Rise & Thrive!
1ST THURSDAY CONNECT
What habits or routines do you have that help you Rise & Thrive in the morning? We will pool our ideas on November 7th at 1st Thursday CONNECT and go away with some practical help. We’re having breakfast for dinner, cooked for us by some of the amazing men in our church because it happens to be “National Men Make Dinner Day.” Can’t wait! In addition, we will have teaching from Exodus and start two months in John over the holidays. There couldn’t be a much sweeter way to celebrate Christmas than by marveling at Christ in the book of John together!
When? November 7th, 6:30-8:30 PM
Where? New Life Church in West Linn
Sign up? On Facebook or text Marcia at 503-720-7197
SHARE THE JOY
There will be no 1st Thursday CONNECT in December. Instead, we will be having a Christmas reflection and jubilation on Sunday, December 8, 4-7 PM. Put it on your calendar, plan to invite a friend, and spend an evening preparing your heart for Christmas.

New Every Morning by Audrey Assad—A favorite Rise & Thrive song!
Give Me Jesus by Fernando Ortego—Another good morning song.
Endless Alleluia by Cory Asbury— “In the morning when I rise…You’re the first thought on my mind…” Oh, to live an endless Alleluia.
5 Loopholes We Use to Excuse Sin by Will Anderson—A fitting followup to our Colossians study.
