Giving Thanks

New City Church had a great time last weekend wrapping up the end of our "Friending" series with a an encouraging word from Pastor Dean about the blessing of being in a strong community! We can't wait to celebrate Thanksgiving together with our New City family this weekend with food and fellowship on Community Sunday!

At the heart of the Thanksgiving tradition is something very fundamental to the Christian faith: thankfulness. The Word of God says to "enter into His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise." An attitude of thankfulness to the Lord for what He has done is what gets us into His presence. It is truly rewarding to stop and take time to consider what the Lord has done for us and give thanks with a grateful heart. No matter what trials we have faced this year and regardless of our own shortcomings-- God has been good and gracious to us all. We are a grateful congregation and JESUS is at the center of it all.

"All this is for your benefit, so that the grace that is reaching more and more people may cause thanksgiving to overflow to the glory of God.  Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day."
--2 Corinthians 4:15-16

At New City Church we are grateful for YOU. We pray that the Lord blesses you this Holiday Season with an outpouring of His abundant blessing on your life and a grateful heart!
