Photo Contest Official

Finally. After a tremendous amount of work, planning and effort, we now have a photo contest. We are excited to bring you the First (and hopefully annual) photo contest for New Leaf Ministries. This is exciting on several different levels. First of all, New Leaf Ministries is more than just a ministry that offers Christian Counseling. We are an organization that desires to promote healthy relationships with each other and ultimately with our God. What better way to help people understand who we are and what we do through something that is a healthy hobbie that helps us appreciate the beauty of the world God has so wonderfully created.

Secondly, New Leaf Ministries is still in a phase of exposure. Many people still have not heard of New Leaf Ministries, especially in the Jamestown area. This contest will be hosted by the Fluvanna Community Church who will display the photos for an evening show and reception, and will give us a great opportunity provide an enjoyable evening of fellowship and support of the arts.

Lastly, this contest comes at a very necessary time. New Leaf Ministries, like so many organizations right now, is facing financial struggles. The photo contest provides a means to generate much needed income without promoting potentially destructive means such as 50/50 drawings or other gambling type fundraisers.
