SHARE THE JOY

Even as we follow safety guidelines this Christmas, we are eager to get together and fix our eyes on Jesus! New Life Women and friends are invited to Share the Joy, a Christmas reflection and celebration.

Since numbers are limited, all attendees must register. Plan to arrive at your start time and stay 75 minutes. Please wear a face mask, and we will smile with our eyes as we share the joy of Christmas together.

Please contact Elaine Hochstettler at 503-314-4107 if you need to cancel or if you have questions.

ODDS & ENDS

  • November’s memory verses are Isaiah 40:6-8, and for December we will be memorizing Isaiah 40:9-11. If you would like memory cards, sign up for them at bit.ly/NewLifeWomenSignUp.

  • You can also share prayer requests at the same link. The Women’s Ministry leadership team is praying for each of you.

  • The November/December Bible Reading and Side by Side Bible Reading are in the book of Isaiah. It’s not too late to join in. Isaiah is a rich and beautiful book to be reading as we celebrate Christmas. Materials can be found on the New Life Church website.

 

LINKS

Below are links to articles, books, podcasts, and music that might be of interest or help on various topics. Resources are curated but may not always reflect the views of New Life Church. Enjoy!

  • Don’t Let 2020 Stop Your Thanksgiving—@TGC, a needed reminder.

  • Thanksgiving—some beautiful writing at The Palest Ink. “Aren’t we like taffy, being pulled and twisted again and again and again? As a Christ-follower, I understand that none of this is random. God is working out his kindness and perfect goodness, measuring our days on the machine, creating air bubbles of faith and obedience, making us more like his Son. Each day is a treasure, and although we cannot control what unfolds, we are permitted to choose what attitude we will hold.”

  • Encouragement for Hard Times from Saints of Old—by Tim Chester.

  • Thanksgiving Song—on Ben Rector’s new Christmas album.

  • Panorama Session 1—by Gay Haugen, in case you missed it or want to review.

  • New Every Morning—Audrey Assad singing the song we sang at November’s 1st Thursday Connect.

  • Light of the World—a new Christmas song from We The Kingdom.

  • O Come, All You Unfaithful—by Sovereign Grace. For Christmas and all the year long.
