NPC Outreach

Get excited for Outreach in 2025! Wrapping up 2024 with all the incredible donations from our Giving Tree reminds me of how much our congregation impacts our community with their faith in action! Christmas in Coweta through Bridging the Gap gave 2,285 children (NPC supported 8 of those children) a very merry Christmas this year!! Thank you to our youth leaders and youth for shopping and for Lindsay Edge for labeling all the gifts!! Our Giving Tree this year will round out the year to each of our local non profits with over $500 each in donations either with cash, gift cards or physical donations. Each of our non profit partners have sent thank you to say what an incredible blessing NPC is their organization! Thank you everyone for all that do to help make our community stronger and better! In 2023, I encouraged each of you to join us with your Faith in Action. We maintained that Faith in Action into 2024 while also building our Faith in Partnerships--and now as we enter 2025, I am invi...

So much to be thankful for as we wrap up our year here at Outreach. With the generosity of our amazing congregation, BTG will be blessed with $2,135 in monetary donations! We really appreciate Jamar Joiner, BTG director, speaking to our congregation and emphasizing the tremendous impact our congregation has on our community through the partnership with Bridging the Gap. We are thrilled to partner with BTG's program, Christmas in Coweta, and our youth program to provide Christmas for 8 children this holiday season. The youth did an amazing job of shopping for all the gifts--there are going to be some very happy children on Christmas day! During the month of December, please see our Giving Tree in the Narthex where you can pull an ornament to support a particular group or you can use the QR code to give or drop a check or cash in the donation box at the base of the tree. With incredible thanks and gratitude for all you do Newnan Presbyterian Church!! "And whatever you do, whethe...

A time for fall foliage, pumpkins, costumes, and cooler weather--AND, Blessing of the Animals! We were thrilled to join with the Episcopal church this year at Line Creek Brewery for a festive and fun blessing for the many animals. Newnan Coweta Humane Society was thrilled with the numerous donations made to Pokey's Place. We also celebrated CORRAL in October and it showed in the tremendous monetary donations made to help support the work they do with their riding therapy program. If you want to continue supporting these organizations during the year, please contact the organizations directly for how you can get more involved! Stay tuned for an exciting November as we support Bridging the Gap--to provide Thanksgiving meals to those in need and the annual Christmas in Coweta program. Last Outreach Workshop of the year will be Sunday, Nov 17th immediately following the service. This is our annual cookie swap --so come by and enjoy some goodies!

  "Helene made landfall in Florida late evening on September 26th as a very dangerous category 4 hurricane. The impact of Helene has been felt across multiple states. With the storm surge, wind damage, and flooding, it is crucial to have the necessary resources to support the many communities that are affected. Helene caused devastating damage in Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, and Tennessee.  Your generous gifts will bring hope and encouragement. PDA is in communication with affected presbyteries and National VOAD (Voluntary Organizations Active In Disaster) to share information and coordinate resources as damage is assessed. PDA has deployed a National Response Team to Tampa Bay Presbytery, Presbytery of Western North Carolina and Northeast Georgia Presbytery. We have approved several initial assistance grant requests and are anticipating additional requests from affected presbyteries to help respond to needs in their communities." - From Presbyterian Disa...

SEPTEMBER UPDATE 2 Corinthians 5:7 " For we walk by faith,  and not by sight." Serving One Roof and Angels House We have just wrapped up an amazing month in August highlighting our Global Missions!! We packed over 14,000 meals for families globally through Rise Against Hunger; learned more about future missions with Pura Vida in Guatemala; and celebrated over 30 years working with our sister church In Merida Mexico.  Your involvement and excitement during these events displays the missionary heart of our congregation not only locally but globally.   September is here. School is back in session and the holiday season is nearly upon us!  What a wonderful time to support two of our organizations that help families and children.   One Roof, like Bridging the Gap, is desperately in need of food for those in need so we are looking for monetary donations to help them with this purchasing power to make that possible.   Angel's House, a safe have...

  A Heartfelt Thank You to Our Amazing Volunteers This past Sunday on August 11, 2024, 115 volunteers gathered together in Barrow Hall for a meal packing event for Rise Against Hunger.  Volunteers came together with a shared mission: to combat hunger and provide hope to communities in need. This event was a resounding success, thanks to the dedication and hard work of our incredible volunteers. We packed 14,256 meals!!! In the past 9 years, Newnan Presbyterian Church has packed 130,655 meals and they have provided food to places like Haiti, Sierra Leone, Philippines and Zambia.  Incredible job everyone!!! Faith truly in Action. Their efforts, along with those of many other volunteers, highlight the profound impact that a community can have when united by a common cause. These meals, often referred to as "Memorial Meals," not only provide essential nutrition but also carry the love and dedication of those who packed them. For the communities receiving these meals, they rep...

August: Global Missions Month   Matthew 21:22 "Whatever you ask in prayer, you will receive, if you have faith."  Our local missions are thriving and we are thrilled to have fed over 500 children the week of July 22nd in cooperation with Bridging the Gap and their Summer Lunch Program.  At the end of the week, Backpack Buddies and Aid Atlanta provided additional support to the children with supplies for the upcoming school year!
