Holy and Merciful God, we

Create in us new and loving

hearts, that all we say and do

Offertory Prayer

O Lord, our God, we expect so much from You, and we are not

disappointed. May we respond in our stewardship, as You have taught us

how to give, and then be a blessing to others. Bless our tithes, sacrificial

gifts and mission offerings that we give today. May both the gift and giver

be used for Your glory. Multiply what we bring in ways that declare Your

glory! We desire to live faithfully and bear much fruit. Amen.

“Therefore, my beloved, be steadfast, immovable, always excelling in the

work of the Lord, because you know that in the Lord your labor is not in

vain.” 1 Corinthians 15:58

FROM THE DESK OF REV. CARNEL RICHARDSON

Beloved Women of God,

God has given you a marvelous gift. He has given you

the gift of life. Each woman’s life has significant

value and worth. Our awesome creator has affirmed

time and time again that you were made in His image

and that you “mean the world” to Him. Therefore, as

New Prospect celebrates the worth of women during

the month of September you must rejoice, worship, give

thanks, expect, and embrace your worth and the worth

of your sisters in Christ.

In the Name of Jesus,

Rev. Carnel H.L. Richardson

Lead Pastoral Minister

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, and THANK YOU!!!

Dear New Prospect Church Family:

Words cannot adequately express the gratitude that resides in our hearts for

your loving encouragement and support of the New Prospect Youth Ministry’s

endeavors. Our spiritual pilgrimage to the Youth For Christ Weekend in White

Cloud, Michigan was amazing, refreshing, inspiring, and fulfilling. The

millennial generation would sum up the experience by saying, “It was

EVERYTHING.” Your contributions allow us to continually experience the

spiritual and social growth that our Lord wants us to experience. So, we thank

you again and again from the bottom of our hearts. Please keep praying for us

as the Lord continues to strengthen us and use us for His glory!
