This Week at New Day - April 9, 2025
A NOTE FROM NEXT STEPS PASTOR SAM PEPPER
I absolutely love living in Florida – it’s one of the world’s top vacation destinations! During Spring Break, my family embarked on our first shark tooth-hunting adventure in Peace River. What an incredible experience! While we didn’t find any Megalodon teeth, we did uncover nearly a hundred smaller shark teeth. The river and the trees lining the shore were so beautiful, offering a perfect glimpse of Old Florida. Truly, God’s handiwork is everywhere! Later that week, we gathered with family at a resort in Orlando for a few days of swimming, soaking up the sun, and playing games late into the evening. It was the perfect mix of adventure and relaxation.
I’m incredibly grateful for the memories I’ve been able to create with my family. One of the greatest gifts a parent can give their children is a joyful, secure, and fulfilling childhood. I often pray that, as they grow, my kids will look back on these years and cherish the beautiful memories we’ve made together.
Easter is just around the corner, and I hope you’re not only planning to worship with us but also extending an invitation to others to join in the celebration! If you haven’t made your plans yet, go HERE for service times and locations!
If you need a place to use your gifts to serve Jesus and others, I’d love to help you do that! If you have the gift of hospitality, in particular, and enjoy meeting new folks and making connections, please let me know!
