Cancer Support
The Cancer Support Group will hold our regular monthly meeting on Wednesday October 2nd at 6:30 in Room 9. The Cancer Support Group is open to all patients, survivors, and caregivers.

Photos Needed for our Database!
We would like to have as many photos of our members and regular attenders in the church database as Pastor Casey prepares to join us. Being able to match a photo with a name will help him get to know us, and we need your help!
If you use our app (we hope you do!!) it is easy to upload your photo in the Profile & Settings: Profile & Settings > Contact & profile information > Update Photo
If you don't use the app, just email the photo to katherine@newlifeforall.church and we will take it from there. If you are not able to email a photo, you can bring it by the office and we can scan it. We may schedule a Sunday to take photos of members in November or December, but we would like to receive them before that time if possible.
We do have some photos, but there are many more that we do not have.
Thank you in advance for your help!
