Sit back and relax.  I love writing the New Life ramblings.  These are just random thoughts on life, church, my family, God and faith.
 

• This Sunday we will be praying for all police officers and firefighters at the end of our services.  Protection.  Honor. Strength. 
• If you know of any police officers or firefighters invite them to church with you.
• The next two weeks are perhaps the most important messages I will ever preach.  We are dealing with sin, temptation, redemption, forgiveness, and evil in our world. 
• This Sunday—“Forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors”
• We need parking volunteers.  If you can help email Pastor Ricardo.
• Jana turned 40 this week.  I had a Santa come and sing happy birthday to her at our staff and elder Christmas party.  Let’s just say-he was creepy.  Made for a fun laugh.  Jana and I are still laughing.
• Serve this community this Christmas season-watch this video
• Christmas Concert is next Friday and Saturday Night.  You don’t want to miss it. Pick up your tickets this Sunday.
• Here is a great blog to read called “Top Dozen Do’s and Don’ts for Facebooking Couples”
• Jana and had a good conversation this week.  What kind of year end gift can we give for our missionaries around this world?  I want to encourage you to do this.
• We are very excited about our Christmas Eve Services. (5, 6:30 and 10 PM).  This is one of my favorite traditions at New Life.  Invite your family and friends.
• We are 18 Sundays away from move in day for our new building.  They started to paint the outside of the building this week. 
• We are receiving lots of cool reports of small groups serving our community together. 
• Read Matthew 18:21-35 to prepare for Sunday.  Great story.  Read slow.  Reflect. 
• Excited about Sunday.  Praying for police officers and firefighters.  Worship.  Preaching a very significant message.  Honoring God.
