A Renewed Community!
Men's Conference
Men, call Pastor Doug to let him know you are coming to the Conference.
A Note from Pastor Jerry!
Are you hungry to see the Holy Spirit do something fresh in your life? Have you figured out that you need to be RENEWED? We need to experience having:
A RENEWED SPIRIT - that is initiated via the action of repentance,
A RENEWED PURPOSE - that is found in the one who created you,
A RENEWED LOVE - for Jesus leading to loving others among us,
A RENEWED COMMUNITY -that builds & strengthens relationships!
Looking at the 2021 calendar for the next few months, I just had a crazy reality check... This time last year, I was planning my preaching calendar, focusing in on "clarity," and beginning to prep for Resurrection Sunday, April 12th. It hit me, we've not been at full community strength for over 10 months!
We aren't the only ones. There are churches which haven't had any in-person gathering for the same period of time while we have been having in-person worship since June, 2020. It hasn't been what it used to be, but maybe God, using this season, is getting us prepared for where he wants us to be. ?? I believe that our public gatherings are important, especially for greater spiritual & mental health. We need worship, but in the context of community. We need strengthen via the experience of community. Your faith walk is designed to be in connection with the people of God, together, on the mission of God.
This Sunday, we'll again share the Bread and Cup. Those who are in-person will be joined by those on-line to share in the community experience of taking Communion, together. It is one part of being the church that connects us. We will be focusing on RENEWED COMMUNITY for the message. As we gain ground on this pandemic, we are looking forward to seeing more face-to-face encounters. We want to strengthen those who have become isolated, weakened spiritually, and feeling like life has halted. We are excited about what God is doing, and will be doing in the coming months of 2021.
Make plans to come and be apart of the New Horizons Community!
On Sunday, February 14th, I'll be sharing what our leadership has decided to put forward as New Horizons' 2021 Agenda for mission & ministry and how you can be engaged in it.
On Sunday, Feb. 21st, we'll start a 5 week series that will focus on, "How to B.L.E.S.S. Our Community!"
IT'S TIME TO GET ON WITH IT! IT MIGHT LOOK DIFFERENT FROM PAST DAYS, BUT WE SHALL MOVE FORWARD TO EXPAND THE KINGDOM OF GOD, HOWEVER & WHEREVER WE CAN!
Are you with me?
Pastor Jerry

OPEN FOR WORSHIP IN-PERSON & ONLINE!
We want to assure you that we are remaining open for in-person worship, taking precautions and making sure the facility continues to be sanitized after our Sunday worship. We want to remind all who would attend of these important guidelines:
1. Attend ONLY if you are NOT experiencing signs of illness -
(i.e. - fever, persistent/active cough, unusual tiredness or fatigue, shortness of breath, muscle aches, chills, sore throat, runny nose, headache)
2. If you've been directly exposed to someone within the last 48 hrs who has tested Covid positive, have had a recent loss of taste, or just not sure you should be around others, please follow the CDC's guidelines for self-quarantining. You may not have it, but we'd rather you miss a Sunday than to cause someone else to become ill.
3. Minimize your risk by using hand sanitizer, being contentious of the space you give others and yourself, wear a mask, limit touching your eyes and nose, or simply stay at home. You can watch the Sunday message on FB Live by going to New Horizons Community Church's Facebook page.
We want to be sure to remind our church family to be diligent in their self & other's protection. We want to encourage folks to spread out in our large worship area and know that you won't be crowded. If it is too uncomfortable or the risk is too high for you to be around others for worship who may not be wearing a face covering, we understand. We love you and want to see you stay healthy so we can see you again at New Horizons when this crazy season of life is done.
