Our Adult Sunday School class is going through a 4-week study on “The Bible and Roman Catholicism.”
Join us for a special event on Sunday, January 12 as we build a Journey Wall together - creating a visual display of God’s handiwork and faithfulness over the years, which has made New Life Church what it is today and sets our course for the future. Whether you have been on this journey with us for several weeks or years, you have witnessed God working uniquely through the mountain top experiences and even through the valleys. The Journey Wall Event is for everyone and we look forward to sharing this special time together with you. Refreshments will be provided. Childcare is available for kids 6th grade and under. Brian Wright, EFCA Northern Plains District Superintendent will be our special guest.
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.
Year-End Giving
2024 donations must be postmarked in 2024, given online in 2024, or received at the church by December 31, 2024. Any donations after that will be recorded in 2025.
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.
Some prayer requests from Paul and Janet:
Thank you for praying for us!
We are thankful for several inquiries that churches are making about the possibility of starting Awana in their churches. Please pray they will make the move as they seek to be effective in discipling children.
Please pray for the end of year work that needs to be completed.
Pray also for a time of rest over the holidays.
Youth Group | 6:30pm on Wednesdays
Youth Group will not meet on December 25 or January 1.
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.
