(2 Cor. 5:17)
Sunday afternoon meeting 4/3
New City Friends invite you to join us for worship on the afternoon of 4/3/2011, at 3:00pm. We’ll be gathering again at the home of a Friend in Detroit’s Corktown neighborhood; email us at newcityfriends@gmail.com for directions.
Do not worry
“Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?
“And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you—you of little faith? So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the pagans [Gentiles] run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.”
Sunday afternoon worship on 2/27/11
We’d like to invite you to a called meeting of the New City Friends (Quakers) worship group to be held the last Sunday afternoon of February. We’ll have some time for discussion and music followed by a time of open (silent) worship. There will be light refreshments and plenty of opportunity for fellowship.
Date and time: 2/27/2011 at 3:00pm
Location: A Friend’s home in Detroit’s Corktown neighborhood; please email newcityfriends@gmail.com for directions.
We’d love to have you join us, and feel free to email any questions you have as well.
