The Northwest Baptist Convention and the Interstate Baptist Association (both of which we are part of) are sending Adult Ministry Leaders from around the Northwest to Rockwall, Texas this weekend for training from Pastor Carter Shotwell of Lake Pointe Church.
You may remember Pastor Shotwell from the time he spent at our church helping us to learn about the Life Group model. In fact, you can see video clips of the training on the right hand side of this blog or check them out on YouTube. :)
It should be a great time of learning about how we can best continue the process of implementing Life Groups here at New Life! Please pray for us (Pastor Albert, Pastor Keith, Dee and myself) as we travel.

40 Days of New Life
Well Pastor Albert and Pastor Keith laid down the gauntlet last Sunday. Will we as Teachers and Coordinators take up the challenge and encourage our students to do the same?
I am eager to see what God will do with a body of believers fully committed to Him. I am personally praying that God would increase my love for His Word and my love for His people. Combining the two I want to see my students grow in their love for His Word. I'm sending an email out to my students with the link to the 40 Days of New Life challenge.
Hey even our Pastors (Albert and Keith) are blogging about it!

Question: The Tribe of Simeon in the Divided Kingdom
So I am a bit confused, and I suspect that between all of us we'll be able to straighten out my confusion!
In the map below, I see that the tribe of Simeon is surrounded by the tribe of Judah.
We know that the nation of Judah (the Southern Kingdom) is only made up of the tribe of Judah and the tribe of Benjamin (based on 1 Kings 12:21).
So the question is: What is Simeon's place in the Divided Kingdom?
(The goal of this blog is that will be a place where we can post our questions and thoughts freely and have discussion as each of us grow deeper in our walk with the Lord!)

Kings and Propets of Judah / Israel Chart
Does anyone have a good online or image of a chart showing the kings and prophets of Israel?
For myself, and the students I'm teaching, I've found that having a chart to refer to really helps me to see how the history of Israel and Judah line up.
My Logos Bible Software has some charts that may be useful.
Post a comment below in response. I'm eager to learn better tools to better equip our people!

Elevator / Room Move Delayed
So close!
As of yesterday the elevator inspection has been delayed because of the unavailability for some electrical relays, required in order to pass. The relays are on order, but have not yet arrived and it is not going to be possible to complete the work and have the inspector come before Sunday. As far as the completion of the elevator depends on New Life we are now shooting for Sunday, December 12th. The work doesn't sound extensive so our part should be done.
Thus the usage of the new rooms will need to delayed.
We're getting there! Thanks for your patience and understanding!
On the positive side this gives us another week to paint our rooms! The newly painted rooms look great. Kudos to John Sutton's LG, Bob Hagman's LG, and Christian Brown's LG for jumping at the opportunity already!
