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.
