New Way Church

Friends,

New Way Church is coming to a formal close. This spiritual community will live on, for as long as you all love one another, worship the Lord God Jesus Christ, and serve the good that is in every neighbor, as agents of the Lord's love in the world. But the current form is now winding down.

We will have our final worship gathering at 11 a.m. this Sunday, April 3rd. It will be a Holy Supper Service. I hope to see you there if you can make it.

Then, throughout the week, Monday April 4th through Saturday April 8th, we will have an ongoing open house rummage sale at the church. We will be giving away all of the remaining clothing gathered in previous clothing drives, as well as some other odds and ends like toys from the kids room. We will also be selling furniture and electronics. If you know anyone who might need what we have, please spread the word.

Also, some of you have expressed interest in some of these things. Any church member in need with an interest in any of this is welcome to talk to me after our April 3rd worship gathering. Furniture to member families in need will be free.

Finally, as a way of expressing our love and thanks to you all, we are hosting a barbecue at my house starting at noon on Saturday, April 16th. If you would like to bring something, let us know so that we can coordinate.

I hope to see you there!

At 11 a.m. this Sunday, March 27th, 2016, we will be celebrating Easter at New Way Church. I hope to see you there!

And while I'm sending you this reminder, I also have an update on our eventual closing. Our landlord has found a new tenant to take over the space we are currently leasing. This is good news, because it will mean there will be no complications or hard feelings over our need to end our lease a year early. The new tenant is hoping to begin renovation work on our space as soon as possible.

This means that we will very soon be having our final worship gathering together. How many more is still to be determined, but our final Sunday together will likely be somewhere between the April 3rd and April 17th. A more firm date will be set by this Tuesday.

Once again, I want to say it has been a joy, an education, and a blessing serving you all these past six years. I am sad that we may only have as few as two Sundays left, but that sadness is nothing compared with the happiness you have given me in all the years that have gone before.

Austin should dig deep for Amplify Austin giving marathon As the affordability issue continue to squeeze Central Texans, more and more people are looking to local nonprofits for help with low-cost health services, tutoring for students, medical attention for pets or aiding the terminally ill.

No worship gathering this Sunday, March 6th, 2016.

This Sunday at New Way Church: We're going to postpone the final talk of our post-Easter series, so we can have a serious conversation about what's going on in the world around us. Come join the conversation at 11 a.m. We will talk about selfish love, hatred, racism, and evil. We will also talk about real love. Specifically, we will talk about how to love your enemies, and how the Six Principles of Nonviolence formulated by Martin Luther King, Jr. align with powerful spiritual principles to give you the moral power to overcome oppression without destroying your own soul.

To all our friends out there, we're "thanking the Lord He made you." Happy Thanksgiving!
