Let me begin by thanking Chellee Bailey and Wendy Self and all the adults, youth and children who made our Christmas program a huge success!  Despite snow, sleet, stomach viruses and basketball games, the children did an excellent job of reminding us of the real meaning of Christmas! 

Don't forget to get your reservations in for the youth fundraiser dinner!

Be sure and invite your friends, family and neighbors to join us on Christmas Eve for our Candlelight Communion Service. The choir will lead us in singing the songs of the season as we hear the story of the birth of Jesus as told by the gospel writers.

On Sunday morning, we continue our celebration of the twelve days of Christmas as we hear from the prophet Isaiah and ponder the gracious deeds of the Lord.

Finally, as you know beginning Jan. 10th, Mike Robinson will be your new pastor. You may want to contact him and welcome him to New Life.  I know the emails I received from you prior to coming to New Life mean so much to me!  You can contact him at:

Join us this Wednesday as we explore the book of Genesis reflecting on the meaning of creation, sin and sacrifice.  We'll reflect on the wonderful adventures of Abraham, Jacob and Joseph.  And we'll learn what it means to be God's people who are blessed to be a blessing.  Bring your Bible and a willingness to learn and join us in our journey.
 NEW LIFE SHEPHERD MINISTRY
We need each of  you to be praying to find out if God is leading you into the New Life Shepherd Ministry. This ministry will be making calls, visiting and sending cards to members of our church family. Each member of the ministry team will receive a list, of approximately 8 to 10 families, to be responsible for keeping in touch with. If God leads you, please join us for blessings you won't believe!
