Sunday School classes are taking a break for the summer.
We will have coffee and cookies available in the foyer between the two worship services. It’s a great time to catch up with a friend or meet someone new!

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.

Praying for Pastor Billy
Pastor Billy is taking a sabbatical for 8 weeks this summer, June 28 through August 23, 2026. He will be using his time away to pursue God, to grow deeper spiritually, and to seek God’s will and vision for the ministry years ahead as he continues to serve the New Life Body in the future. Please join us in committing to pray for Pastor Billy and his family during their time away!
