ATTENDANCE:
Sunday Morning:
This Sunday we will celebrate communion during both worship services. If you desire to watch the Sunday morning livestream, it now originates from our NLF Youtube Channel. This change helps improve what we can offer in our livestream. You may still access the livestream on our website (nlf-online.church) and our Facebook page. Please note that Facebook will not have the live stream as in the past, but will display a link to direct you to our actual livestream. Here is the direct link for the livestream on Sunday: www.youtube.com/@nlfonline
Body Life:
Body Life small groups will resume meeting on Wednesday, February 15th at 7-8:00 pm. A meal is served beginning at 6:15 pm. We are adding an additional time slot for those who prefer Sunday morning. The Sunday morning Body Life group will meet 9:30-10:15 am, beginning February 19th. Child care is provided and there are activities for all ages. Contact Russ Hunsberger for more information.

CPC Baby Bottle Drive:
Each year NLF supports the ministry of Compassion Pregnancy Center by participating in the annual baby bottle drive. We have baby bottles available in the foyer for you to take home, fill with change, and return by Sunday, Feb. 26th. Your loose change will allow Compassion Pregnancy Center to continue caring for mothers and babies, and in so doing, honor the sanctity of life. Thank you!
Groceries To-Go Drive Thru for our Community:
New Life will be offering a groceries to-go drive thru event to our community on Monday, February 13th between 4:00-6:00 pm. Each bag of groceries given will contain all of the groceries needed to make 2 hot meals for a family. This is a great opportunity to serve our community and we need your help! There are sign-up sheets in the foyer. For more information, contact Paige Lambright or Jasmin Miller.

Do you have plans for Spring Break? Michelle Sharick will be leading a team to Jamaica from April 1-8, 2023. We will be visiting and staying at Caribbean Christian Center of the Deaf.
