Good morning everyone

 

We trust you are all well and managing to stay safe at home away from the corona virus.

 

We will have all had a strange week I’m sure - adapting to self-isolation, staying at home, keeping up with the news whilst trying to keep well. 

Self-isolation has become a new term in our vocabulary but not one we like here at New Life Community Church Milnrow.  We need to be connected to everyone as a church, but as we cannot physically meet at the moment, many of us have been talking and discussing how we can do things differently.  We need to stay connected and prevent people from feeling isolated so we’ve been busy behind the scenes working with different formats and platforms to do church differently during this period.

 

Staying in Touch

​

Here are some of the methods in which we are already working with :-

 

Life Groups – will still be carrying on but will meet but in a different way ( probably via Zoom)

​

What’s App Groups – many of you will be a member of a Church What’sApp group so please use those to chat to people as well.

​

Zoom Meetings – ‘’ is a new online platform ( well new to many of us) where we can meet online and see each other on our screens all at the same time.

​

Community Deliveries – we know we have vulnerable people within our church and community so we want to be able to serve them. We want to be able to do your shopping and run errands.  However, in order to do this we need volunteers.  If this is something you w to get involved in please contact Ian Lowe on 07864 060488 or email

​

YouTube – we will also be making use of YouTube.  In fact our service today comes via YouTube

 

But we want to do more!  There are ways in which you can get involved as well.  We don’t just want to leave it to a weekly email we’d like to be sharing content through the week too.  We’d like to hear what you are doing at home, what fun stuff you’ve been up to, sharing videos and jokes any prayer requests you have too.

 

Notices

​

We were due to have ‘Heart for the House’ giving service soon but we have decided to postpone that for the time being.  However, if you would still want to give you still can.  Please contact us on regarding this.

 

Bible Verse

​

“Discover creative ways to encourage others and to motivate them toward acts of compassion, doing beautiful works as expression of love.  This is not the time to pull away and neglect meeting together, as some have formed the habit of doing because we need each other!  In fact we should come together more frequently eager to encourage and urge each other onward we anticipate that day dawning.”Hebrews 10 v 24&25

 

So as you can see we are already being creative for the Lord by using the latest technologies - What’s App - Zoom – Youtube. 

 

Enjoy the preach.

 

Stay connected - not isolated and send us your ideas.
