The summer of 2019 has come and gone here at Newcastle UMC. This season within the church is used as a time of planning and reflection before the business of the school year and Charge Conference season catches up with us. We have had many blessings over the past three months with the installation of our new digital piano in the sanctuary and our slate of family friendly events that included a Dodgers game and a drive in movie! The Lord is working within the congregation of NUMC now more than ever as we go into a time of discernment to determine what comes next for our ever growing church home.
Our presence on social media and the internet has also grown immensely this summer with the launch of our new website and the Living Hope sermon series, as well as our weekly Facebook stream of our sermons. We are growing and connecting with more people than ever before! We hope that these new technological endeavors strengthen our connection to our congregation and our community as a whole.
Our fall programming for children and youth will kick off with a bang at our Back to School Bash next week! We are excited to play many games together as well as do a school supply drive for those in need!We are also so excited to resume our Tutoring and Mentorship program in a bigger and better way this year to help even more children and youth succeed academically and give them the opportunity for connection here at NUMC. We are also excited to host the Newcastle Racers football team for two pre-game meals this fall as well as invest in our teachers by donating school supplies throughout the year.
This summer season at Newcastle UMC has been challenging, uplifting and eyeopening and we can’t wait for what God has in store for us in the fall!
