Beth Moore's Living Beyond Yourself

This curriculum is excellent! It's Beth Moore's Living Beyond Yourself, which is one of Beth's most used Bible Study. We're progressing slowly through this workbook/DVD study. Through this study you'll come to appreciate the supernatural aspects of the fruit and that you cannot grow, learn, or produce the fruit on your own. Beth challenges you to develop the fruit by maintaining an intimate relationship with the Spirit of God

Beth Moore's Daniel

This Daniel study is a faith-building study of prophecy. We discuss living with integrity in today's self-absorbed society. The prophet Daniel faced unbelievable pressures to compromise his faith, to live in a hostile culture, and to confront temptations and threats. Today, believers in Jesus Christ face many of the same trials. The first 6 lessons discuss Daniel chapters 1-6 and all that Daniel faced. It's just like the pressures and temptations Christians encounter today. The second portion, lessons 7-12, explores thrilling prophecies from the time of Daniel through the second coming of Jesus Christ.

John Bevere's Driven by Eternity

Scripture tells us that how we live this life will determine the way we spend eternity. This book will teach you how to meet the great Judge of Heaven and Earth with hope and assurance.
> Discover your calling
> Understand the judgement of the deceived & believers
> Build a foundation of Scriptural truths about eternity
> Learn to multiply what God has given to you

Aug. 27th Eve - 6 Potluck; 6:30 Worship;
7 Program - World Prayer Center, Rm 107

An evening to connect, learn, love, laugh & live in the light! Our guest musician and friend is
Megan Isaacson!

I've heard it said that passion is contagious. Have lunch with an avid fisherman and you may want to grab a fishing pole yourself. Spend an afternoon with a sports fan, and you might begin cheering for a team you've never heard of. Spend thirty minutes with lead worshiper Megan Isaacson and her guitar and you’ll find yourself profoundly aware of the presence of God, an experience that will leave you thirsty for more of Him and less of you.

Megan is an unquenchable worshiper, which makes her a powerful worship leader and songwriter. Armed with a love for the Word of God and a thirst for His presence, she writes, plays and sings to worship her King and invites everyone to join her. Megan says …

"Something beautiful and powerful happens when God's people worship Him!"

"Whether we are many or few, worshiping with an orchestra or just our voices, it is the offering of hearts cleansed by the blood of Jesus and empowered by His Spirit that blesses the heart of God. Our worship is from Him, through Him and to Him!"

Megan's God-given ability to usher people into an awareness of the presence of God has refreshed and revived believers all over the world. She primarily leads with her voice and a guitar. "I like to keep it simple, as if we're singing around the coffee table in the living room. We're family, after all.”

Megan travels the U.S. and the world as a full-time lead worshiper and songwriter. She is the founder of River Wild Ministries. Megan is passionate about leading the people of God, through music, to respond to the love of God.

Cost is free! A donation basket will be available to donate towards Megan’s Ministry. Megan’s CDs will be available for purchase.

Ladies,

Kristen Anderson is a young woman whose suicide attempt was interrupted. Sometimes we don't know about the pain in other people's lives. Sometimes we can't even admit to the discouragement that is brewing in our own lives. But, God has a plan!

Wednesday night (7/28) is an unexpected night of miracles and encouragement put together just for you.

Kristen Jane Anderson, author of Life, In Spite of Me, will be at New Life Church's, 11025 Voyager Pkwy, World Prayer Center, Room 107 at 6:30 PM.

Kristen personally experienced a suicide attempt in her amazing story of God's rescue and grace. Her life was in shambles and she tried to take her own life. But, God had other plans. Come and hear her encouraging testimony.

Cost is free! Light refreshments will be served. There will be a donation basket in the back of the room if you would like to donate towards Kristen's ministry (http://www.reachingyouministries.com/).

See http://www.reachingyouministries.com/Kristen.html to read more about her story.

