Hi New Life!

Greetings in the wonderful, powerful, matchless Name of Jesus, our Lord! Trusting you are having a great week. Hope that Sunday was a good day for you, and especially was a special day for all of our moms. The Lord certainly has a special place in His heart for moms, and loves and appreciates each one so much!

I want to thank James Carter for his diligence in producing the Live-streams each Sunday morning and evening. And, a special thank you to Pastor Bill for his ministry each Sunday morning and evening as well. And, a special thank you to Stacie Amendola-Johnson for leading us in worship Sunday morning. And, thank you Pamela Amendola for her faithfulness in all of the administrative work that goes on behind the scenes each week. Each one plays such an important part in organizing, presenting, leading, and encouraging the Body of Christ here at New Life week after week. You are all to be commended!

With that being said, I can not stress enough how important it is for you...the New Life Body of Christ...to tune in each week on our Facebook Live-stream. Our Sunday morning services are designed to give each of you a platform where you can worship, pray, hear special announcements about what is going on locally, and then of course have an opportunity to hear the preaching of the Word of God. We are so thankful and encouraged by the numbers of people tuning in from all over the country! I personally have family and friends from several distant states that log on each week. I am very grateful for that.  

However, sometimes I wonder how many of our own people are in the routine of making the Sunday morning Live-steam Service a priority. I realize some my watch the service later in the day, or even during the following week on our Youtube page. We are so thankful for that as well. But, I want everyone to know my heart here...Sunday Mornings are important!!  Out of the two hundred or so adherents to the church, I would love to see at least one hundred signing in each Sunday morning. For each person logging in there are probably a few people at home that will join the service as well. This includes spouses, teens, younger children, or relatives. We do see the numbers of “views” and “engagements” which Facebook provides after each service. I am praying for those numbers to increase as the weeks tick away. Remember, the services are designed to be a blessing for you..the New Life Body of Christ.

Additionally, the Tuesday Talk and Thursday Talk Live-streams at noon are going quite well. At the suggestion of a Board member we have included one or more of my grandchildren into the presentation. If I may say so, those Pips are quite engaging! TY Stacie for allowing them to minister in this special way. Wednesday Night In The Word is going well too. We are diligently working our way through the Book of Romans. This week we will be in chapter eight. Please join us!!

Contact us if you are in need of food, transportation, or counsel during this time. Also, if you are having trouble logging on to the Live-streams, please let us know. We may be able to assist in some ways. Keep checking your emails for further information from us regarding re-grouping at the church. Keep checking the church Facebook page as well for announcements.

We love you! We are praying for you!  We can’t wait to get back together at church! Until then..stay extra close to Jesus and to the Body of Christ. 

All For Jesus!

Pastor Rick and Pamela
