Newsletters - New Horizons Community Church (Jackson, MI)

I hope you're looking forward to this Sunday! We'll be having LIVE music in-house and on-line! We are welcoming back those you know and a new face you may have seen around here for a bit. Her name is Jamie. She'll be playing guitar and singing alongside those you've known and loved for some time.

We're still waiting on the Lord to direct us to a Worship Ministry Director. Until then, Morgan Tousley and Mollie Bolton will continue to put together our music for worship.

We're starting a new emphasis, "B.L.E.S.S." The 5 week series will focus on, "How to B.L.E.S.S. Our Community!" I'll be asking each and everyone of us to commit to pursuing 5 simple steps toward blessing our community, friends, neighbors, and co-workers. This is how you live out the Great Commission of Jesus to all his disciples and build the Kingdom of God!

As a part of this emphasis, after each Sunday service, we'll be hosting small groups throughout the facility around tables for about 30 min.'s. We will change our format a bit to accomodate the group time.

For those who would take the challenge to discuss the message and seek to truly walk & live out the concept of B.L.E.S.S.- ing others, this will be a great value. If you didn't RSVP after the service last Sunday, we'll still have a spot for you! Each table will have a host who will guide the time towards the goal of that day.

Also, you can notify us that you want to be a part of an "online" TABLE GROUP, through ZOOM. To be included in the online table, send an email to us at: newhorizons.chog@gmail.com. Type the phrase, "ZOOM TABLE GROUP," and we'll send you a link to join in.

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 conscientious 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.
