$2 Men’s Breakfast – Mar 8
🥓 $2 MEN’S BREAKFAST AT NEW LIFE 🥓🍳
Saturday, March 8 at 8am at New Life Church
Gentlemen, it’s time to fuel up—physically and spiritually! Join us for a legendary Men’s Breakfast at Newlife, where the coffee is strong, the bacon is crispy, and the conversation is life changing.
On the Menu:
- ✔ Toast (because carbs = energy)
- ✔ Scrambled eggs (protein for power)
- ✔ And of course… BACON. Lots and lots of bacon.
But it’s not just about the food. You’ll hear real stories from men already in a 3M Group. A 3M group is a group of 3 men who meet and grow together in Manhood, Mission, and Maturity (not just muscle, motorcycles, and meat, but hey, those are cool too).
The men’s ministry exists… “To create opportunities for men to connect intergenerationally, and to challenge one another to grow in Christ-likeness”
Thinking about joining a 3M group? This is your chance! You’ll also get the inside scoop on upcoming events designed to challenge, equip, and encourage you in your faith.
Come hungry. Leave encouraged.
Wondering what to do next? Sign up at the info booth on Sunday Feb 23 or March 2. The just bring a toonie, your appetite, and we’ll see you on March 8!

The Journey – Feb 16
The February workshop in The Journey series is scheduled for Sunday, February 16, 2025 at 6:30pm – 8:30pm. Pastor Nathan will give an overview of the Heidelberg Catechism.

Switchlife Prayer Night – January 30
Prayer is important and praying corporately is one simple way that we can grow as a church and as individuals. Group prayer is outside of many of our comfort zones, but that doesn’t mean that this isn’t for everyone. Whether you pray silently or pray out loud, the annual Switchlife Prayer Night is an important tradition and opportunity. We will break into different small groups and each group will be led in prayer by 3 or 4 youth. We will be praying for topics chosen by those students.
This is a unique opportunity to learn the minds and hearts of our young ones as we seek God together. If you’re a grandparent, an uncle or an aunt, a parent, or simply someone who wants to pray with the next generation of leaders, this prayer night invitation is for all. We hope to see you on Thursday, January 30 at 7:30pm.
