Invite Someone to Church
A big part of reaching out to our community is inviting our neighbors to come join us at our weekend worship experiences. Here is one way to do that:
Large Mailers – Two times a year we send out a bulk mailing of about 12,000 flyers into the community inviting our neighbors to visit New Life on Sundays. This is a great way to let people know we are here in the community or just to remind them in case they’ve been thinking about visiting a church. Usually this is accomplished through members joining together to financially support a large blanket mailer to the surrounding neighborhoods. Currently the cost is approximately $3,500. You can contribute towards these mailings by indicating “outreach mailers” with your offering.

Cutting Edge of Technology
At New Life we're on the cutting edge of 1990 technology! We just heard about something called the internet and learned that more and more people are handling their finances online.

Invite Someone to Church
A big part of reaching out to our community is inviting our neighbors to come join us at our weekend worship experiences. Here is one way to do that:
- Friends inviting friends – The most effective way to invite someone is when people personally invite a friend, co-worker, neighbor, family member or just someone they know. And what’s great is that when the person comes to New Life, they already know someone. Each week we encourage people to invite someone back. To help them do this, we have invite cards and flyers available as a useful tool for inviting.
For more ways to invite people to church, click here.
Matthew 28:18 Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."

Local Outreach
Can You Pray?
As a church, we are in a time of seeing good things happen for the kingdom of God, and at the same time we’re experiencing challenges. We are seeing new guests come on Sundays, people making commitments to Christ, new people serving in ministry, and people taking steps to grow as followers of Christ. But, we are also experiencing financial struggles each month. Not only do we need God to provide for our expenses, but also we’d like to see more people being invited, commitments to Christ, baptisms, and spiritual growth in our church. In the Bible Jesus tells us:
"So I say to you: Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened. – Luke 11:9-10
Click on the link below to see a list of prayers you can lift up on behalf of our church. We need God’s help. Please join us as we seek His power, presence, and guidance in our church. Thank You!

Leader's Meeting Tonight
Sunday, July 13, 2008
Note from Mike Hannah
Hey Church Family,
I’m looking to be back with you this Sunday! It’s been two Sunday’s since I’ve seen you! Seems longer and I miss everyone.
I’ve been off the last two weeks recovering from my surgery. I had my staples removed on Tuesday (no fun) and the doctors said I can slowly get back to my regular routine. So I look forward to seeing you this weekend.
Please pray for a full and complete recovery and that God will work through me as I get back in the swing of things.
See you this Sunday!
P.S. We're starting a new series in the book of 1st John

Note from Mike Hannah
Hey New Life Family,
On Sunday, I jokingly talked about listening to your wife. On Monday when I woke up in pain, my wife keep trying to get me to go the doctor or the hospital. LIke a typical guy, I decided to rough it out. Even though I throw up over dozen times. After a while the pain became unbearable and the paramedics came and hauled me off. It turns out I should have listened to my wife and gone earlier.
I was brought into emergency, and not too long after was rushed into surgery, where they removed my appendix. The surgery was successful, and I'm thankful for the quick response of the medical personal and paramedics. I am now at home (Thursday) and am really sore, but slowly recovering.
I appreciate everyone who have asked if they can do anything. Right now, the main thing I need is prayer. So please pray and I look forward to seeing you soon.
