Sunday was a great Mother’s Day.

​Sunday was a great Mother’s Day. We had a good crowd with lots of guests and a lot of enthusiasm. The photo booth was open again and every lady present received the gift of a succulent plant. We had great special music, the Men’s Trio sang, “I’m Going There” and Amy Thomas closed out the service with a great song, “The Mind of Christ”. Thanks to everyone who made Sunday happen. 
​
 I am excited to tell you that I will be teaching a class in the Life Group semester that is coming up. You have heard me talk about New Life having roots in what is called The Restoration Movement, a movement that has as its goal, restoring the church that we find in the Bible, especially in the book of Acts. 

There will be seven lessons beginning on Wednesday, June 4, at 10:00am. With all of the construction taking place I can’t tell you for sure where we will meet but as soon as I know I will make sure you will know. 

I’m calling the class, “The Restoration Movement; Bringing the New Testament Church to America.” We will look at the beginning of this unity movement that began in England and especially Scotland. The principles of the movement began to be found in various churches on the American frontier around 1800. Churches began coming together and finding unity with one another based on two propositions: The Lordship of Jesus Christ and the authority of the Bible. 

​I hope that you will give some thought about joining us. You will learn some pretty cool stuff about churches on the American frontier and the unique and interesting founders of this movement. You can sign up on Sunday.
