Worship Services - 8:30am and 11:00am
Nursery care for children 0-2 is available during the 11:00 service.
Children’s Church for ages 3-5 is available during the sermon portion of the 11:00 service.
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!
Join us to pray together!
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.

Kids Hope USA - Weekly Mentors Needed!
New Life has partnered with our local elementary schools since 2022 to provide a mentor for each selected student who might benefit from a positive, caring adult relationship. Do you have one hour a week (to read together, do crafts, play games, complete school assignments... and just have fun!) during the school year to make a difference in the life of a child? Please contact Francie Johnson for more information about Kids Hope mentoring...
call/text 952-426-2347, franciejohnson87@gmail.com or make a note on a Connection Card.
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!
The Young Adult Group is taking a break for the summer. We’ll be back to regular meetings in September.
Our leaders are hosting some summer events to stay connected. If you are a young adult (18-26ish) please join us, and if you know a young adult looking for community and a place to grow spiritually, encourage them to come!
Young Adult Summer Schedule
July 21, 6:30-8:30pm - Bryon and Dawn Stee home, 1611 13th Ave NE
