A Note From Our Pastor:
Greetings to Each and All of You Who Served at this Year’s Fest!
I just wanted to send a quick note of appreciation and thanks to YOU, personally, for your self-giving service in cooperation with God Father, Son and and Spirit’s Self-giving, to encourage and baptize his brothers and sisters in Jesus, in his loving, relational, nature and Good News!
Though yet tired and in recovery like you, I, too, am filled with his shared joy and empowered at how he transformed hearts, minds and lives in Ocean City and that we all got to participate in some way or another! Wow!!!
So, whether or not you participated with God the Trinity in planning and administration of all types, including reservations and registrations, the preparation of resources, gifts, brochures, technology/audio&video, preaching and teaching,music, dancing, set-up and take down,safety&security, connect&caring for his people, serving the youth, passing communion and offering baskets and envelopes, giving and counting money, or helping to maintain a proper temperature in the building…
I THANK YOU IN THE PRECIOUS AND BELOVED NAME OF GOD, FATHER, SON AND SPIRIT, IN WHOSE NAME AND LOVE YOU SERVED, AND IN WHOM, HOPEFULLY, YOU EXPERIENCED THE JOY THAT GOES ALONG WITH HIS OTHER-CENTERED WAY OF BEING!
May he give us many more such times to come together as his disciples in Worship, Oneness and Witness as we await the Glorious reappearing of our Lord Jesus, and particularly at another Father Loves and Likes You Fest in Ocean City 2017! I think that would be cool!
Sincerely and In Christ,
Timothy Brassell

” This past weekend, I had the privilege of being part of the Father Loves and Like You Festival. What a beautiful conference it was. This conference had great messages that confirmed for us that God (Father, Son and Holy Spirit) is amazing love and relationship, and we get to participate in it. We had great fellowship, great singing, a great dance, etc. We stayed at the Holiday Inn on the Ocean front, in Ocean City MD. It was well put together and many great relationships were formed. I would like to thank New Life fellowship for hosting such a beautiful conference.” – Pastor Calvin Simon: New Creation Community Church in Virginia Beach
