 The Session sends thanks to Bette White for the work she did as the Funeral
Coordinator for the church. She was wonderful in taking care of the details during
difficult times for the families.
 We are excited about what God is doing at New Life Presbyterian Church and to
further His calling. We are placing an ad in the Newcomer magazine and in
programs for the recital, In His Steps, to encourage others to come to New Life.
There are approximately seven (7) of our young people who participate in the
dance group.
 Session determined we will not have brunch in June or August. We will have
“Christmas in July” with turkey, dressing and all the trimmings. 
