New Life Land After the Ice Storm

Looks like the trees on New Life land are in pretty good shape, but need some heavy pruning to be able to walk under again. Please stay tuned for a date to help out.

Adult Bible Study After Worship Continues this Sunday

What is the relationship between religion and government? In these polarized times it is controversial, and in Biblical times it was no different. What does the Bible teach us about living as Christians amid the turmoil of politics?

Join us for adult Bible study after worship for a series of discussions inspired by the recent book, “Render unto Ceasar,” by John Dominic Crossan.

Hey New Life Family! Catherine D’Abate here.

So about the weather:
Weather permitting, we worship outdoors year-round under the oaks.
 
For the winter months, whenever the weather is cold or rainy, see directions below to Ranch Park, across 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, drive around and 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 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!
