View this email in your browser NEW SERMON SERIES American culture is a culture of comfort. It’s being sold to us everywhere we look. We’re encouraged to do what we want, when we want, with whomever we want. If something is uncomfortable, we want to avoid it at all costs. The Christian faith, though, is just that: uncomfortable. This four-week sermon series will help us embrace, understand, and see the beauty and hope in the challenging realities of being part of God’s people. The journey starts this Sunday, November 4th. Kansas City Hospice - Volunteer Opportunity Kansas City Hospice, NorthCare Hospice House, and Kansas City Hospice House do a special presentation to honor veterans in their care, and they are in need of presentation quilts. They need completed patriotic quilts, fleece tie-up blankets, afghans, or you may donate supplies. If you love sowing and would like to help, you can contact (816)363-2600 or email volunteer@kchospice.org.  Pulse is the name of New Springs Community's Youth Ministry. All young adults, grades 6 through 12, are welcome to join! Sunday mornings, after the first two worship songs, students are dismissed to the Boardroom. Sunday evenings, from 4:30 pm to 6:30 pm, Pulse meets for various activities and fellowship. If you or your student have any questions, contact Alex Sons for more information. As the holiday season approaches, Coldwater is currently working toward collecting 360, 10-12 pound turkeys to distribute through their Food Pantry. These turkeys will go to families who need assistance with their holiday meals. If you would like to contribute to their efforts, a $25 donation is all it requires to cover the cost of an entire holiday meal for a family.
