Brunch, Bible, Baby at Bramhall - May 24, 2009

Over 60 of the New Life congregation and friends gathered at Bramhall Park last Sunday to celebrate the holiday with praises, time in the Word, a brunch, and a baby shower for Cing Nu.

The fellowship was wonderful, and it is always a good event when you end with Dick's Bakery Burnt Almond Cake!

Brunch, Bible and Baby at Bramhall Park - May 24, 2009

On Sunday, May 24 the New Life congregation will have its first Summer Sunday in the Park of 2009! This will be our third year of celebrating the Summer holiday weekends by having a casual time of song, time in the Word and good food at Bramhall Park rather than meeting at Willow Glen Middle School. A map is attached below so you can find us!

This Sunday, we are adding to the fun by having a small baby shower as well! Paul and Cing Nu, recent refugees from Burma and regular arttendees of New Life, are expecting their first baby next week! All are invited to share some cake and wish the new parents well as they prepare for their daughter's arrival. If you'd like to bring a gift, that would be wonderful, but is not necessary. Diapers are always a great choice!

Springs Retreat - April 14-16, 2009

Eight women from New Life Covenant Church attended the Springs Retreat sponsored by the Network of Evangelical Women in Ministry (NEWIM) at St. Anthony's retreat Center in Three Rivers, California. This retreat, held in the spring and fall of each year, is an opportunity for women to get away from their day to day responsibilities and spend time alone with God and in prayer and reflection.

While the focus is on spending alone-time with God, there was also ample time to deepen friendships and meet women from all over California. Our ladies had a wonderful time! To learn more about the retreat, visit http://www.thespringsretreat.blogspot.com/
