Thank you so much for the donation you made to Anew Day in September. The work we do and the services we offer either free or at a greatly reduced cost would not be possible without our generous donors. Your gift to Anew Day is a beautiful expression of love for your community.
I want to tell you a little bit about the amazing work God has done here at Anew Day this past month. First of all, we welcomed several new staff members, which is always exciting. We hired an amazing servant named Jenny Woodall to manage our office and fill our vacant administration position. She is a fantastic addition to our team and our family. We also added two new professional counselors to our ranks, Lauren Pretlove and Botho Gaenangaka, who are also great additions. This means we now have 29 trained counselors serving community members at Anew Day - 23 trained volunteers and 6 professional therapists.
In September we started our fall Counseling Skills Workshop and have 12 people taking advantage of this valuable training. We’re also starting a 55+ Support Group that will begin later this month. So, if you know of anyone that could use some peer support with life’s challenges for older adults, please pass on the information. The group will meet Wednesdays from 4-5pm, at the Anew Day office, starting October 26th. This group will be co-ed and free, no sign-up required. Lastly, registration for the MEB2 Turkey Trot has begun. Anew Day is a main beneficiary of this event so participating is another great way to support our ministry. You can register at www.meb2turkeytrot.com.
It is such a pleasure to see the Lord strengthening and growing the ministry of Anew Day. Thank you for being part of our support team.
With appreciation for your support,
Tricia Johnson
Executive Director
