Political Elections: Truths to Remember, Confessions to Be Made and Prayers to Pray
A call for endurance, faith and hope amid this election season.
Adult Sunday School Class
10:00am in the Fellowship Hall
Church History, it's not about names, dates and facts. It's about the flesh and blood people of God, those who are members of our spiritual "family tree." It's a fascinating journey, telling the story of how God has preserved His church from the time the Apostles handed off the baton at the close of Acts 28 to the present.
Come with us as we travel through time and discover how, through the ups and downs, and the challenges and triumphs of life, Christ's Church has prevailed and overcome through the blood of the lamb and the word of their testimonies.
This will be a fun and informative study, one that raises our vision of God and teaches us what faithfulness to God really looks like. Join us on Sunday mornings and get introduced to some of the family members you didn't know you had!
During this season of pastoral transition, it is important for our church to assess our ministry and direction. Next Sunday, Nov. 10 will be the launch of our Ministry Insight Tool. This resource from Interim Pastor Ministries, provides an opportunity for each person in our church family to review important aspects of our ministry through an online survey (paper copies will also be available). The survey will close at midnight on Wednesday, Dec. 4.
Watch for more information next week!
Do you have extra Bibles at home?
A member of our community is collecting Bibles to send overseas. If you have used Bibles that you would like to donate, you can place them in the box near the office door.
GracePoint here in Watertown is a collection site for Operation Christmas Child this year. They could use some volunteers to help receive boxes during OCC National Collection Week. Operation Christmas Child is a division of Samaritan’s Purse. Volunteers would be available to do different tasks: greeting people, praying over boxes with their senders and packing the boxes in cartons.
Hours they are open:

Each month, we will be highlighting a missionary or organization that is supported by New Life. We encourage you to be praying for them and also learning more about how God is working through them in their area of ministry.
Youth Group | 6:30pm on Wednesdays
This year’s study: Genesis 1-11
In the beginning, God. Some of the most profound and powerful words that have ever been written. We are going to be taking a deep dive into the first 11 chapters of the Book of Genesis. We are going to encounter so many amazing truths that have an impact on us today in our world. Where did everything come from? Why are we here? Why is the world the way it is? Is there hope?
We end each youth evening with snacks for the students. It’s a fun time to hang out and get to know each other. Parents and others in our church family have been great about baking or purchasing snacks for us - if you’d like to sign up to bring the snack one evening, you can use the button below.
