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!
The Youth are hosting the annual February Night Out!
The dinner will be February 22 from 6-8pm. Childcare by our youth will be provided. We want to be able to serve our church as you all have been so generous in supporting us all year long. If you would like to make a donation at the dinner, all funds will be used for the youth summer missions trip. Please RSVP by February 16. You can call the church office, stop by the Info Center, or RSVP online using the button below.
Recommended for Membership
The New Life elders are recommending Karl and Heide Kuhlman for membership. In following our church constitution, their names will be posted here for two weeks and then they will be welcomed into membership. If you are wondering how membership works, you can read what our church constitution says about it here. The Next Steps Class is required for membership and we typically hold two series of classes each year. The next series of classes will be held in March. See below…
NEXT STEPS is an opportunity to learn more about New Life Church, the Evangelical Free Church of America, and our Statement of Faith. We’ll discuss…
The background of the EFCA and New Life Church
The 10 points in our statement of faith
How to get plugged into serving at New Life
How to take the next step on the Discipleship Pathway
This class is required for membership at New Life, but is also good for anyone wanting to learn more about the church.
We invite you to come to Room 209 between the worship services (10:00-10:45) March 2-23!
Pastoral Attributes Survey
We are so thankful for all of you that have been praying with us; for our church, for the Transition Team, and for the next pastor that God is calling to New Life Church.
Currently, we are in the middle of updating our church profile and position description for the next pastor. As part of this process, we would like to gather some input regarding pastoral attributes. Please take time to pray over this questionnaire before completing it.
The easiest way to complete the short 12-question survey is online - click on the button below. Another option is to pick up a paper copy at the church office or at the Info Center and drop it off there before the deadline. We ask that everyone submit their response – either online or paper copy – by Monday, Feb 10.
Serving Opportunity - Meals for Young Adult Group
We like to start each young adult evening (Tuesdays) with a meal. It's a good time for them to come together and have some fellowship time prior to teaching and discussion. We have had a few Life Groups provide meals - other groups are welcome to serve also. Meals could be dropped off at the church kitchen during the day on Tuesdays or you/your life group can serve the meal starting at 6:30pm.
We need to have enough for 60 (young adults and leaders). If you have questions about the amount or any other questions please contact Pastor Billy - billye@newlifeefree.org
Use the button below to see what weeks are available and sign up to provide a meal.
Listening Visits
Pastor Chris and Rhonda are setting up times to meet with those in our church family for “listening visits.” In addition to helping them get to know the New Life family, these visits will help Pastor Chris as he works with the Transition Team to find the man God has for us for our next Senior Pastor. If you would like to set up a time to meet, you can call the church office (886-1977) or send an email to Lezlie.
Are you interested in serving on the New Life Missions Team?
We have a team that watches over the missions budget and communicates with the missionaries and organizations supported by New Life. The team meets once a month. If you would like to learn more contact Tony Jacobson (tjacobson0001@gmail.com or 605-651-4539).
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.
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.
