In Acts chapter 1, as Jesus is preparing to return back to heaven, he gives his disciples one last instruction:
“But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you. And you will be my witnesses, telling people about me everywhere–in Jerusalem, throughout Judea, in Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” (Acts 1:8)
As Christians, Jesus commands us to be witnesses to his kingdom both at home and throughout the world. We are called, through the power of the Holy Spirit, to help bring God’s kingdom on earth.
At Newland United Methodist Church, we love serving people in our community and in the world around us.
Look at what we have been up to lately:
Partnership with Northside Elementary School
Our efforts are blooming again this year. We gathered at Northside to clean up and make beautiful the front courtyard.
We collected and donated school supplies for the beginning of the year.
We will continue to offer opportunities to support all at Northside E.S. throughout the year. If you would like to assist in this incredible ministry please contact Cindy Sharber or Pastor Dawne.
Thank you for your caring, compassionate donations. We are collecting for the following:
Pasquotank & Gates Co. food banks: Non-perishable food items are welcome. There are 2 blue containers, 1 is in the history room by the main church entrance & the other is in the hallway across from the kitchen.
Meals on Wheels: Currently in need of volunteers. Please call Audrey Holland 252-426-7093 ext 230.
