Latino Heritage Month!
Each year, at New City East Lake, we take time to celebrate Latino Heritage or National Hispanic Heritage Month by honoring the histories, cultures and contributions of those whose ancestors are from Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean, and Central and South America. For us, this is much more than just a celebration of culture. We desire to use our worship services, events, and activities during Latino Heritage Month to give glory to God for the beauty of his people, for the unity that Christ brings to us and to learn from the stories of the Lord’s faithfulness in lives of our Latino brothers and sisters.
Cross Installation
This month, our cross installation celebrates Latino Heritage Month by honoring the rich cultures in our church and community, and by reflecting God’s beautiful vision for His people.
Made with colorful textiles from different Latino traditions—shared by our congregation and a local tienda—the installation shows the beauty, diversity, and unity of God’s family: many cultures woven together in worship and faith.
Prayers for healing
We invite you to join us for a time of prayers for healing during our upcoming service. The Bible reassures us of the power of prayer and the promise of healing through faith. In James 5:14-15, we are reminded: "Is anyone among you sick? Let them call the elders of the church to pray over them and anoint them with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise them up."
Let us come together with hearts full of hope, trusting in God's steadfast love and healing touch for all in need—whether it be spiritual, physical, emotional, or relational healing.
Instructions:
During this moment of prayer, you will be invited to pray out loud and simultaneously, just as you have been doing in the past few weeks.
Those desiring to be prayed for are encouraged to come to the front of the church. All who are waiting for healing are encouraged to come forward with expectancy and hope.
Pastor Danny and Pastor Gustavo will be standing by the main aisle to anoint you with oil, symbolizing the Holy Spirit's presence and power.
Our elders and congregational care team will be standing right behind them to pray with you individually, offering support and encouragement.
We will close this time of prayer by singing "The Lord's Prayer" together, uniting our voices in an expression of faith and community.
Let us join together, lifting each other up in prayer and trusting in God's promises.
