New Life LINK (May 24, 2023)

Our summer worship schedule starts this Sunday. It's time to get together and renew our relationships with folks for the 'other' service. See you Sunday at 9:30!

For Them

Too often we define ourselves as what we stand against. During May we will look at the people, groups and things that God is FOR and move towards being FOR the things that God would have us be. Each week we will focus on moving beyond ourselves and towards others. Join us this weekend!

FOR THE LONELY

"For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor rulers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord"

~ Romans 8:31-39

NLLC Buddy Day at Miracle League

Kiwanis Miracle League provides children with physical or mental challenges a safe and spirited environment where they can hit, run, and catch on a baseball field. Children aged 5-18 with special needs participate. Every player is matched with a “buddy” to help with hitting, catching, fielding, or throwing the ball, and to provide encouragement and assistance as needed. 

Volunteers range in age from middle school (12) to senior citizens. Buddies provide safety first; they enthusiastically play baseball with their special player; and encourage the player to have fun! Members from our church will be helping at the game on June 3 at 9:30. We need to arrive by 9:15 am. We need at least 20 volunteers. Talk with Lisa Smith (515.360.4828) for more information

Church Picnic

We’ll be hosting a church picnic and kickball game on Sunday, June 11th following worship. Meat will be provided. You’re invited to bring a dessert or side dish to share. We’re looking forward to it! See you there.

Lawn Mowing

Opportunity awaits you to sign up to mow the church lawn. Each week, volunteers use the zero turn anytime between Thursday-Saturday. Here is your time to put those headphones in, turn up the volume and work on your tan. Sign up today.

Lunch in the Park

Starting June 2 and each Friday during the summer, one of the Norwalk Area Ministerial Association Member churches will provide FREE lunch in City Park (near the library) 11am-1pm. New Life will be serving lunch on July 14 & August 11. If you have interest in helping at either of these events, please contact the church office or Lisa Smith (rossliasmith@gmail.com) to be put on a contact list for future reference.

All are welcome to the fun community event!

He's Back!

Remember the fun we had a few summers ago, following the adventures of Flat Jesus? Let's do it again! Take Flat Jesus with you all summer, wherever you go, whether it's around the world or around the corner.

Take lots of pictures and send them to us at newlifelutheranoffice@gmail.com or post to our Facebook page, we’ll post them in the south entrance lobby to share his adventures (and yours) with our friends at New Life. You may pick up your very own Flat Jesus in the South Entrance following worship or in the church office during the week.
