Welcome I would like to remind you of our logo.

Please notice the rising sun above a beach with a palm tree. The sun reflects into the stream which flows into New Day Unity Fellowship.

You will also note a butterfly.

Some believe butterflies do not have a long life span, but they believe in error. The butterfly goes through much to become the creature of beauty that it is. It can remain dormant in its pupal/larvae stage even in so much time to survive winters to become a butterfly Adult butterflies can live up to nearly a year.

Humans on average take 266 days to produce a newborn child. Patience wins as eager parents await the birth of their children.

The birthing process also has its drama. Not always so easy and sometimes long and painful, the birth process doesn't always happen as expected.

If we are waiting on a hamster, we will see its young in 16.5 days, a ground squirrel in 28 days or a chipmunk in 31.


But what if you are an elephant do you stomp your feet in impatience? Does an elephant give up because butterflies evolve, children are born? An elephant still waits and those chipmunks and hamsters keep adding up under their feet.

Elephants must wait and average of 645 days for the birth of their young.

Now you are probably wondering what all this talk of birth and transformation is all about.

Time. Patience. Faith. Do we have these three things? Are we willing to give these three things in the birth process of our Fellowship? And your pursuits, you may substitute any other word for Fellowship.

I don’t know about you, but New Day Unity Fellowship is an idea that is bigger than a butterfly, it is bigger than any one of us, I believe it is even bigger than any elephant and if it takes 645 days to bring forth an elephant then I have patience and I have faith and God willing the time to wait upon this miracle we call New Day Unity Fellowship.
Blessings,
