Community Worship Gathering -- June 13th

New Light Community Worship Sunday, June 13th @ Hope.Gate.Way. Coffee and Snacks at 5:30 pm -- Worship at 6:00pm

During community worship this month we will celebrate Pentecost, a day often called "the Birthday of the church." You'll notice lots of red in our worship space, reminding us of the fire and passion of Pentecost.

If you can bring a red food to share...strawberries, watermelon, red velvet cake, apples, tomatoes, chips and salsa, or whatever else you can think of.

As always feel free to bring a friend, neighbor, co-worker, or relative along with you, for this exciting celebration.



Note: Ordinarily the New Light community worships on at Hope.Gate.Way. on the Second Sunday of each month. This will change for the summer, when we will be worshiping as a community on July 18th, and August 15th. We plan to resume our regular schedule in September, but mark your calendars for summer worship now!
