What’s Happening This Week In New Life!

Quote of the Week:
“God’s affirmation gives me courage and creates in me an intense desire to please Him. It inspires me to risk, to not be afraid, not to hold back anything. This is exactly what Satan doesn’t want – deeply loved, secure disciples fearlessly marching into his realm and taking people from him. ” Bill Hull

Connections: Same Time (7:30 PM) in same place – the Garden Room in the Spiritual Center. This week we will take a look at 4 Ways To Experience God.

Two:forty:two groups
These are our small group opportunities. Taken from Acts 2:42 where it says “They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching, to fellowship, and to the breaking of bread and prayer.” The intent is that these groups are more than Bible studies, but are communities who do life together. If you are not already involved in one, here are some opportunities for you…
