2011 Ministry Fair

Thanks for joining us at
the Ministry Fair.



You found information about volunteering for the
Harvey County Homeless Shelter?

And you are using your spiritual giftings at Health Ministries
helping file charts?

You were surprised at the recent addition of Women's ministry
and you'll invite your neighbor, to come to the next Tea Party too?

And you felt God's presence through the new ministry skit, huh?



Yeah, me too! I was so taken back by the inter-generational effort!

You even joined a small group?



Wow, I guess you found a few places to get connected
to your family of God here, at Newton Christian.
We are so thankful you took the time to check out
our Ministry Fair.



Now, go into the world and use those giftings
every day in every way!
As my gifts are not for me,
but for thee.

Ministry Fair

Yes, a new year means saying goodbye to some things old,
and offering hospitality to some things new.

Along with the expected also comes the unexpected.
God is always there,
as He has gone before us and lights the pathway
as it is our turn to walk down it.

One of the old things we said gooddbye to was the baptismal window...
original to the 27 year old building it had a faux stained-glass
covering put over it a few years back.

Remember this?



Just a window, not a living member of our family we said goodbye to,
but still a piece of us.
The original window had weathered to the point of no return
and so had the frame around it.
Out went the window and in came a wall.

And for the NEW you ask?
Well, studying our individual spiritual gifts and HOW to use them
brings us to the new!
Sunday, Feb 20 will be the Ministry Fair
and you can find new and local opportunities to put YOUR unique gift to work to further Christ's Kingdom here on earth.

Haven't figured out which Spiritual Gifts God gave you when you became His child?
Fill out the online assessment before the fair and BE READY
for the good work He will do in YOU!
