Suicide Awareness Service

Did you know one suicide occurs every 17 minutes in the US? It is the third leading cause of death for young people aged 15-24 year old.  On Sunday, September 8th during our 10:00 am worship service at New Heights Community Church located in Community Room #1 at the Veterans Memorial Community Center, we’ll try to do something about this!  Michelle Kemp, our childcare provider who lost a son to suicide several years ago, will be informing us on how we can get involved in helping prevent suicide and Pastor Dan will be bringing a message about the hope we have in Jesus from Jeremiah 29 for life both now and for eternity.  Come and invite anyone you know affected by suicide.  For more information, call us at (651) 450-0811 or visit our website at: www.newheights21.org
