ministries at New Horizon. If you have not taken the opportunity to submit your pledge for next year please do so as
soon as possible. You will receive a follow up envelope with a pledge card in the next few days or you can ask an
usher for one during the service.
“You will be enriched in every way to be generous in every way, which through us will produce thanksgiving to
God.” (2 Corinthians 9:11)

Please take a moment to look at our blessing boards in the hallway and lobby. We have much to give thanks for!
Be sure to post your own blessings and lift them up in thanksgiving.
