Communion in your Life Group

Christ calls us to take communion “In remembrance” of Him (Luke 22:19). We serve communion from time to time in our weekend services and large group settings, but the primary place communion happens is in our life groups. Communion takes place in the groups monthly, usually on the fourth week of the month. So if you’re not plugged in to a life group, get involved. You can find out more about groups by checking out the life group webpage.

Give Online

Do you bank online? An increasing number of our members are giving their offering using their banks bill pay system. You can set up your giving just like any other account you pay using your bank's online bill pay.

On Mission

Our purpose as a church is to...


“Reach people for Christ and get them grounded, growing and on mission.”

Someone who is on mission for Christ…



Makes a commitment to the body of Christ
:

Scripture says that we’re all members of one body - the body of Christ (1 Corinthians 12). Someone who is "On Mission" for Christ recognizes the importance of the body of Christ and makes a commitment to play their part as members of Christ’s church.



Makes a contribution to the cause of Christ:

The Bible says that Christ’s ministry is done as each person plays their part (Ephesians 4:16). Someone who is "On Mission" for Christ eagerly seeks to make a contribution to the cause of Christ (1 Peter 4:10).



Pursues their unique role in the mission of Christ:

God has given us each a unique life purpose in the mission of Christ. Each person is created on purpose and for a purpose. As Ephesians 2:10 says, “We are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.” Someone who is "On Mission" wants to discover and do those “good works” which God has prepared in advance. An “On Mission” follower of Jesus desires to understand and increasingly prioritize their life around their God-given role in the cause of Christ.

To find out more about "On Mission," check out the "On Mission" section of our website.

To find out more about serving, check out the Serving section of our website.

April Giving Update 2012

How did we do in the month of April?

We were $781.40 short of our monthly budget.

How much does it “cost” to run the church?

In a 5-Sunday month it takes a minimum of $35,852. It allows us to pay the bills and fund a minimal amount to our ministries.


How much was the actual giving for the month?

The giving for this month was $35,070.60.

Here is a quick snapshot of this year: 
 

Is there anything else I need to know?

If you’re someone who regularly gives to God at New Life: Thanks! Your giving makes a difference.

If you’re someone who is not yet giving: Make a decision to get involved. Take the first step toward the biblical practice of giving. You can find out more about giving here.

And for everyone: Please take time this week to pray for the finances of both our church family, and the individual families that make up New Life.

Are you Reading your Bible?

 
Are you reading through the book of 1 John? You are if you're doing our Bible Reading Challenge. We're encouraging members to read a chapter of the Bible each day, and right now we're in the book of 1 John. Join us as we observe God, love, and life through our reading.

May Leader's Rally

Join us for our May leader’s rally. The meeting is on Monday, May 14th at 7:00 PM. Pizza will be served starting at 6:45 pm. We look forward to seeing all of our leaders there. If you have any questions, please contact your staff leader.

Counseling Resources

We desire to spiritually support our members through the different challenges of life. Our primary vehicle for spiritual support are small groups. Small groups are a place where members can share needs, pray for each and receive spiritual support and encouragement.

While we hope that many needs can be meet in small groups, we realize that often times a member may need a trained counselor or a specialized support group to provide the needed help.

While our church does not have “in house” counseling, or support groups, we can point you to two local organizations that can help. These local resources can supplement the spiritual support our church provides. One of the organizations focuses on counseling, the other offers support groups. To learn more, check out our Counseling Resource Page.
