New Life All-Church Retreat - October 14-16, 2011

"Let Us Exalt His Name, Together!" was an over the top event! We had a fantastic response and all who attended enjoyed a weekend filled with opportunities for connection and community. From the Friday night campfire and S'mores through our final lunch together on Sunday, meaningful conversations happened right along side lots of laughter.

And, how many church retreats have their own theme praise song complete with kid-supplied movements?!

Many thanks to all who helped pull together the details and activities that made this such a special time together as a church family.

If you have any photos you'd ike to add to our album, please send them to the New Life office, we'd love to share them!

New Life Family Sunday - October 2, 2011

Each year, the New Life Kids have an opportunity to take over Sunday service and teach the grownups a lesson from God's Word. This year the kids taught us all about how God created the heavens and earth and everything in them. The best part about having the kids take over is seeing how God speaks through his youngest. We learned about the oceans and land through sand, water and plants in a bucket, and we saw all the creatures of the ocean swimming up the aisles with our little Sprouts and Seedlings.

Many thanks to Miss Gina and all of the New Life Kids volunteers for helping the children prepare this valuable lesson!