Because of this short-notice, please invite at least 3 friends. Then, consider inviting a special friend you know who might struggle with depression. This will be a time of encouragement for all.

This is a Chosen (http://BibleStudies4Women.blogspot.com/) event. Find us under New Life's Group link: http://newlifegroups.com/.

Our next Chosen event is August, 27th. Mark your calendar now to hear the wonderful music of Megan Isaacson of River Wild Ministries (http://www.riverwildministries.com/).

During first three week of March, we will highlight Women of Courage. Amanda Adams will be coordinating for us to learn more about this ministry and provide ways that we can help.

Ivy Hill is participating in an upcoming missions trip to India. We will set aside March 22-26 as a fundraiser for her trip. Here's a note from Ivy.

Over the past year, I have become involved in a group called "the MILL". There are over 1,000 people who gather every Friday night. theMILL exists to help people bend their lives around God. We are encouraged to realize that walking with God is not about fitting God into life, gut rather allowing God to define and inform who we are. This May, theMILL is taking a mission trip to India. I have been selected to be part of the mission's team, and that's why I'm writing you!
I am currently working to raise funds to get me there. I would be grateful for your prayers as I prepare to go. Any contribution you could make would be greatly appreciated. Whether or not you are able to give at this time, your prayers are coveted.
If you have any questions or would like more information concerning this trip please call me at 719-290-9515 or email me at Hill1A03@yahoo.com. I would love to share more details with you.

From Pastor Karen (3/9):
Good afternoon mighty women of God. Wanted to get out a reminder that the Garden is not meeting this week. Beginning this month we are meeting on the 1st and 3rd Wednesdays. We will meet again on March 17th – same time and location!
The Lord continues to move in mighty ways among us at the Garden. One young woman experienced complete healing in her neck last Wednesday evening, and wrote to share her testimony with me and the women who prayed for her, saying, “I know I was healed by the power of the Lord Jesus Christ.” We also took Communion together, for God’s spiritual, emotional, and physical healing. As we partook of the Lord’s Supper, He affirmed His love for each of us and His promise that all blessings of salvation are reserved for us, and we affirmed our faith and trust in our Lord Jesus Christ as we took this meal, remembering the price He paid to set us all free.
I would like to share with you a reading from Sarah Young’s devotional, “Jesus Calling.” The title is Rest in My Radiant Presence, and she writes, “the world around you seems to spin faster and faster, till everything is a blur. Yet there is a cushion of calm at the center of your life, where you live in union with Me. Return to this soothing Center as often as you can, for this is where you are energized: filled with My Love, Joy, and Peace. The world is a needy place; do not go there for sustenance. Instead, come to Me. Learn to depend on Me alone, and your weakness will become saturated with my Power.”

What an encouraging word, and powerful reminder of God’s unfailing love for us, His provision, covering, grace and mercy!
May you each experience God’s Radiant Presence, His healing light and love more deeply every day.

From Pastor Karen (3/9):

Bait of Satan by John Bevere is a book written by John Bevere. Your response determines your future. Have you ever been trapped? This book exposes one of Satan's most deceptive snares used to pull believers out of God's will. It is the trap of offense. Jesus said, "It is impossible that offenses will not come" (Luke 17:1). The question is not, "Will you encounter the bait of Satan?" Rather, how will you respond? Don't let another's sin or mistake affect your relationship with God! Remove yourself from the unnecessary drama of life.

Why Get Involved with Small Groups

2010-01-24T06:52:00.001-07:00

Why do you like Groups?

Because it helps me feel connected to people at church – Victoria
I appreciate that a young lady, who I love like a daughter, is able to come with me. - Leslie
I like small groups because you can share your heart and have the confidence that the women you are sharing with love and accept you. You’re able to get to know beautiful women and before you know it you've made some awesome friends ... friends that you look forward to seeing, sharing, and praying with. - Judy
I like Groups because fellowshipping with other ladies reminds me of who I am. It realigns me. - Ivy

What does the Group mean to you?　

