Christmas Services – Dec 24 & 25
It’s Christmas! You are invited to Christmas services at New Life church. Let’s celebrate together!
On December 24 at 4:30pm, we’ll gather for our annual Candlelight Christmas Eve Service. It’s a beautiful story-telling time where we reflect on the small and ordinary ways God reveals Himself to His people.
Then on Christmas Day at 10am, we’ll have our Christmas Choir Service—a joyful, music-filled celebration of the miracle of Jesus’ birth.
Nursery will be open for ages 0-3 for both of these services. These children should be checked in a few minutes before the service begins. There will be no mid service dismissal. Activity packets will be available for children to help them engage with the celebrations and worship.
We are excited to celebrate the miracle of small and ordinary with you!
The live stream can be viewed during service times at newlifecrc.online.church or afterward on our youtube channel.

The monthly Journey workshop is Sunday, October 26 at 6:30pm in room 303. Pastor Nathan Elgersma and Janessa Gritter will lead this workshop called “Mental Health in the Church.” How do we understand mental health? What is the relationship between mental health and spirituality? What does healing look like in a communal church context? We invite you to this month’s workshop to wrestle with these questions together. These Journey workshops will happen once a month and feature a variety of different topics.
