At New Life we're all about supporting each other and our community!
Worship Helpers are the backbone of our Sunday Morning Ministry
Every Sunday morning it takes a minimum of 12 volunteers plus staff and musicians to put together a meaningful, welcoming worship service. Each position fills a vital spot and the best part is - it's actually fun to be part of the service and a great way to interact with other members. If you've been thinking about volunteering but were unsure about what to do - no worries! a seasoned volunteer will come along side you and help with those 'first time jitters'. We often remind folks that 'WE are the Church' and we will always do church together.
Monday, August 19, 11:30am - 1:30pm. We'll provide the entree, beverages and table service. Please bring a salad or dessert and a join us for lunch followed by an informational presentation featuring Hollie Zajicek on "What’s Coming to Norwalk?" As Norwalk’s Economic Development Director, Hollie will share information on the future of our city. She is an engaging and lively presenter. Details to follow. You’ll want to bring your friends! SAVE THE DATE! Questions? Ask Pastor Mike.
Shoe Love is a ministry of the Norwalk Area Ministerial Association focused on getting Norwalk students ready for school by giving them new tennis shoes, a package of socks and a package of underwear. Students will come with their parents to try on shoes on August 14, 15 & 16. There is a need for approximately 65 volunteers to help make this a success. Click below to volunteer
We’re having a party, an old fashioned church picnic at the Lake Colchester Gazebo on August 4th at 11 AM! Let’s take a break from our busy schedules, slow down, and enjoy an afternoon with our church family and friends. We’ll furnish the meat and beverages and table service and you all bring a side dish if you like. We’ll have some great food and conversation, the kids can swim, play volley ball and enjoy the playground equipment. Hope to see you there!
Pastor Mike has started a new 7 week Bible Study 'Life Lessons from the Book of Acts' for both men and women starting Wednesday, July 3. The men's group meets at 7 am (we'll put the coffee on) and the women's group meets at noon (bring a sack lunch if you'd like). Make plans to join us as we learn more about the early church and why it is still relevant today. Each session is a planned 1/2 hour presentation followed by discussion time as appropriate for those with workday schedules. We look forward to seeing you there.
