New Church Starts

Monday, May 1, 2006

We presently have a strong interest in reaching people for our Lord through the establishment of New Testament churches. My purpose in writing this is to let you know what is going on and being planned with the prayer that God will lead you to become a part of this exciting work!

New Beginnings - Goddard

After establishing a solid Bible study in the Goddard area, John Barnett is making plans for a series of public interest meetings and some preview services. A preview service is designed to show the public what church will be like at New Beginnings and to provide them with information designed to recruit members prior to the official start of the church. To support this effort John needs volunteers in the following areas:

  • Worship team leaders
  • Workers for small children
  • Workers to help set-up and help welcome visitors Contact: John Barnett, 794-2488
