This Week at New Day - July 9, 2025
A NOTE FROM EXECUTIVE PASTOR OF DEVELOPMENT NEAL GOSSETT
Happy July! You know what that means…sure, you may have guessed the 4th of July, picnics, fireworks, and family gatherings. However, around New Day, we are all things BACK TO SCHOOL BASH! This is a free event to kick off the start of school. In three weeks, on August 5, we will host our annual Back To School Bash! We are once again excited to partner with local elementary schools and our New Day families to send our kids back to school with much needed supplies.
If you would like to help, we are taking monetary donations to offset the cost of these supplies. Click here to give. Additionally, we need people to serve on the night of the event at each campus. If you would like to help, click here to sign up.
New Staff Announcement:
Recently, Jamie Hazeltine transitioned to leading our Student Ministry at Port Charlotte. With this change, continued growth, and the addition of new campuses, we recognized the need to fill a vital role in our Children’s Ministry.
Many of you know Adam Lile as a key volunteer who has faithfully served in our Children’s Ministry for the past four years. We’re excited to share that God has blessed our church by allowing us to hire Adam as the full-time Children’s Ministry Lead at our Port Charlotte Campus. Adam is married to his wife, Kelly, and they have two boys, Josiah (10) and Judah (6).
Please join us in welcoming Adam into this new role when you see him around!
Family Update!
I was excited to see two of my three kids and my son-in-law this past week as they came for a visit. We had a fun week planned for old sunny Florida. Well, old sunny Florida wasn’t so sunny, so we had to make a lot of changes to our schedule. Overall, it was fun despite the weather. I got to watch five Chicago Cubs games with my son Brady, which we love to do, and they only lost one game! My wife and I enjoyed spending time with the family and got to hang out with our daughter, Renee, her husband, Kyle, and their new dog, Joey, too.
Additionally, I had the opportunity to spend time with some great friends, Brian and Cindy Wright, who were here on vacation. Brian is actually the guy who most influenced me to go into ministry, and I am forever grateful for his impact on my life.
