battle. That battle might be

when the pressures of life come crashing in. Maybe it’s a battle to stop a bad habit, or a struggle to
maintain your integrity in a difficult work situation.
If you’re someone who’s
trying to fight the good fight, come and hear what the Bible says about life’s
battles. Join us this Sunday, December 2nd, as a new series begins– “Fight Club”.

Mexico Outreach

Special Announcement from the November 18th Service
The following is a summary of an important announcement
made during yesterday’s weekend service:
The situation: Our church is facing a difficult situation. Due to our giving
levels, we are continuing to fall short of paying our most basic bills by
approximately $1000 a week. Many of you know the giving has been low, but we
need to share the severity of the situation. At the point we’re at, unless
things change, the most likely outcome is that we will not be able to continue
meeting in this building. At the present rate, this could happen as soon as ten
months from now.
What we have already done: Up to this point, we have…
·
Contacted
our landlord to reduce the rent
·
Cut out
all but the most basic ministry expenses
·
Cut the
number of church staff
·
Asked
all remaining staff to take cuts
·
Covered
shortfalls out of a rapidly dwindling reserve fund.
In light of this, we are still facing a
shortfall of $1000 a week.
What needs to happen. In order to stay in this building, we need to see the giving
increase by $1000 a week. This sounds like a big number, but when you
consider that we have over 100 adults who attend New Life, this amount, when
averaged out, represents a shortfall of less than $10 a week per person. It is
shortfall we can overcome. We know that many of you have your own financial
struggles, but by sharing this need, we hope that together we can make a
difference.
What you can do: As a member you can do two things…
·
Play a
part through regular giving – The solution is to the see the regular giving our church go
up. If you are not yet giving, now is the time to get started. If you are
giving, maybe God will use this need to increase your generosity.
·
Pray for God’s
provision for our church - We
believe that God has something better for our church. Lives are being changed
at New Life, and we want that to continue. Let’s pray for a solution to this
situation.
In conclusion: If you
have any questions, please let us know at finance@newlifecommunitychurch.net.
Also, you can follow our progress by reading the monthly giving reports that we
post on the blog – www.newlifeblog.net.

Using the Small Group Questions as Study Tool
Each week, we provide an
outline during the weekend service. On one side, we provide the Bible passage
to look at during the service. On the other side, there are discussion
questions that connect to that same weekly passage. These questions are
designed to interact and apply the passage.
These questions are used
by our Life Groups that meet throughout the week. But these same questions can be used
as a personal study tool. If you are not yet part of a group, you can use these
questions during your personal Bible study time. They can provide an
opportunity to dig deeper and reinforce the passage from the previous weekend’s
service. Also, if you miss a service, both the message and the questions can be
downloaded online.
