Life:Talk Newsletter February 9, 2023

ANNOUNCEMENTS:

Sunday Morning:
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:  https://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. Child care is provided and there are activities for all ages. 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.

Preschool Enrollment:
Little Sprouts Preschool will start enrollment for the 2023-2024 school year in March.  We are letting our church family know, as we will have limited spots for the next school year.  If you have not already told us, that you would like an application, please contact Missy Eichelberger .


Family Game Night:
On Friday, February 24th at 6:30 pm, we will be having a Family Game Night at the church. Bring a favorite game and snack and join us for a fun time of playing various card and board games. For more information, contact Russ Hunsberger. Sign up is available at the Info Desk.

CPC Baby Bottle Drive:
Don’t forget to return your CPC Baby Bottle 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. You may bring your filled baby bottle to the Information Desk. 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.  A HUGE thank you to all who signed up to help and/or provide food donations.  Everything is now covered!
