Serve @ New Life

“Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering God’s grace in its various forms.” (1 Peter 4:10)

As believers, God calls us to make a contribution to the cause of Christ.  One way we do this is by using our gifts to serve others.
To find out more about serving at New Life, check out our Serving and Intro to Serving pages on our website.

Closed Doors and God's Will

On Sunday we saw how closed doors can play in part in how God guides us.  If you missed the weekend message, the points were:

1) Sometimes, getting to where God wants us to be, isn’t a straight line.

2) Just because you’re Hitting closed doors, it  doesn’t mean you’re not trying to follow God’s plan.

3) Just because you’re hitting closed doors, it  doesn’t mean you’re not trying to seek God’s will.

4) Sometimes God uses difficulties to move us in new directions.

You can hear the message online here

Note From Mike Hannah

-->
   2013 is a big year for our family. It’s my and my wife's 30th year anniversary, it’s the year I turn 50 (which actually isn’t that exciting… but anyway…) and… it’s our youngest  daughter’s 18th  birthday.  So to celebrate, we have a huge trip planned for the summer.  

   I’ll be speaking from now, through June 2nd. Then, beginning June 9th, I’ll be gone for the last four Sunday’s in June. I want to let you know so you won’t think I’ve been kidnapped or hit by a bus.

   I’ll miss all of you, but we have something good planned at New Life for those four weekends. I’ve asked a series of guest speakers to come and share a favorite story on the life of Christ.  So from June 9th – June 30th we’ll take a break from the book of Acts, and look at the life of Jesus. We’re calling the series “The Son.”  Then when I return on the first week of July, we’ll pick up right where we left off, and continue our series through the book of Acts.

See you soon! 

Mike

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.

Give on the Go


Giving to God is an act of worship for the follower of Christ. Now you can give to God from wherever you are.   
 
Give from any mobile phone that has online access. You can find the mobile version of our giving website by scanning the QR code (below) or by going online to:www.newlifecommunitychurch.net/giving, and clicking “Give Now”.

Communion in Life Groups

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.
