Conflict. It’s not something that I particularly enjoy, but something that seems to be all around us. Today, Pastor Rusty continued the “Jesus Said What?!” Sermon series by giving the message titled, “Go and Show Him His Fault”. We read about how Jesus wants us as a body of believers to handle conflict within the church. Pastor Rusty also talked about how important it is to handle a situation where there is animosity between two believers and not allow it to fester and continue to impact the body of believers. It is also a good strategy for how we should work through conflict in any relationship. My prayer is that we have a healthier church and healthier relationships from what we learned this weekend.

This weekend is Commitment Weekend for our One More Campaign as we look to launch a new campus in Sarasota. Pastor Rusty shared some of the details of what this campaign entails during his message this week. It is incredible to think about the kingdom impact New Day will have in the Sarasota area because of this new Campus and One More Campaign. I am looking forward to being able to have a full NextGen ministry open and available for the Sarasota families! There are so many new families and people to reach in Sarasota and so much Kingdom work to be done, but the first step involves the gifts and pledges of our current New Day Family! If you are still wanting to fill out a pledge card you can do so here!
In two weeks it is Easter weekend! We get to celebrate the risen Lord! We have a bunch of service times through the weekend at our various campuses, but the time that I am honestly most looking forward to is before the weekend services begin! We are hosting our Family Fun Event at 2PM on Saturday, March 30, at the Port Charlotte campus. We will have a bunch of inflatables, bounce houses, games, and CANDY! SO MUCH CANDY! This is an incredible opportunity for you to invite your friends and family who have kids of any age to come and have a great time, and then invite them to stick around for church at 3:30PM!
This will be my third easter here at New Day and each year it just blows me away at how willing and excited our NextGen Ministry team is to serve. We have an amazing team here at New Day across our campuses! If you have been thinking about serving, but are not sure where you would like to serve, I want to encourage you to check out our NextGen ministries. There is a ton more to the serving opportunities than you might think. From holding babies to playing games with elementary school students, to helping families check in, to preparing supplies and cutting out crafts, or leading a small group of high schoolers! There are so many ways in which you might be able to minister to kids, whether that is through working with kids directly or making sure the team members who are working with the kids have what they need!

In Christ,
Pastor Luke
