2019 Per Capita

One of the regular expenses in the church budget is Per Capita, a yearly apportionment that each Presbyterian congregation is

asked to pay to cover the administrative costs of the governing bodies. Your Per Capita contribution allows our mission dollars to be spent directly on mission projects rather than on the costs of administering a mission. Per Capita for the year 2019 is $28.55 per church member. The total apportionment for New Life Presbyterian Church is $3,939.90 . This is how much more New Life would have available for programs and missions if each member paid their per capita for the year. You may use the blue “Per Capita” envelope included with your offering envelope pack or clearly mark your contribution as “per capita”. Feel free to contact the church office for more details on Per Capita contributions.

2018 Giving Statements We emailed year end giving statements to those who have an email on file with the church office. Printed statements were printed and are still in the Narthex for those who do not have an email on file. If you did not receive a statement, please call the church office to have one prepared for you. Thank you!

The Minister’s Memo –Drawn In

We spend too much time being “driven” rather than “drawn in.” We focus on what we “should” do rather than what we feel excited and compelled to do in our lives and in this world. This is even true within the life of the church. During this series, we will connect with our inherent creativity and nurture this foundational gift of being human. Embracing our creativity will give us renewed energy for passionate work, delightful play, and creative problem solving to

make this world a better place for all.

Greeters Needed! We are in need of greeters to welcome all who enter our doors each Sunday. No experience is necessary, just sign up on the bulletin board and arrive with a smile on Sunday! The sign up sheet is posted across from Pastor Mary’s office with many opportunities. Thank you in advance for being the face of our warm and welcoming congregation.

Our Spark House All Kids program continues with studies from the Old Testament.

Soup & Study Thursdays: 6:00 pm – BEGINS February 7th

CHRISTIAN: It’s Not What You Think Have you ever stopped to wonder, what it means to be Christian? Curiously, the term is never used in Scripture. Instead, Christian was a label used by outsiders to define Jesus’ followers. Jesus referenced ‘disciple’ as the key word he used to describe his supporters along with the fact that they would be known for their love – a novel concept for their time – and ours today. Through eight engaging and enlightening sessions, we will listen to best-selling author and pastor, Andy Stanley, unpack the qualities Jesus prescribes for his followers that made them unique. What if believers today embodied these traits? Would the non-believing world put aside its definition of ‘Christian’ and instead know us by our love? Explore this question and more with us Thursday evenings at 6:00 pm as we share soup, break bread and challenge what you think!

Prayer Group

Thursdays: 11:00 am – NOON Have you ever thought of Christian faith as something that is contagious? Rather like a disease that you catch? What would it take for your faith to become contagious, so that other people actually wanted to be caught by God? On Thursdays our Prayer Group continues to study what it means to be Contagious Christians. Come join with us and find out!

Faith Lessons Video Series-Walk as Jesus Walked

Mondays: 10:30 am – 11:45 am in Agape Hall Becoming a disciple of Jesus demands more than merely a deep commitment to the text and complete devotion to Christian community. The Messiah is king, and believers are called to pick up their crosses in daily pursuit after becoming like Him. Come join us for another insightful series by Ray Vander Laan—a noted historian and teacher—and rediscover the fierce passion of the apostle Paul and our early Christian brothers and sisters as the rabbi leads you through cities such as Aphrodisias, Antioch Pisidia, Lystra, and Cappadocia in ancient Asia Minor.
