October is Pastor Appreciation Month
*Ask them what you could do to assist them with their ministry
*Invite others to hear them preach
*Support them with your participation and financial resources
*Pray daily for your pastors
*Invite them to a meal with your family
Just a brief note, email or phone call of gratitude for pastors can give them a lift and positive encouragement
for their 24-7 job doing whatever they can to make life better for you.
New Horizon is a mission minded church. During the year we have many outreach giving opportunities local,
national and international. We ask you to prayerfully consider which projects you are comfortable in supporting,
knowing that you may not wish to support all of them. We thank you for all that you do to help others .
Encounter ∙ Experience ∙ Extend
A small shoebox can teach a child about the love of God. What goes in is simple, what comes out is eternal.

the bin in the lobby. Our Tweens will be packing the shoeboxes Sunday, November 2 nd.
