Thank you New Passion for participating in the “ONE:27 Turkey Project” over the last several weeks.
Several weeks ago 35 families worked up enough courage to walk into United We Care to seek assistance for the Holidays. The first phase of support was to request a simple Thanksgiving meal, complete with a whole Turkey and all of the fixin’s. Because of your generosity 25 of those 35 families will be receiving a complete meal in a couple of weeks for Thanksgiving.
Because of your generosity, those families will now have the opportunity to enjoy a family Thanksgiving this year!
We kicked off our new series called “There’s An App for That.” During the series we will be exploring how the Bible has an app(lication) for some of the tough issues we deal with in life. Today we kicked off with “Hope in Distress.” Below is the schedule for the remaining
5 weeks:
November 8 – Healing for Broken Relationships
November 15 – Healthy Finances
November 22 – Harmony at Home
November 29 – Guest Preacher Tim Carnes
December 6 – Honor in our Uniqueness

Several years ago I read “The Second Coming of the Church” by George Barna. It opened my eyes to a lot of things in ministry and has served as confirmation to the call God has given me about New Passion Church. I find the 17 statistics below alarming and as such should be a wake up call not only to American Christians, but to the church. These statistics range from 1994 to 1997, a good 12-15 years ago. It would be interesting to see similar results for the identical questions today.
