decision that they are most comfortable with.
The exciting news I had to share from the results of the Elder’s meeting is that we will soon have an addition out front that we think will draw more attention to our beautiful campus and hopefully bring more people inside. We signed a contract and put a deposit on a new monument sign structure which will replace the one we have now at the roadside. It will have an LED screen on both sides which will allow us to promote special services, programs, and Bible studies.
Please call on us if you have a need. Remember, we are here for you!

A Message from Mike |
(updated 9/22/21)

I know God is sending people our way, and it is won-derful to see you worshipping. Remember worship is not something we watch; it is something we do. Then we need to respond to what He is doing.
1 Chronicles 16:25-29 says, “For the Lord is great and greatly to be praised; He is also to be feared above all gods. For all the gods of the peoples are idols, but the Lord made the heavens. Honor and Majesty are before Him; strength and gladness are in His place. Give to the Lord, O families of the peoples, give to the Lord the glory and strength. Give to the Lord the glory due His name; bring an offering and come before Him. Oh, worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness!
It is not too late to join us for our Christmas program if you would like. Please feel free to call me. We will begin working on our 2021 Christmas Worship Celebration entitled “Almost There” soon. We would love to have you join us. Orchestra is from 4-5:15 and choir is from 6-7:30. Please feel free to call me anytime at 407-683-0137.
It is fun doing ministry together. God is so good!
Blessings, Mike

"The further a society drifts from the truth, the more it will hate those who speak it." - George Orwell
Work will soon begin on replacing the sign at the entrance to our campus.
The new sign will reflect the design of our building and include a 4’ X 8’ electronic display which will allow us to project pretty much anything we want. It is double-sided so people will be able to see it from either direction. It will be a quality improvement to our campus.

The next meeting for Next Steps is scheduled for October 30th. There will be a signup in the church lobby before the event and we will announce it ahead of time for this informative meeting.

You will meet the elders, the staff, and some of the ministry team leaders. You'll learn about the origins of the church, how we are organized, our leadership, and how you can connect. It begins with breakfast and ends with lunch.
People begin to arrive at the Fellowship Center about 8:30 and there are breakfast items there for everyone to enjoy. The actual program begins at 9:00am and we continue until about noon, ending with a fantastic lunch. We have a lot of fun and you will learn a lot. So, if you feel “new” or you would just like more information about NLCC, we hope you will attend.

Tech Tips |
(updated 9/22/21)
|
QR Code
There is now a QR code on our printed media. Most smart phones have a QR app built in. Just turn on your camera and point it in direction of the QR. It will automatically take you to our website. You can also get an app at the app store. But this is cool: some phones will create a QR right from the contacts on your smart phone. What next? Maybe you could even turn on the lights with an app. Oh wait . . . .
Cast Icon
You probably didn't know that you can cast from your laptop directly to a smart TV. In the bottom search box type "Cast to" and your TV should be listed among the other devices on your network. You can also get Chrome Cast for a reasonable price, install the app and you are in business. You can live-stream the church services and movies right from you phone to the TV, full size and a perfect picture. Wow, great stuff.
