Thanksgiving is upon us! Our worship tomorrow, AM & PM, will focus on this season of gratitude to our God. In AM worship, we will receive new members and be encouraged in "The Greater Joy for Thanksgiving” (Psalm 4, one of our new PM Doxologies!) and in PM Worship at the Thanksgiving Feast, we will be reminded of why we are so "Thankful for Such a Wondrous Gift” (Colossians 1:21-23). I can’t wait to worship with you! Our Parking reminder from last week is broken down below this email. Remember to make space for new friends and pregnant family!
PARENTS OF NEW LIFE KIDS: Tomorrow’s Sunday School is an ALL-CHURCH FAMILY event in the Sanctuary to hear from Jeremiah & Dalkis Wood presenting their mission to Spain. I know it would be tempting to just leave, but we want our kids to hear from a second-generation New Lifer who has given his life to missions. Please stay for fellowship and bring your kids back into the Sanctuary for this opportunity!
Finally, Coffee & Fellowship tomorrow will be the lower lobby, hallways, and outside the lower lobby. The MAC is all set for the Thanksgiving Feast!
Love & blessings,

Pastor Joel
Parking
Help us in our efforts to park cars more efficiently.
1.) Avoid reading numbers 2-7 by observing the signs in the parking lot and not parking in spots that don’t apply to you! If you’re healthy, parking in the gravel lot.
2.) Take steps to reduce the number of cars your family drives to worship, ideally to one. If you absolutely must drive more than one, park the second (and third!) car across Lake Murray Blvd, in one of the dental office lots.
3.) I you are healthy, park in the gravel API parking lot at the bottom of the hill. You can enter it from the south edge of our east lot or enter and exit from Parkway Dr.
5.) The spots directly across from the Upper Lobby entrance are reserved for visitors, folks visiting with us for the first or second time.
5.) We have a variety of Handicap spots around the North end of the campus.
6.) The 4 spaces between the Youth Center Entrance and the Upper Lobby Entrance are reserved for New & Expectant Mothers. If you do not have a baby in your person or vehicle, park elsewhere.
7.) The 2 spots by the outside stairs near the tower are reserved for “Special Needs.” This may be someone who is temporarily injured and needs a spot closer to the door, has a special needs child that requires extra time or accessories to get into the building, or this may be an extra expectant mother or family with a new baby.
While the first Sunday we have a lower attendance, it will be easy to forget these instructions, let’s stay diligent to NOT let parking become a hindrance for those wishing to worship at New Life!
