Urban Missionary Experience 2013

By the year 2030, 60% of the world’s population will be living in cities.  Ever wondered what it’s like to follow Jesus in an urban setting?  Join a team of churchplanters from New Life and NLCF on a summer trip to Los Angeles, CA for an Urban Missionary Experience.  We will be working with and learning from people living out their calling to love, serve, and bless others in the city.

Some of the people and organizations we will be working with are Kairos Los Angeles (network of churches started by New Life Christian Fellowship), Hope International, The Manna RoomViaCordisBicycle Bread Co, and Open Arms Christian Center.

Here is the facebook page for the latest updates.

No Sunday 10am church service

On the 4th of July weekend we traditionally do not have a Sunday church service.  We encourage our homegroups to host smaller events and hang out with friends and neighbors.  Check out the post below for one of these events on Sunday evening that is open to all:  Whose Line is it Anyway?

Easter Sunday Services!

Our New Life Community (NLCF Downtown Congregation) is joining together with The River church for a combined Worship Gathering on Easter Sunday, April 8th.  We will start at the same time, 10am, but in a different location.  Our combined Easter Sunday gathering will be at the Days Inn in Blacksburg.

Our worship gatherings for the Campus Undergraduate Congregation are as usual:
11am, Squires Colonial Hall
7:07pm, 130 Jackson St.
