Jim Coy on Family Life

Hey New Lifers!  If you missed Col. Jim Coy on Family life this morning on BOTT Radio (89.9), here is a permanent link to the program (http://www.familylife.com/audio/topics/faith/essentials/growing-in-your-faith/20120528-a-gathering-of-eagles).  Take a listen, you will be glad you did.  Thanks to all our heroes who have served (including Col. Jim Coy)!  Happy Memorial Day.

Boundary Waters adventure

Great to be back from the Boundary Waters in Ely, Minnesota.  We were in for 3 nights and 4 days, caught lots of fish and had a great time as Father and Son.  Really, it was a survival trip as the weather was uncooperative.  Wind and rain were our constant companions.  We caught northern pike, walleye, small mouth and one large mouth bass.  Luke caught one northern pike that measured 31".  If you ever get the chance to go to the Boundary Waters, you should.  Take rain gear.  High temperature was mid 50s and lows were in the 40s.

Courageous Movie Event

Father's Day will be here soon on Sunday, June 17th.  What a great day to celebrate fatherhood and family.  But also an important day to challenge men to be courageous.  We want to invite you to a special showing of the Courageous Movie on Father's Day at Forum 8 Theater (9-11:30 AM).

Two times in Joshua 1:7,9, God commands Joshua "to be strong and courageous".  Join us on Father's Day 2012 as we receive a challenge to courageous living.

This will be a ticketed event.  Small group s will launch for 4 weeks following the movie.  Please call 573-443-LIFE or go to www.newlifecolumbia.org for tickets or more information.  Spread the word.

the Spirit-filled Life

This Sunday we will focus on the "Spirit-filled" life from Paul's letter to the Roman believers in Romans 8.  I hope you will join us at New Life as we celebrate Mother's day and reach out to connect with God in Christ.

In Romans 8, Paul continues to describe the Christian life as the "Spirit-filled life".  Many of you are probably asking, "How is it possible to live a "Spirit-filled" life?"  Join us Sunday as the Apostle Paul suggests that the Christian life really can be a super-natural life after all.  Don't forget to bring mom and the whole family.
