News Briefs From The Life Of Neighborhood Church: (Fall 2011)

New Ministry Roles:
As of September 1, Ryan Wildauer and Dan Eckley exchanged many of their key ministry roles. Although Dan will remain an elder and will still preach periodically, Dan is now our High School Youth Pastor. Ryan now oversees our home groups and our children’s ministry. Ryan will also now have more opportunities to preach and teach Adult Sunday School.

Summer Outreach:
This summer God allowed us to send 12 adults to Asia on a “Break the Silence Journey” and 24 people to New London (south of Fresno) to run VBS in an impoverished area. Fifty people also served with our own VBS program right here. Nearly 30 people helped at our booth at the Shasta Fair. Many more sought to reach out in many other ways. Please pray with us that God would save many in our community.

AWANA:
This fall Bryan Parke is joining Dave Wagner as co-commander of our AWANA program. Shawn Bainbridge is stepping down from AWANA leadership to help our church focus more on local outreach. Please keep our AWANA program in your prayers. Nearly half the kids who come are not from our church, and this is a great way to reach them with the Gospel!
