Missions Trip to Esperanza
A missions trip to Esperanza is planned for August 10 – 17. Groups from New Life have been going to Esperanza for many years to help with a wide variety of tasks. Our work enables the staff to spend more time in their ministry to the local people and to run camps and other activities. This is an opportunity for New Life families, couples, singles of all ages and abilities to serve in a beautiful location on the remote coast of Vancouver Island. All kinds of help is needed, which means there is a job for everyone. Learn more about this trip by clicking the button below. Registration forms are due by April 30.
Easter Weekend Services
From Palm Sunday to Easter Sunday we’ll reflect on the theme “In Remembrance of Me.” On Palm Sunday (March 24) we will remember Jesus’ triumphal entry as a king. At the Good Friday service on March 29 at 6pm, we will contemplate the sacrifice Jesus made. And on Easter Sunday, March 31 at 10am, we’ll celebrate the great hope that Jesus brings. Following Jesus’ command to “do this in remembrance of me” recalls the sadness of Jesus sacrifice, but it also anticipates the great celebration when we are joined with Jesus in his Kingdom. So on Easter Sunday (instead of on the usual Good Friday service) we will celebrate the Lord’s Supper. Everyone is welcome to these services as we anticipate the joyful banquet of our Lord.
The Journey – March 23
The next Journey workshop is scheduled for Saturday, March 23. The session will be hosted by Pastor Nathan. Together we will walk through some ways to think about and nurture our prayer life.
Journey sessions are held once a month to equip participants for the journey of faith. They are held on the fourth Saturday of each month. The intent for these discipleship workshops is to help form our faith as we learn to be followers of Jesus. They are open to anyone, and feature a variety of topics related to faith and spirituality. We ask that you register for each session to help antcipate how many people to expect. Registration will be open right until the workshop starts.
