Please mark your calendar to attend this special celebration being planned for Pat's 25th Anniversary as an Episcopal Priest. The Rt. Rev. Arthur Williams, retired Bishop Suffragan of Ohio, will lead us in the celebration. In addition to hosting Bishop Williams, New Life will welcome many priests and friends in the Diocese of Ohio as we honor Pat's service on this most special anniversary. The service will begin at 11 AM and will be followed by a reception.

New Life remains focused on the needs of local school children as its main outreach ministry! Even while many New Lifers are now Reading Buddies to children at Uniontown Elementary School, the effort to provide supplies to kids in need continues! Bucket Buck Sundays are held on the second Sunday of each month! That means there will be a special collection during the service for our outreach to local children!
The Outreach Team is looking into even more ways that New Life can make a difference to the hurting world around us. All New Lifers are invited to participate in outreach ministry! Come and join the team! |
The Outreach Team is bringing back “Two Cents a Meal,” a small hunger program to further benefit FISH, our local food cupboard/emergency assistance organization. “FISH needs cash as well as food to do its work,” said Darlene Giffin, co-chair of New Life’s Outreach Team. “At times FISH will provide emergency assistance such as paying a utility bill, buying a pair of eye glasses, or providing non-food supplies. In these cases, cash is what is most helpful.”
Members of New Life will find a Two Cents a Meal envelope in their bulletin the last Sunday of each month starting in April, and will be asked to place their donation in the envelope for collection at the service. (Part of the idea is for families to put that two cents in an envelope at each meal as they say the blessing and express gratitude!) 2 Cents-a-Meal = 6 cents per day = 42 cents per week = $1.68 per month = $20.16 per year. Contact Darlene if you have any questions! |
