Small Groups
New Life Christian Fellowship facilitates a variety of small groups throughout the year. The small groups run for approximately 12 weeks, and are held in the winter/spring, summer, and fall.
Our fall 2009 small groups will begin the week of September 14th. Sign-up sheets will be available in the entryway until then.
MONDAY NIGHT:
HOT TOPICS!!! Our Monday night small group has been meeting to study and discuss what God’s Word has to say about hot topics facing our culture. Recent topics have included Authority and Capital Punishment. Each week a new topic will be addressed. Led by Ted and Sally Back.
@6:30 PM in the Green Room at NLCF.
A STUDY ON WORSHIP: Especially for those who participate in worship team, but open to all who want to study what worship looks like. The book we will be studying teaches us more about worship by teaching us about the Tabernacle- the place of worship God designed for the Israelites. God said about the Tabernacle, "Then have them make a sanctuary for me, and I will dwell among them.” Come learn what the Tabernacle can teach us about worshiping God today! Led by Bill Burmeister, Suzanne Smith and Geoffrey Hensley.
@7PM at NLCF.
TUESDAY NIGHT:
BUSINESS BY THE BOOK: For men and women who want to study how to take your faith into the workplace. What would happen if you made your business decisions by the BOOK? This updated version of the bestselling Business by the Book offers radical principles of business management that go beyond the Ten Commandments and other biblical maxims. Business by the Book is a step-by-step presentation of how businesses should be run according to the Creator of all management rules. Led by William Jones.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT:
SCRIPTURE MEMORY FOR ALL AGES: From the book entitled Taking the Word of God To Heart, different age groups will work together on practical ways to remember God’s Word. Because God's Word is alive, it will speak to our lives. This guide shows us how to get the most out of Scripture in our devotional times. *Class will be held every other Wednesday*

{2.42} JR. HIGH SMALL GROUP
Lots of people are familiar with the stories of the Bible; Noah, Moses, David, Peter, Paul, and Mary, but how many of us see these things as more than just stories? How are they related to one another? Do they really make a difference in our lives from day to day? This small group is aimed at helping students begin to read their Bible more deeply than they might have in the past. We will be looking at how to ask questions of the text and how stories fit together with one another in the Old and New Testaments. We will also look at how to apply the words of the Bible in our daily, personal reading, and what to do if we don’t understand something we read. The study is intended for Jr. High students, but the older students are welcome to talk to Joe about attending if they are interested.
@6:45PM at the Watkins’ home.
PRECEPTS: The Fall, The Flood, The Nations
“The book of Genesis--how can we possibly grasp its importance as the foundation of biblical revelation? The Bible without the book of Genesis would be a book with no foundation, no reasons for the teachings which follow that are vital to our faith. As you study chapters 3-11 you will better know your God. You will learn how to view yourself, your world, and your entire life through the truths established in this precious book.” Led by Denise and Tom McKnight.
@7PM at NLCF.
FOR PARENTS/GRANDPARENTS OR THOSE WHO HELP PARENTS: If you were not around, would your child do the right thing? Often we parent in ways that are behavioral. We create consequences that for a child to do the right thing out of fear of those consequences. But, if you were not around…would they choose to do the right thing? Shepherding A Child's Heart is about how to to speak to the heart of your child. The things your child does and says flows from the heart. Luke 6:45 puts it this way, "...out of the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks." (NIV) Written for parents with children of any age, this insightful book provides perspectives and procedures for shepherding your child's heart into the paths of life. Led by Kenny and Shannon Eads

THURSDAY NIGHT:
AN OVERVIEW OF THE NEW TESTAMENT: Become Certified in Ministry by taking a 2 year course of study!!! Three of the classes will be Biblical in nature. The other classes will be designed specifically around your area of interest and calling. You will begin with an Introduction to the New Testament this fall. These 12 weeks will cover a look at the Gospels, the book of Acts, Paul’s writings, A New Testament understanding of suffering and Truth and a brief overview of the Revelation. Each participant will meet with either Mark or Ron to design their curriculum for the area of interest and calling. In order to receive certification, participants must be present for at least ¾ of the class sessions, complete and turn in homework, and fulfill an agreed upon course of study. We are excited about this great opportunity and believe that this is the first step in beginning a Shepherding Ministry at New Life!!!
@6:45-8PM at NLCF.
M.O.M.s GROUP- Are you a mother who needs both a Bible Study and fellowship with other mothers and children? Jessica Howell is starting a M.O.M.s group. M.O.M. stands for “Mothers On a Mission.” Each week there will be devotional given followed by a time of sharing and fellowship. Children are welcome!

STEPPING HEAVENWARD: A Book Study for Women and girls over 12. Stepping Heavenward is a novel written in the late 1800’s to teach women to go to the Scriptures to learn how to walk with God and discover the joy of knowing Jesus more fully with a Bible study written more recently taking certain topics from the novel, adding specific Scripture to back up the topics from the novel. One woman who read the book commented, “ This book was written over 100 years ago, yet I was able to identify with her struggles, her circumstances, her feelings and her failures.”
@7PM in the Adcocks’ home.
