Norristown Congregation Celebrates New Ministries

Nueva Vida Norristown New Life Mennonite Church is answering God’s call by “Enlarging Our Place in God’s World.”

Under its “Acts 2 Ministry,” the congregation is developing a discipleship and housing ministry for single women; is a site for the Benefit Bank; serves as a host of ASSETS Montco, a small business training program; is strengthening its global mission connections; and developing “Kingdom entrepreneurship” to support future ministries. Plans for “Enlarging Our Place in God’s World” also include renovations of five properties owned by the congregation. The three-year capital campaign is earmarked for $670,000, with a long-term goal of $2 million.

Services will be held Sunday, May 18 at 10:45 a.m. and 2 p.m., and the Acts 2 Ministry and the recently acquired New Life Plaza will be dedicated during the second service. Both services will be held outdoors, at 25 East Marshall Street in Norristown.

The church, which will celebrate its 18th anniversary in July, began when three Norristown congregations, First Mennonite, Bethel Mennonite and Fuente de Salvación, decided to merge. It is pastored by Marta Castillo, Angel Tamayo and Ertell Whigham, Jr.

All are invited to worship; for more information call 610-279-5433
