Christmas Giving
A few months ago New Lighters were issued a challenge: to celebrate Christmas more simply this year by spending less on Christmas gifts for friends and family -- and then to match that amount, dollar for dollar, with a gifts to people who really need it. With a little help from Advent Conspiracy we are encouraged to spend the season worshiping fully, spending less, giving more, and loving all. We have pledged as a community to help in the following ways:
We are collecting coats and boots for children in Parkside Neighborhood who are without. If you have signed up for some, please bring them back as soon as possible as it is getting cold.
We are also collecting donations to help develop a water system for Humble United Methodist School in Uganda. Humble is a school that provides for the educational and spiritual needs of 250 children, most of them orphans to the AIDS virus and civil wars.
We are also receiving gifts of money to provide gift cards to two local families in need who have recently adopted children from foster care.
If you would like to make donations to any of these causes, please give the money to Erica. We would like to have the money for the gift cards by the middle of December so that the families can do shopping in time for Christmas.
This video is of a cool song familiar to most New Light folks called "Share the Well." It is a catchy and meaningful tune, give it a listen and think about ways you can celebrate a more Christ centered Christmas this year!

We All Scream for Ice Cream
On Monday, August 25th @5:30pm at the Parkside Neighborhood Center (on the corner of Grant and Mellen Streets), New Light and Chestnut will merge as we meet some of our neighbors.
We will serve delicious ice cream and play fun games with the children. Bring an ice cream scoop (if you have one) and a smile! This is our first opportunity to get into the neighborhood, begin to build relationships with people, and to have a little fun!
We will have dinner following ice cream (hey, it's still summer!) at Erica's apartment
on State Street!
