Worship Services - 8:30am and 11:00am
Communion will be served in both of the worship services this week.
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!
Youth Group is taking a break for the summer.
We’ll be back to regular Wednesday evening meetings in September.
Students in grades 7-12 are welcome to join us.
Each month, we highlight a missionary or organization that is supported by New Life. We encourage you to be praying for them and also learning more about how God is working through them in their area of ministry.
