Listening to what the Word of God says is important, but life transformation won’t happen unless you personally apply its teachings. Strive to obey Scripture and the Lord’s leading every time. When you do, He takes responsibility for the results, and you will find Him trustworthy.

A Look Back in Time | 2012 at New Song Church

I went through my photo albums to make a quick look back at 2012 for us here at New Song Church. Here's what I came up with, I hope you enjoy. ~ Shannon 

In 2012: 

• we started renovations on our new sanctuary space, 
• a fantastic Courageous Valentine's Dinner, 
• the kids got all dressed up for Easter Sunday,
• we had great times with our mentors; Loys de Fleuriot, Kevin Kennelly, Chris Wienand & Tim Shuttlesworth,
• a few BBQ's at the church and downtown as an outreach,
• we didn't flinch during the Father's Day Flood & we had to set up in another room,
• summer began with a great co-Baptism / BBQ Service with New Life Church,
• a team returned to Romania for most of the summer,
• we watched as storms rolled around us during our Carnival & Concert day,
• took the youth to The Pinery to camp for the long weekend,
• took the church to Hidden Acres to camp for another weekend,
• then a bunch of guys headed into the wilderness for a week of canoeing,
• the fall kicked off with a return to Granger, IN for the RE-innovate Conference,
• a month later a few of the ladies headed to the Muskokas to experience a ladies retreat at Ontario Pioneer Camp,
• the year wrapped up with the GLO Girls Club starting up,
• and our annual Christmas church banquet (which I don't have pics for). 

 

Hello 2013! Time to get off and running... no turning back!

In Philippians 3:7-14 Paul pictured the Christian life as a race; he faced many obstacles in his life but he never quit, he never gave in or gave up. We each need this same kind of spirit if we hope to finish 2013 well.

Courage - Confidence - Commitment - Constancy - Carrying Onward 

The key to success here is an all-consuming desire to reach the goal. Find value in the prize, don't give up and definitely don't settle for the immediate gratification this world has to offer.

Let’s GO! God is beaconing us onward, get off and running, and no turning back!

Happy New Year New Song Family

The Little Church That Could!

"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed people can change the world. Indeed. It is the only thing that ever has." --Margaret Mead From the sale of 485 Charles Street in the summer of 2010 to the purchase of 24 McIntyre Place at the end of Februay 2011, it has all been a God-led miracle. Once again, as Dave - our Pastor - shared Sunday in church, New Song became known as "the little church that could!" 24 McIntyre Place has a total of 17,000 sq ft and is located in the Huron Business Park and is zoned business {B2 with provision for institutional}. The church occupies almost 9,000 sq ft with the remaining 8,000 sq ft divided into 4 units. For the first time since owning the building, as of July 1st, all units are fully leased. Our mortgage is now covered in full! This frees up money for more missions & community outreach events & other things we want to do at and through New Song Church! What we've accomplished to date... Raised almost $300,000 just to purchase the building Spent more than $100,000 on drawings and infrastructure renovations which include metal work {new beam}, the new HVAC system, demolition, plumbing, and concrete Spent $3,000 on sound equipment We "temporarily" set up church in the hallway adjacent to where we would eventually have church. One and half years later, we are still in the hall but the end is near!!! "Hillbilly Sunday" with a hodgepodge of mismatched seating was OK at first but thankfully we were able to raise $6,000 for the brand new chairs we're now sitting on! True to God's ability to provide for New Song Church in the past, as a part of our heritage of Faith, God has provided many things we need, in His timing. If you're not familiar with what God has done before... read our Testimony from our last building! God has sent many people across our path to help us get this place finished! From figuring out the layout of the sanctuary, finding contractors, electricians and to get a great deal here and there, God has been faithful and creative. The whole process has been time consuming, labour intensive and not cheap! So what is left to do... "Before" Drywall ~ $3,000 Electrical ~ $4,000 Power Doors ~ $2,500 Security Lighting ~ $1,500 Doors and Walls ~ $1.000 Stage ~ $2,000 Insulation ~ $2,000 Kitchen / New Bathroom ~ $4,000 Floor Finishing ~ Donated Total Needed to Get into Sanctuary: $20,000 WE ARE ALMOST THERE!!! What we are planning for the future... "Sample" Children’s Church and Nursery Relocation Exisiting Bathroom Renovations Outdoor Patio Live Web Casting Moving into the new Sanctuary Space this Summer Potential Name Change {new website, promo material & new signage} Grand Opening ~ Thanksgiving Weekend Thanks for your patience during this lengthy process because without having a big bucket of money to draw from, we have had to do each project as the funds were made available. Consider it a sheer gift, friends, when tests and challenges come at you from all sides. You know that under pressure, your faith-life is forced into the open and shows its true colors. So don't try to get out of anything prematurely. Let it do its work so you become mature and well-developed, not deficient in any way. James 1:2-4 This has been a great lesson in endurance and steadfastness and patience for sure! With God... Everything Is Possible!
