All are welcome. The people of New Life are your neighbors and friends and we come in all flavors. We have in common our hopes and dreams for lives that matter, for hope and joy, for comfort and healing, all of which we have found in the good news God has given us in Jesus and his generous grace. Our worship begins 10:15 a.m. The service is printed in a bulletin AND projected on the screen so it is easy to follow.
Our Christian Education starts at 9:00 am. We have classes for all ages.
Children are always welcome at every service. We have a special "New Life Kids" time during worship before the sermon.
Holy Communion is celebrated every Sunday. We believe Jesus is with us as we partake. He invites us to know peace, forgiveness, joy, hope and new life as we rejoice in the meal. Smaller children are welcome to come forward to receive a blessing.
You are invited to join us in communion and to take full part in our worship with us.

sabbath …
“The apostles gathered around Jesus, and told him all that they had done and taught. He said to them, ‘Come away to a tranquil place all by yourselves and rest a while.’ For many were coming and going, and they had no leisure even to eat.” - Mark 6:30-32
After the masterwork of creation, the Bible says, God rested. Jesus gathers his followers – overflowing with stories of the places they had been and the work they had done – and calls them to a place apart, to rest. God declares sabbath time holy; a time to set aside the cares and
tasks and busy-ness of life and to rest … to simply be present with God and one another, to be restored, refreshed, revitalized. A balanced life includes sabbath time … time for fun, relaxation, recreation and rest. May this summer season afford more opportunities for sabbath amidst the press and complexity of life!
