News from Janet...
Never a dull moment here at New Day Church, and wanted to let you know a few newsworthy items! Last week Jim and the "Staffing Team" finalized job descriptions and started advertising for 5 part-time positions for New Day! The 2 most important will be Childcare Coordinator and Director of Worship & Music. The other 3 are Directors of Children, Youth and Adult Spiritual Growth. These are all very part time right now, and we're thinking that some may be combined depending on applicant's skills/needs.
We are taking a true LEAP of faith in hiring - and those we hire will understand that they will be entering into a "risky business"! They will be an integral part of expanding the New Day family and actively fundraising for parts of their salaries as well as their more normal duties. Jim has contacted about 45 UMC pastors requesting a special offering, or some other financial support, and the indications are that donations from these churches will come close to covering staffing salaries for the remainder of the year. So we take the leap, knowing we 
have planted seeds and worked the plan, and believing that God will do the rest! It will be just so interesting to see who will step forward for this ministry! Please pray for this process; people, funds, timing, etc.
New Day Church now has a BEAUTIFUL sign on our door! Thank you, Jim Baller, for this
wonderful gift! Also, Jim's office is now finally complete and functional thanks to some awesome gifts from Delano UMC. We are so grateful! Things will be much more efficient with everything in one place. Working between home and church was creating much chaos!
The next Preview Worship will be this Sunday, June 14th, 10:45. We're anticipating another smallish crowd - if you would pray for God's spirit to be present in the preparation this week and during the service on Sunday, we would appreciate it! Guests are always welcome!
The launch team is very active now - working on staffing, hospitality plan, advertising and some special projects like marching in the Spud Fest parade, neighborhood picnics, farmer's market , etc. It's exciting to see their enthusiasm and ownership in some of these projects. And the Bible Basics class has been very well-received. Fun to see the excitement around learning about the Bible!
That's it for now! Hope all is well with all of you. Keep in touch - we love hearing your news as well!
