Pastor Cliff nominated newlyweds Tom & Colleen Barnes as this month’s Volunteer Spotlight for their work as Small Group Leaders .
Here’s what Cliff said about their service:
Tom and Colleen stepped into a new ministry and made it flourish! For years, NEC has wanted to reach out to our young adult population, and last year the Barnes' put their hands up. They have been faithful, encouraging, thoughtful, and steady in their leadership, and a new generation of young adults has grown to know one another and God better because of it. Thank you Tom and Colleen!! 😁
Tom began attending NEC about 15 years ago, while Colleen began 17 years ago.
They have volunteered intermittently, Colleen served as a youth leader from 2017 to 2020. They have both been on a few NEC mission trips and have been running young adults small group for about 8 months.
We really like seeing young adults connecting with one another and God and asking questions about God. We like serving God together.
