Welcome
New Life News
Announcements
Welcome!
This Sunday is our last week of a four week emphasis on how we
live for God's glory by seeking the good of others. This week we
focus on God's compassionate love for all nations, cultures, and
languages.
As New Life is a large church, it can be a challenge meeting and
getting to know others — to feel like you’re truly part of the church
community. Start by letting us know you are here, by filling out the
index card in the bulletin. Place it in the offering basket at the end of
the service.
We encourage everyone to form meaningful relationships with others
at New Life by doing the following: choose a worship service time
and attend regularly, get into a Home Group, find a team or
ministry where you can regularly serve with others, and be in
conversations with your friends about what the gospel means to you.
Visit the Info Desk to find out more about these opportunities.

We are looking for more greeters for Sunday mornings! Each Sunday we
have a team of dedicated people who help by greeting, passing out bulletins,
and ushering in the auditorium. This is a once a month commitment. If you
would like to serve in this way contact Beth Curley at [email protected] or
contact the office (215) 641-1100.
Parents of 3rd thru 5th grade students: Students in these classes may elect
to join a membership class beginning February 8 at the Sunday School
hour. Students will study the truths of the Christian faith and afterwards, have
the option to be interviewed for membership by the elders. You can sign up by
contacting the church office or signing your child up on New Life Online using
the link on the left. Direct questions to [email protected].
Giving Statements. This year, statements of charitable giving to New
Life will come through an email containing a link for you. You will need to
log in to New Life Online and your statement will be available anytime you
want. There will be more detailed instructions in the email. We will provide
a paper statement to those who request them, and to those who have no
email address in our records. Please contact Ward Shope with questions.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: To ensure the deductibility of your church
contributions, do not file your 2014 income tax return until you have

Prayer Requests:

That we would be faithful and effective partners with the local teams
doing church planting in Granada and N. Africa, by sending summer
English Camp teams and ultimately sending long-term workers to join
them.

That we would be a church that gives generously and joyfully sends
workers into the global harvest field, in order that those who have never
heard would have the opportunity to respond to the Gospel.

That by February 1 this year's Granada Team will be formed and will be
beginning their preparations to participate in English Camp July 1-12th.

That as a congregation we would be generous with finances, time, and
energy in partnering with the diaconal ministries we support with our
Resurrection Offering.
Outreach
Prayer of Confession
From the Valley of Vision based on Acts 17:24-31
We confess that you are the God who made the world and all things in it.
You are the Lord of heaven and earth who does not dwell in temples made
with hands, nor served by human hands. We acknowledge that you and you
alone give to all people life and breath and all things; and made from one
man every nation of mankind, that we all would seek you O Lord. We
humbly thank you for calling us to repentance, and declare our belief that
you have fixed a day in which you will judge the world in righteousness
through your son Jesus whom you raised from the dead. Help us to find in
his death the reality and immensity of his love. Open for us the wondrous
volumes of truth in his, “It is finished.” Increase our faith in the clear
knowledge of atonement achieved, expiation completed, satisfaction made,
guilt done away, our debt paid, our sins forgiven, our souls saved, hell
vanquished, heaven opened, eternity ours. Write these truths upon our
hearts. Amen.
Prayer of Belief: Lord Jesus Christ, I admit that I am weaker and more sinful than I
ever before believed, but, through you, I am more loved and accepted than I ever dared
hope. I thank you for paying my debt, bearing my punishment and offering
forgiveness. I turn from my sins and receive you as Savior. Amen.
Conversation Cafes at ESL: Wednesday, February 4, from 7-8:30pm , and
Saturday, February 7, from 10-11am. Bring your home group! For details

ESL classroom and talk on how God uses ESL ministry. Cost is $50

throughout). Attendance both days is required. Contact Laurel Kehl at
