NEWSTART Juice celebrated its one year anniversary on 20 November 2020. Colourful balloons, face painting and free juice and smoothie samples helped celebrate the milestone.  The business sells a wide variety of delicious fresh fruit and vegetable juices and smoothies. A new watermelon drink was launched for the anniversary as well as a customer loyalty card.

The business is one arm of the Raymond Terrace Mission (RTM) Seventh-day Adventist Church located on the main street of Raymond Terrace at 45 William Street. NEWSTART Juice was opened with the purpose to serve the community by encouraging individuals to adopt a healthier lifestyle. NEWSTART is an acronym which stands for Nutrition, Exercise, Water, Sunshine, Temperance, Air, Rest and Trust. 

NEWSTART Juice is run by volunteers who have a passion to not only provide for the community physically, but also spiritually. God has granted the volunteers with opportunities to build relationships with customers and talk about spiritual topics. By God’s grace a couple was baptised at the beginning of this year after having Bible studies with two volunteers. That relationship developed as a result of walking past NEWSTART Juice one day. 

NEWSTART Juice as well as the adjacent RTM Op Shop, also operated by the church, aims to reach people where they are. Both businesses are open Mondays to Fridays from 9am - 4pm (3pm on Fridays).

It is RTM’s mission to be “A safe place to find your way, discover truth and renew your life.” In order to fulfill that mission it needs people who are passionate about increasing the Kingdom of God. Perhaps you, or someone you know, have a few free hours a week to volunteer. Or perhaps you want to dedicate the next couple of months to serving God. If so RTM would love to partner with you in serving its community.
