1.  Children's Ministry Summit

 

WE’RE B-A-A-A-CK!   The NEDA Children’s Ministry Summit “Handprints on Lives” has been rescheduled for Saturday,  March 6,  2010 from 9AM – 3PM at Wethersfield E. Free Church.  The summit is designed for anyone working with children – Sunday School teachers, SS Superintendents, club workers, etc.  The theme is:  What kind of handprint does the home, school, friends or church leave on children?  Dr. Skip Lewis from Lancaster Bible College will be the keynote speaker.  Registration materials have been sent to all churches. Please note that online registration is available at the Wethersfield EFC website.  For questions please call Cindy Nicewonger, Director of Children’s Ministries at WEFC - 860-563-8286 or email:  child.min@wethefc.com

 

2.  Thank you from Mark & Tina Overmyer

 

I’d like to express gratitude on behalf of Tina and our family for NEDA’s continued generosity toward us.  We have been blessed this past year to see our girls establish themselves in their undergraduate studies and to find that despite the empty nest, we still like being together as a couple.  It was a memory-making year for us, highlighted by a month-long sabbatical spent in Europe writing and eating too much.  Additionally, I furthered significant kingdom partnerships on many fronts including New England and Asia; the latter as a result of two trips to Myanmar last year.  The former resulting in a growing cadre of ministry partners who believe that it’s realistic to see a new congregation emerge in their context in the next 3 years by God’s grace if we concentrate on ministering along a “centerline” that includes Engage Culture, Facilitate Community, Mobilize for Multiplication, and Structure Congregations.  Our principled center approach to training, coaching and assessing is clearing the confusion over the formerly complex task of church planting and is seeing more and more laborers entering the harvest.  My joy in participating in this process is something for which I owe our Lord and you a debt of thanks.
 

3. Camp Spofford Newsletter
