(We missed you too Terry!)
We had such a great time playing "Think Inside The Box" with the kids last week. The kids loved the game, but our 9:15am team was truly missed. Big shout out to Eva, Jalissa, Kizinga, and Samatha (guest volunteer) for holding down the fort!
Here are some pics from this past Sunday, February 20th!

This Sunday will be a unique Sunday. During Plug In (Small Group Time 1) we will be taking the kids down to the Food Pantry to hand in their donations! It'll be a good time for them to exercise kindness and a great way for them to learn more about how New Life Fellowship is serving our local community. We hope to give the kids more opportunities to serve in our church soon. So keep an ear out for how you can too!
This weeks bottom line is:
Do for your enemies what they wouldn't do for you.
Eeek! That's a tough one. It’s easy to be kind to those who are kind to us, but where the rubber meets the road is how we treat those who aren’t so kind to us, those who do, say, and dish out unkindly—in short, our enemies. Which is why this Sunday's Bible story is particularly delectable for those who like an unexpected twist: Jesus turning a self-proclaimed and determined detractor into one of the most influential and prolific believers of all time through a “son of encouragement,” who negotiated a second chance for a former enemy. But that’s just the crazy kind of kindness that God offers us: He’s the Master of second chances—and third and tenth and five hundredth chances. When God offered us salvation through Jesus, He performed the most extreme and unexpected act of kindness ever. Because God gives us a “second chance,” He wants us to do the same for others. He wants us to do for our enemies what they wouldn’t do for us. When we do, there’s no telling what God will do in people’s hearts.
