Hello Church, 

This year, with an emphasis on life-on-life discipleship, we are looking to deepen our discipleship and help others do the same. Part of being a disciple, a "learner" or "follower" of Jesus, is listening to Jesus to know how to learn from and follow Him. Talking with God throughout the day and reading Scripture helps us to stay attuned to how He is leading and teaching us. This listening and obeying is amplified when we do it with others. We all need encouragement as we follow Jesus! New Life Church continues to be a community where people spur on one another in loving God and others. Let us continue to lean in!

And so I ask: Who can you encourage this week in a lifestyle of worship, community, and mission? 

Sometimes the answer is right in front of us. God has placed others within our midst to love and encourage.

Blessings,

Gaia Stanley, on Behalf of the Elder and Minister Team
