*************
Book Table
New Life always offers a collection of instructive theological books for sale in its foyer. Here is a good opportunity for you to build a library, and more importantly, to build your faith through the gaining of knowledge (Prov. 10:14). Prices are affordable and the inventory is restocked regularly.
Fellowship Meals
Following our monthly communion service, which is the third Sunday of each month, NLPC holds a carry-in style fellowship meal. This meal provides a wonderful opportunity for the church family to stay connected and catch up on what’s going on in each other’s lives. Visitors are welcome.
Life Groups
Life Groups are for Learning, Intercession, Fellowship, and Extension. These groups allow members to study the Scriptures and minister to one another through worship, prayer and encouragement. Most groups meet on Sunday evenings, but some may meet at other times during the week. If you have questions about Life groups or wish to join a group, please contact the church.
