FROM THE BISHOP’S PEN
Dear Friend in Jesus,
As I read Scriptures that I have read over the years I am amazed at how the Spirit
of God will speak to me. It’s what happened last week as I was meditating on
the Word during my final days of vacation...
It was the turning point in a dilemma the disciples were facing because Jesus
had instructed them to feed the multitude. All seemed lost, without hope
totally overwhelming at the point of not enough until the little lad offered
his lunch. He probably didn’t look like much but his willingness to aid
the Kingdom made him a Game Changer. I heard it down in my spirit the
words “Game Changers!”
YOUR GAME CHANGING MOMENT
You may be at a point in life where you need a game changing moment; as
you become a Kingdom Game Changer, you will experience game changing
moments in your life. In the coming days it will be this Prophetic Word that
we will rally around that will affect the hungry multitudes in our generation.
Our little bit (our time, our talent and our treasure) will go a long way in the
Kingdom.
New Light is 100% stronger today than we were last year at this time because
of the faithfulness of our members. We are totally caught up and pushing to
recover all. Praise God! We are still in the tedious process of repositioning our
major capital debt and believing for the favor of God in this process. It’s time
to do more than ever before to touch the lost and hurting. Most churches
scale back over the summer months but the Holy Spirit said this is a time
of pressing for us.

E-GIVING: STEWARDSHIP
INTRODUCING
Kingdom stewardship is taught throughout the pages of the Scripture and
is most important to the plan of God for the believer. The integrity of our
ministry has stood the test of time and even in the toughest of times we have
been able to provide quality ministry. Your faithfulness in sowing your tithes
and offerings not only insures God’s choice blessings on your life, but it also
makes it possible for your church to touch others with the Gospel.
MAKING GIVING MORE CONVENIENT
As technology has evolved, financial transactions are now more convenient
to consumers and has become a priority to most businesses. From our
government to the department stores, it is plain to see that we are moving
towards a “paperless” society. New Light has always stayed on the cutting
edges so providing more convenient methods of giving using modern
technology is most appropriate. Convenience, ease and security are the
priority in making this transition. Of course you know, no one will be forced
to change and the traditional method of giving will remain in place.
There are several new methods of electronic giving we introduced in the past
that we now want to encourage members to use in their Kingdom stewardship.
There are four basic methods addressed in this brochure:
• Online Giving through Fellowship One
• Mobile Giving
• Online Giving through newlight.org
• On-site Giving Opportunities
OUR APPRECIATION GIFT TO YOU...
When you make a minimum donation of $10.00, using these new methods,
you will receive a MP3 download valued at $30.00! This is our way of showing
our appreciation to you for taking this step to help us upgrade this area of our
ministry.
Think of the impact and freedom this new stylee of giving
ng affords you. When
on vacation and watching church services on
n the
he in
internet yyou can
go online or use your smart phone to participate
pate at the offeringg
p
period. Think of how simple it will be to download
nload CD series
and purchase other resources using your mobilee device. Or if an
emergency arises and you can’t get to church, taking
aking care of your
Kingdom responsibility and activating the grace
ce of God through
obedience is easy!
PROGRESS CAUSE FOR CHANGE...
Every step of progress in life comes with deliberate
rate
purposeful effort. We are where we are today as a nation
and as a church because we made deliberate eff
fforts
orts to
accept productive change. Thank you for all you
ou do to
advance the Kingdom of God! We pray God’s blessings
on your life and your family in Jesus Name!
-Pastor Bridget Hilliard

for us to process your card. In case you miss the offering
portion of our service, offering envelopes are available at all
the information counters at any of our locations. You may
complete the envelope at your convenience and place the
offering in the late offering slot.
Late offering slots are located in the lobby of all locations.
These slots are a secure way to drop your missed offering
envelopes, registration envelopes and any cards not turned
in when the ushers collected offering. These slots are
marked with the words “late offering.” After the ushers
have retrieved the offering they have been instructed not to
receive an offering envelope; please do not attempt to get
an usher to take your offering to the late offering slot. The
ushers should not ever receive your offering envelop after
the offering is complete or without the presence of two or
more ushers.
SUNDAY
JUNE 16, 2013 • ALL LOCATIONS • ALL SERVICES
We are excited about Game Changers Sunday and our
corporate commitment to use this annual time of giving
to meet the Spiritual Encounter Budget and to also take
care of the “unfinished business” from the March Vision
Partner Giving. Our goal is only $300K and that should
be enough to do what needs be done for the Encounter,
the visions efforts and the $150K from March. We need
you rise in faith and be a Game Changer at one of several
levels to insure that we reach our goal.
