Suicide Awareness Sunday

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 we’ll try to do something about this!  Michelle Kemp our licensed childcare provider who lost a son a few years ago to suicide will be informing us on how we can get involved in helping prevent suicide.  Then Pastor Dan will be bringing a message about the hope we have in Jesus from Jeremiah 29 for life both now and for eternity.  This is an opportunity to invite anyone you know who has been affected by suicide.  Go to our website at www.newheights21.org for more information.
