Fasting Information

We are believing God to move in an extra ordinary way in each of our lives and in the lives of our family and friends. Even in the midst of this holiday season, start to ask God for HIS direction as you enter this fast. If you need some information about fasting, please stop by our Information Booth and check out our  "Think Fast" brochure. We also have a Childrens' calendar which encourages varies types of fasting for children that doesn't involve giving up food and a Fasting committment card for your use. Lastly, we have a
FACEBOOK page where you can read testimonies, share stores and encourage one another as together we seek God's direction. Additional resources can also be found at www.awake21.org and click HERE for planing calenders, and first timer information and types of fasts.

Everything Skit: In case you missed it!

Many are calling the "Everything Skit" a phenomena, but it is so much more than that, as more and more continue to fall in love with Jesus or revive their relationship with Him after watching it. The drama focuses on the spiritual warfare being fought for our souls. We are reminded that Christ already won the battle for our souls on the cross, and that we have victory over our sins through our hope and redemption in Jesus.  It affirms I John 4:4: "You dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world."

WHAT'S HAPPENING @ NEW LIFE  

Hearing God: Living Attentive to the God who Speaks
We've all heard of angels and loud voices resounding from the heavens, but most of us have never actually heard God speak audibly or sat down and talked with an angel over nachos. It seems you can't turn three pages without seeing God talking to someone in the Bible, but does that kind of stuff still happen today? Often people describe the voice of God like a prompting or a whisper, but in a world that shouts for our attention how are we supposed to make out which "voice" belongs to God? In the next five weeks we will be talking about how God speaks into the world today and how we can tune our ears to listen.

Picture Request– If you have any pictures from any of our church summer events, please email those pictures to Cheryl Schoon at Cheryl_Schoon@att.net.
