one who donated time and materials to thisproject. The stage will be carpeted andstair and railings built on April 21st during

the M&M Project.

New chandeliers and track lighting werealso added. An American flag with a standwas donated for our stage, and a new

Christian flag is on its way.

Our first Sunday together in the new sanc-tuary felt like a whole different place. Thesound system wasnt put back up yet and

we praised the Lord accapella out of thesong books. We made a joyful noise and

the spirit moved.

We are so thankful to the Lord for theways that He provided the materials andthe workers with the skill to get this projectdone and done well. A big thank you toanybody who donated time, supplies, mon-ey, or physical labor to provide us with this

new sanctuary!

Where you see the two white pillars thereused to be a wall. On the other side of thatwall were three rooms. One was an office,one a makeshift nursery and one for storage.We tore down the walls and took out the

drop ceiling. A crew of guys from WilliamsLake Church of the Nazarene, as well as aguy from Case Construction owned by MikeCase who attends West Flint Nazarene, andseveral guys who attend New life, trans-formed this area. Insulation and dry wall wasdonated from employees at Menards. Some

youth from Clarkston United Methodist churchbuilt the stage. A whole lot of work and acoat of new paint later and it looks like anentirely different church. Thank you to every-

Transitions and Gods Provision

We had been praying forGod to provide our needsand this month He has an-swered those prayers in two

big ways.

The first was whenKayla Ann Cox came for-ward to volunteer to be thenew teacher for our Club10:27 class. We are excitedto see where God will leadher and this class in the com-

ing months.

The second was agroup of people who con-

tacted us with the desire tofeed us on the second andfourth Sundays of the monthstarting on Easter Sunday.What a huge blessing this isfor those who attend NewLife, especially the childrenwho often come to church

hungry and ready to eat.

We give all thepraise to our Lord JesusChrist who is the provider ofall our needs and who justkeeps spoiling us over andover in many ways. Thanks

be to God.

You may be wondering;What exactly is the

M&M project? Does it in-

volve Chocolate melting inour mouth and not in our

hands?

Not quite, here is whatthe M&M project is all

about.

(The following are ex-cerpts from a letter andpromotional poster sentout to the churches by theEMD NMI council.)

We are so excit-

ed about a new endeavorwe are calling the M&MProject, Michigan & Mis-

sions!

We are so proud of whatEMD does for missions

around the world throughWEF Offerings & FaithPromise. Our district is

very involved in missions &every year we get re-quests for local missionefforts. What are we

doing here in Michigan?

M&M is a way for our

district laypeople to getinvolved in local missionwork. We have teamedNMI and NYI to promote& sponsor missions here onour own district. It is kindof a Work & Witness pro-

ject without all the ex-pense and travel.

This is a joint venture be-

tween Eastern Michigan

District NMI and NYI

such generosity and giving.

I was told by thewife of Williams Lake Naz.s

Pastor that the man whomade that call to the hard-ware store was also deeplymoved by witnessing this

miracle.

Sometimes Godmoves in what some mayconsider a small way, but it

is awesome just the same.

Sometimes miracleshappen in big things, likecancer healed, but sometimesit happens in little things, like

drywall and insulation.

It all started with acouple who comes to NewLife from Williams LakeChurch of the Nazarene andhelps us with ministry. Theymentioned to their SundaySchool class our buildingproject in the sanctuary. Agroup of men from WilliamsLake decided to come andhelp us with the project. Oneof those men contacted a

local hardware store aboutthe project and the personhe spoke with about it of-fered to pay for a piece ofdrywall. Word got aroundthe store and other employ-ees on the floor began tooffer to buy supplies for us.The store also gave us asignificant discount for thedrywall and insulation thatwe bought. Before it was allover an $1,800 project cost

us only $800 dollars.

It is amazing towatch God move on thehearts of people, and to
