Do you ever find it hard to take conversations to the “next level”? Is it challenging to move from casual topics to meaningful spiritual conversations with friends, family, or neighbors? If so, you’re not alone. This workshop is designed to help turn common barriers into bridges toward deeper relationships and more natural faith conversations. It is part of our PIC3 initiative, which invites us to pray for, invite, and connect with friends who may not yet know Christ’s love or who feel distant from the church.

Men are invited to enjoy an evening of food, football, and fellowship as we watch the Big Game together. This is a great opportunity to invite friends, neighbors, or coworkers who might not otherwise connect with our community — no church experience required. Bring your appetite and your team loyalty! We’ll have plenty of food and drinks, fun halftime activities, and the camaraderie of watching the biggest game of the year together with other men. The sign up fee is $12. Please RSVP so we can plan for food.

Young adults (25–35), join us for 2nd Fridays! It’s a chance to build community, reflect on how faith speaks into the challenges of young adulthood, and grow together—while having fun and making new connections.

Our Black/African Diaspora Socials are a space for connection and community at New Life Fellowship. This month, we invite you to join us after service for our Black/African Diaspora Social, a time to meet other Black & African New Lifers and enjoy fellowship as we build meaningful relationships together. Light snacks will be provided.

Are you new to New Life? If you’ve been attending for a year or less and are considering making New Life Fellowship your home church, join members of our pastoral staff for a relaxed meal. You’ll hear more about the history, mission, and vision of New Life. You’ll also have an opportunity to ask questions and connect with our pastors. Lunch is completely free—just be sure to register so we can save you a seat!

Celebrate Black History Month with other young adults at a special screening of Big Time, an award-winning 90-minute documentary by New Lifer, Jasmine Blue. Big Time chronicles the life and legacy of Jasmine’s late grandfather, Sylvester Ford, Sr.—a man of deep faith and a celebrated Memphis basketball coach, educator, and Civil Rights activist. A brief Q&A and discussion will immediately follow the screening.

Have you ever thought about facilitating a small group? This six-week Lent study is a meaningful way to step in. With training, resources, and support provided, you’ll help guide a group through a church-wide study of the Gospel of Mark, meeting weekly from February 22 to April 5 during our series Mark: A Missional Gospel for New Yorkers.

New Life Sisters invites the women at New Life to an overnight retreat. Our theme for the weekend aims to have us listen again to the rhythm of our hearts and rediscover the life that flows from a deep, intentional relationship with God and one another. Through prayer, reflection, and shared community, this retreat will provide you with an opportunity to rest, renew, and realign. The retreat fee is $185. There’s a limited number of scholarships available upon request. If you’d like to donate to help someone attend the retreat, there is an option on the form.