It feeds my spirit and my soul. – Leslie
To me the Group is a family of Christian women. It is a wonderful time to learn from each other. - Magda
It allows me to learn about God and also be able to ask questions when needed. - Victoria
You get to know the individuals in your group and they become your family, your sisters in Christ. I enjoy the fellowship, the encouragement, the acceptance, the love and the prayers of the women in our small group. - Miros
In Groups I can relax and soak up His presence ... the snacks aren't too bad either! - Ivy

Why do you give up your time to come to Groups?

I appreciate small group for keeping me challenged not only in staying active in God's Word, but gleaning from other women's time with God helps me get spoon to mouth as well. :) - Cara
I take so little time for myself that I must commit to something in order to be able to eat of things of the spirit. – Leslie
Because God wants us to learn his Word in order to grow in Him. - Victoria
I give my time because it is making time for the Lord. It is time spent with sister's in Christ to learn more about His teachings. It is a blessed time that we have to get to know each other and to pray with each other. I look forward to learning more about God's word so that we can reach others for Christ. - Marcy
I give up my time to come to Group because often times I hear from God. - Ivy

Why join us in Bible Study, Prayer, Fellowship & Outreach?

2009-01-01T22:15:00.000-07:00

Shelley answers, "What has the Bible study meant to me?"
► God loves me with a passion.
► God's grace is sufficient for me.
► God has a plan for me and called me for a purpose.

I came in feeling as though I was in the midst of one of my greatest devastations. I felt founded by hurt, confusion, and sin. As my Christian sisters prayed and as we took time to study His Word, I have only received huge blessings in the better understanding of my God. ... Friends I know, will be for a lifetime. ... I couldn't see hope. Hurt seemed endless. But, now, I'm looking forward to see how God's grace is sufficient.

Diana answers the question, "What does this Bible study mean to me?"

Trying to think more about relating to others and less about "doing" just to get things done.
Learning to grow through the process and "enjoy the journey" rather than striving so hard for rewards and recognition.
Sometimes conditions are not perfect prior to my stepping out in obedience to the Lord.
Putting the Lord and the things of God first results in the rest of my life being in order, because I allow Him to guide me in other areas of my life.

Angie says that she enjoys the "willingness of the women to be so open!"

Steffani answers the question, "What has the Bible study meant to me?"

It has been a great opportunity to make new friends and hear inspiring teaching. This group has been a lifeline for me as I've only made a few acquaintances since moving here last April. I enjoy fun events and service activities.

November 2008 - Secret Givers (Outreach)

2008-11-15T10:00:00.000-07:00

God loves a cheerful giver! You can share the joy of giving throughout the year! We will be gathering gifts for Secret Givers, another New Life small group, which anonymously donates birthday gifts to children in crisis, in homeless shelters, safe houses or to families who just need a little help. All donations will be gathered together by 11/14. Join us and be a blessing to these children.

One "lasting gift" per bag and several "non-lasting" gifts are put into each gift bag, and when possible, we include a cake mix, can of frosting and birthday candles. We put these gifts into a pretty gift bag with tissue and tie on curly ribbons. Best resources for bags, tissue paper and candles are the Dollar Stores. Please bring any of the following:

"Lasting gifts" are stuffed toys, books, basketballs, soccer balls, small craft kits- whatever the giver chooses, usually no more than $10. We do not give gifts that need batteries because they are too expensive to replace. We do not give candy or clothing because of choking hazards and not knowing correct sizes.

"Non-lasting" gifts are soap bubbles, coloring books, crayons, sidewalk chalk, slinkys, silly putty, small Hot Wheels-type cars, jump ropes, puzzles... whatever is on sale and within your budget. Again, the Dollar Stores are a wonderful resource.

Cake mixes usually run about $1, frosting is about $1.50 at any grocery store, and birthday candles are very inexpensive if purchased at the Dollar Stores.

Please see Moni for more information.
