Welcome to Lifelines Online, our weekly guide to everything that’s happening at New Life in this lockdown season.
You will be aware that this week the Government announced a further easing of the lockdown restrictions including the partial re-opening of places of worship. We are now thinking through the process of meeting again. Although this may initially be very different than before, we plan to face the ‘new normal’ full of hope and anticipation at what God will do.
To help us in our planning we’d really appreciate hearing from you. What has been your experience of the Lockdown? What are your thoughts about meeting again? Please fill in the questionnaire by Sunday 28 June, to help us prepare for the ‘new normal’ together.
This Sunday
Join us this Sunday at 10am on YouTube for our Sunday morning service where Mark Rossell will be speaking. Notes from Mark’s talk will available on the website from 9:15am on Sunday. Immediately after the service there will be an opportunity to catch up with one another on Zoom. Check your email or the facebook group for the details.
Midweek Devotional
This Wednesday, Bunty Bunce, one of our New Life missionaries will be sharing a word of encouragement. You can watch this on our website or on our Facebook group from 6pm on Wednesday.
Healing in the Church – this Sat – 27 June
We will be looking at ‘How to receive strength for our mental & emotional well being during lockdown’. There will be time to share in small groups and pray for one another. If you know someone in ill-health from Covid 19 or other illnesses, please join us so we can pray for them. Alternatively send their name to kofi.sunu@newlifecroydon.co.uk.
Please also continue to contact us with your prayer requests and testimonies. Links are at the bottom.
