Congregational Meeting, Sunday, Nov. 13

At 10:15 right after service. We'll vote to approve the 2023 ministry budget, plus elect next year's members of the New Life leadership team. No Sunday school this day.

Where will we worship when it's cold? How can I know?

See directions below under About the Weather, but our alternative place of gathering is right across the street from our New Life land.

There will be a sign posted at the New Life entrance to redirect you if that's where we'll meet. No guessing. So just come!

So about the weather:
Weather permitting, we worship outdoors year-round under the oaks.
 
But for the coming winter months when the weather is cold or rainy, see directions to Ranch Park, acoss the road from New Life. And what to expect:

Ranch Park is directly across the street from New Life. But before you get to New Life, turn right on Event Center Drive. Then when you turn into the parking lot, park on the backside of the building, across from the playground (see photo 1).  Enter in the door next to the air handler (see photo 2).

There will be a large temporary sign prominently placed on our usual entrance sign to New Life to let everyone know when we are at Ranch Park due to the weather. 

So no guessing. Just come to service as usual and follow the directions accordingly.


The "small room" at Ranch Park (photo 3) is actually about 8 times bigger than our tent. It will be heated, but please dress comfortably in layers in case of fluctuations in the room temperature. There are bathrooms, and there is an entrance ramp for folks with mobility concerns.

It takes a lot of volunteer work to move us from our outdoor Under the Oaks sanctuary to Ranch Park and back. Please consider volunteering to load the vans and SUVs of the team after worship. And if you can't do that, please pray for us!
