BOOKS AND BRUNCH

We are a group of 20-somethings that meet to share a meal, worship and discuss our Lord. For He is worthy of all praise, honor and glory. We spend the night making a big deal about God. Bring your bible if you want to join the discussions after worship.

Let’s encounter God together as we meet once a month for brunch on Saturday. Throughout the month we will read one book together that will engage our minds and hearts toward Christ; then we’ll meet for fellowship, food, and fun!

PIKES PEAK AREA ADVENTURE MEAL GROUP

Let’s slow down, enjoy what we have in our own backyard, and get to know each other in the process! Activities aren’t super strenuous, but you’ll need to be somewhat physically fit. Sign up now so we can put you on the email list. (One activity/month June to early Oct.; Saturday am/early afternoon, or Sunday right after second service.)

WORSHIP | BL ES SED We come together to worship the Triune God and to be formed as His people. In every weekly gathering—from children to youth to adults—we want Christ to be the unmistakable center of all that is said and sung. Together we enter and participate in a “Gospel-shaped Narrative”: moving from celebration in song to the proclamation of the scripture, from confession of sin to gratitude for God’s grace, from prayer and petition to being commissioned back into the world. The cross and table are the central symbols of this Story. IN DOING THIS, WE REMEMBER THATWE ARE BLESSED.

CONNECT | BROKEN As believers, our faith, though personal, is never private. We have been called onto this journey with a great company of others; we have been baptized into a family. Our gatherings at New Life Downtown are meant to be a catalyst for forming community with one another. We move from the Lord’s Table on Sundays to our dining tables throughout the week. All of our groups at New Life Downtown are meal groups for this reason.

It is in meal groups that we begin to share our lives together. But a thing can only be shared when it is broken. As we take the risk of vulnerability, of letting others into the cracked and broken places, we find the grace of God comes flooding in through our love for each other. Christ then becomes the defining center of our community. IN DOING THIS, WE REMEMBER THAT WE ARE BROKEN.

SERVE | GIVEN We do not exist for our own sake. The people of God (like the bread and the cup in Christ’s hands) have been blessed and broken that we might be given for the sake of the world. Each meal group at New Life Downtown takes on a specific way of serving our city, becoming a kind of missional community. IN DOING THIS, WE REMEMBER THATWE ARE GIVEN.

If you’re looking for additional details of each of the Downtown meal groups, you can contact the group leader. If you’re looking to start with meal groups, the Welcome Team and Pastor Evan would love to meet you and help you get connected.
