Heading to Texas for Training!

The Northwest Baptist Convention and the Interstate Baptist Association (both of which we are part of) are sending Adult Ministry Leaders from around the Northwest to Rockwall, Texas this weekend for training from Pastor Carter Shotwell of Lake Pointe Church.

You may remember Pastor Shotwell from the time he spent at our church helping us to learn about the Life Group model.  In fact, you can see video clips of the training on the right hand side of this blog or check them out on YouTube.  :)

It should be a great time of learning about how we can best continue the process of implementing Life Groups here at New Life!  Please pray for us (Pastor Albert, Pastor Keith, Dee and myself) as we travel.

40 Days of New Life

Well Pastor Albert and Pastor Keith laid down the gauntlet last Sunday.  Will we as Teachers and Coordinators take up the challenge and encourage our students to do the same?

I am eager to see what God will do with a body of believers fully committed to Him.  I am personally praying that God would increase my love for His Word and my love for His people.  Combining the two I want to see my students grow in their love for His Word.  I'm sending an email out to my students with the link to the 40 Days of New Life challenge.

Hey even our Pastors (Albert and Keith) are blogging about it!

New Classrooms Are Ready For Use!

The elevator passed inspection this week!  This means that the new classrooms are available.  Please, plan to setup your rooms prior to class time and communicate the change to your students.

Thanks for your patience in the room changes.  WooHoo!  We can move forward and work alongside the Lord as He builds our classes!
