Laity Sunday celebrates the ministry of all Christians. It is a Sunday to recognize and celebrate the partnership between laity and clergy. It reminds us that we cannot do ministry alone, that God calls all of us to serve God’s kingdom, and that we are all in the business of making disciples. We are blessed at New World to have gifted and capable laity that faithfully serve God and God’s church. I want to encourage you to be present this Sunday, November 17th as we celebrate laity Sunday. Lay members of our congregation regularly lead in worship and will do so on Sunday. They will also bring the message at both worship services. At 9:00, Cody McAdoo will be speaking and at 11:15, Jordan Cooksy and Jessica Cooksy (my young adult children) will share about young adults and the church. You are invited to be a part of this wonderful celebration of the laity of New World.

See you Sunday!
Pastor Lucretia
