SHARE THE JOY

There will be no 1st Thursday CONNECT in December. Instead, bring a friend and come for a special Christmas celebration—SHARE the JOY!

  • Sunday, December 8, 4-7 PM

  • New Life Church, West Linn

  • Festive treats, crafts, book ideas, Bible resources

  • Best of all, enjoy space to quietly reflect on the Advent of Jesus Christ. Nancy Carlson has taken scripture and written a set of Letters of Love which will be combined with music and visual beauty to create reflection stations. The letters, along with the scripture references, will be yours to keep for further reflection on Jesus’ love.

1st THURSDAY CONNECT

Though there will be no 1st Thursday CONNECT in December, there will be 1st Thursday CONNECT on January 2nd! We will enjoy dinner, fun, and encouragement from God’s word in the book of John. More information to come, but grab your new 2020 calendar and pencil it in on day #2!

John has been our book of the month for November. We will be reading John through December as well, so it’s not too late to jump in. There are handouts available in the church entryway and on the church website.

ODDS & ENDS

  • Every once in a while, there is an event at West Linn High School which maxes out the parking around the high school and New Life Church. Unbeknownst to us, there were about 4 of those events on the 1st Thursday in November! Our apologies to those of you who drove around and couldn’t find a parking place. In looking at the high school calendar, it doesn’t look like we should have another one of those nights in the foreseeable future. But, in general, here are a few parking tips:

  1. Come early if you can.

  2. Grab a parking spot on the street first if you are able.

  3. The upper parking lot at the high school is often an option—workout included!

  4. If the church lot is full, pull in or text and let us know. We can shuttle people from parking spots farther away.

  • Thank you again to Men’s Ministry for cooking breakfast for 1st Thursday CONNECT in November! It was delicious and so appreciated. Not only did they cook, but they stayed and cleaned up the whole kitchen. When you see Billy Ferguson, Annie Ferguson, Frank Hedrick, Lee Bennett, and Mike Polley, give them an extra thank you!
