Schedule Change Through Oct 22

Pastor Jay — Wed, 21 Sep 2011 00:53:46 +0000

This coming Sabbath, September 24, we are changing our schedule a little bit. We will continue to have our worship time at 3 pm just as we always do, but we will have the class time at 2 pm instead of after the worship time. To complement with our Decoding Prophecy series which continues over the next several weeks in Shakopee, we will have a Bible Marking Class at 2 pm every Sabbath until October 22. A Bible Marking Class teaches you how to mark key Bible verses on special topics so you are able to give Bible studies to friends.

Also, following our worship time this sabbath we will share some light fellowship food. The goal here is to socialize longer while having something to eat. This is more stand- or sit-and-chat food, not the big entrees that we regularly bring to fellowship meals. So bring some food and invite a friend!

2 pm – Bible Marking Class
3 pm – Conversation Worship Time
4:30 – Food and Fellowship Time

Worship at Lions Park September 3

Pastor Jay — Mon, 29 Aug 2011 21:09:58 +0000

This Sabbath, September 3, we will meet at Lions Park in Shakopee for an unplugged worship time.

Lions Park is right across Adams Street from our regular location, New Creation Lutheran Church. Let’s enjoy worshiping the Creator outdoors! There will be no regular sermon, but instead an open testimony time to share the ways God has called us to step out in faith and what He did and is doing now. We will also have a potluck-style fellowship meal afterwards. This is picnic-style, so bring a dish ready to share. Invite a friend!

Where: Lions Park in Shakopee, Adams Street (Just across the street from New Creation Lutheran)
Shelter 2 (across the parking lot from the children’s playground)

When: 3 PM

If the weather is bad, we will meet at New Creation Lutheran.

See you there!

Understand Bible Prophecy

Pastor Jay — Mon, 29 Aug 2011 21:04:25 +0000

On September 8, a great event begins in Shakopee that you don’t want to miss! Decoding Prophecy is an evening Bible presentation series that will take you on an incredible journey through the most compelling book of our day, the book of Revelation in the Bible. You may have heard a lot of wild things about Revelation and what it says about our world today.

This series by Michael Sady will answer your questions and show you new questions to ask about living in the days just ahead.

Michael Sady will teach you sound principles of reading and understanding the prophecies of the Bible. More than that, he will show you another compelling example of a person in a dynamic relationship with Jesus Christ.

I encourage you to check out the website for this event, www.DecodeProphecy.com. You can check out the event schedule, register for FREE, and send invitations to your friends.

Decoding Prophecy starts September 8!

This six-week series incorporates shorth-length videos of six Bible stories.

God reveals Himself as…

Creator
Redeemer
Sustainer of all things

He has every resource to meet any of your needs.

In each class, we will connect what we discover about God to the financial needs in our society today.

Renew Time to Pray! Time and Location Change

Pastor Jay — Wed, 27 Apr 2011 02:07:42 +0000

Renew Time to Pray! is our weekly prayer time facilitated by Kristin Breiner. It has moved to a new night and a new location. Now on Tuesday evenings 6:30 – 7:30 PM, it is at Susanne Covington’s home in Shakopee. Go to our website for directions, by clicking on calendar and select Time to Pray!, then click on “map and directions.”

You can also let us know about any prayer requests you have by clicking on our prayer page. You can submit requests there as either private or public. If private, the pastor and prayer coordinator receive those and pray for them confidentially.

Resurrection: New Life in Christ

Pastor Jay — Wed, 27 Apr 2011 02:04:04 +0000

This Sabbath begins a new sermon series at our Conversation Worship Time.

Resurrection: New Life in Christ explores the encounters with the risen Christ and the birth of the church as we move towards Pentecost. As we travel through the coming weeks together, I pray that our collective sense of the Spirit’s presence grows, and we experience more of that wonderful transformation Jesus’ first disciples experienced as they spent time with Jesus, death’s overcomer!

Passover Seder – 4/23/2011

Pastor Jay — Wed, 20 Apr 2011 02:02:58 +0000

At Renew this Sabbath, for Easter Weekend, we are celebrating in a special way by sharing a Seder Meal together, the traditional way to observe the Passover. In the sanctuary you will find round tables set for a meal instead of rows of chairs. We will start at our regular 3 PM time.

We are doing this in order to connect the Passover experience of the Old Testament with the crucifixion of Jesus in the New Testament. Jesus ate this Passover meal with His disciples the night before He was crucified, and we will try to experience a little of what that meal was like. There will be responsive reading and teaching points as we move through the meal together, and this is all “hands on,” so the children will love it! There will also be a special children’s story as part of the service.

In the middle of the Seder we will eat a full meal of fresh breads, fruits & veggies, cheeses and soup. This is just a great opportunity to invite a friend to church. I hope to see to see you this sabbath!
