New Life Church Weekly Update

June 6, 2025

Celebrate Pentecost!

We press "pause" this Sunday on our "Faith That Works" series to celebrate Pentecost! Pentecost was first a Jewish feast from the Old Testament but is also now a Christian celebration. Fifty days after Easter, the Holy Spirit was "poured out on" the first Christians. The Spirit ignited a worldwide movement to share the good news of Jesus. 

But the Holy Spirit confuses a lot of people.

This Sunday, we'll revisit Pentecost in Acts 2 and talk about who the Holy Spirit is and what he does. Don't miss it!

New this Week:

• Kiwanis Shoes for Kids - Shoe Drive, June 15 - July 20
• Camp Chairs needed for Vacation Bible School

Youth Summer Mission Team 

This coming Sunday, (June 8th) the mission team will be presented to the church for a commissioning prayer at both Sunday worship services. We covet your prayers as our team serves in Imperial, Pennsylvania June 15-21. 

Mission Team members include:

Tim Buck, Andrew Carlson, Charlie Christesen, Eisley Kiburz, Leah Matthiessen, Jennifer Peters, Monique Peters, Zoe Taylor and Shepherd Taylor.

Do You Have a Camp Chair to Loan?

VBS “Bible Story Adventures” needs about eight (8) foldable camp chairs for children to safely sit in while listening to the Bible story during the Bible Adventures rotation. If you are willing to loan VBS a camp chair, please pin your name and phone number on the camp chair and bring it to the Youth Game Room in the Life Center. The game room is located next to Tim Buck’s office. VBS is held during the week of June 23-27. After June 27, you will be able to pick up your “loaner” camp chair. The VBS Bible story volunteers will have them safely stored on the second floor of Lenox Hall until you can pick up your chair. Let AJ Rilat know when you are coming for your chair. Contact AJ at aj@newlifeforall.church.

Kiwanis Shoes for Kids - Shoe Drive

June 15 - 20, 2025

We are partnering again this summer with the Kiwanis “Shoes for Kids” project. The purpose of “Shoes for Kids” is to provide new tennis shoes to any student in Charlotte County which needs them to begin the new school year, or throughout the academic year. Approximately 75% of the shoes are delivered to the Elementary Schools. You can drop off your donations of new shoes to the collection box located in Lenox Hall, beginning June 15. The collection will run through July 20th.
