Adult Sunday School Series…
The Gospel of the Kingdom Through Storytelling
More than feel good stories, or interesting ways to teach truth. More than just mirrors for us to see ourselves, the parables of Jesus are stories with intent and with rich gospel meaning for those who have “ears to hear.” Jesus uses parables to get right to the point and expose the heart - the heart of God, that is!
Make plans to join us in Adult Sunday School as we sit at the feet of Jesus, the greatest storyteller ever, and learn to dig into the Bible and mine precious treasures of the Kingdom!
Join us to pray together!
Host a Concert of Prayer
In the summer months we like to take our Concerts of Prayer outside the church building! If you are willing to host a Concert of Prayer let us know. We don’t mind driving out of town - in fact, we would welcome the chance to pray in our surrounding counties. Contact Lezlie (886-1977, lezliee@newlifeefree.org) or make a note on a Connection Card and she’ll contact you.
Connection Cards
We have Connection Cards available on the backs of the chairs in the sanctuary. Guests can fill them out and take them to the Info Center for a free gift. Anyone can use them to submit prayer requests, request more information about ministries, update personal contact information, ask a question, or give feedback. Cards can be dropped into the offering boxes at the entrances to the sanctuary.

We’ll take a break for the summer and be back next fall!
What book of the Bible would you go to for the clearest explanation of how sinful people can be in the right relationship with a Holy God? Time after time I can only think of one book… Romans.
The Book of Romans, maybe more so than any other New Testament Book, shines a bright light on the transformative power of the gospel of Jesus Christ, from a man who himself was powerfully changed by Christ. We are going to start the year going chapter by chapter, verse by verse, through this amazing text given to us by God.
Also, throughout the study, we will be taking short detours to talk about some topics that all of us will face in our lifetime. Paul brings many of these topics up, as they were certainly happening in the church at Rome. Some of the topics include suffering, disagreements, knowing God’s will for your life, and pursuing holiness.
We are excited for what God will do with our time together in His Word, we pray you will join us!
Please call the church office or send an email to Pastor Billy if you have any questions - 605.886.1977 or billye@newlifeefree.org
