BUSINESS MEETING 2021

We would like to extend a warm invitation to our church members, to attend the upcoming Business Meeting, scheduled for 06.03.2021 at 5:00pm via Zoom.  If you are a member of Newbold Church and would like to attend, please, request the Zoom details via email.  The document containing the Departmental Reports is found HERE and the financial updates will be made available HERE.

Church Beyond Walls: Given our total commitment to the wellbeing of our community, all church services and gatherings are suspended for the time being.  We are developing new ways to be, and to grow, as a church ‘beyond walls’. Live streaming of the Sabbath morning service will continue and resources for Sabbath School and Small Groups are shared above.  A number of online giving options are available from the ‘Giving’ button above.

If you would like to volunteer and enable our church community to support each other where needed, please fill in this brief survey.

ADRA – Adventist Development and Relief Agency

As you are well aware, due to the pandemic situation, we are not contemplating a return to normal here in the UK any time soon. Our work supporting the community hubs here in the UK continues and our overseas projects are tracking slowly along the planned course, though, they all have been impacted by COVID-19.

ADRA is blessed with a church community here in the UK, who for so many years has been phenomenal in supporting our work.  Our planned 2021 Ingathering/Appeal period is set to start on the 27th of March. We have however had to make the decision not to organise door-to-door fundraising in 2021 and we know that face-to-face fundraising in churches is also now unrealistic. 

We are in a precarious situation and seek to increase donations via our website, by post or setting up a Direct Debit to support our work.  Your prime resource for anything ADRA Appeal related is available on our website at www.adra.org.uk/agent which we will be continually updating over the coming weeks.  We cannot do ADRA’s work by ourselves. We need your help. We need the help of all our members.  It is only when we put all our efforts TOGETHER that we can help and change people’s lives.

‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’  Matthew 25:40

Together we can feed people. Together we can clothe people. Together we can educate people. Together we can quench thirst. Together we can save the neediest people of the world.  Let’s do this together! Because only together, we can.
