COLE BURKHARDT MEMORIAL 3x3 TOURNAMANT (TBA)
Youth grades 6-12, 3x3 Basketball Tourney on the New Life Parking Lot. Great Fun! Guys and Girls Divisions. Outstanding Competition! Tremendous Food! Trophies!

Remembering Cole:
Cole Burkhardt was a special young man who first attended New Life at the 3x3 Basketball Tourney on 6-2-02. A few weeks later, Cole attended our Youth Camp and invited Christ into his life. Cole immediately became a dynamic Christian and influenced his family and friends for the Lord. On December 4, 2002, at the age of 16, Cole went home to be with the Lord as the result of a sudden illness. It is our honor to dedicate this tourney to our friend Cole Burkhardt, who will always live in our hearts.

YOUTH CAMP (July 10-14)
Students, grades 6-12, enjoy a full week of extreme pandemonium and chaotic madness!! It is a great place to bond positive friendships and build positive values. A special youth communicator relates the Word of God to students in a powerful way. Youth Camp 2005 will be the highlight of your summer! (Scholarships are available upon request)

VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL (July 23-27) (6:30-8:30 pm)
New Life offers Vacation Bible School as our gift to the community. It is always one of the most exciting weeks of the year. Jesus said to "bring the children unto Him" and we welcome all children ages 4 through the 5th grade to attend!

MISSION TRIP (TBA)
Qualified High School students receive the opportunity to give of themselves as they minister to inner city kids in the heart of Chicago. Students receive intense training to prepare them for the challenge. The mission trip is a blessing to the people of Chicago, and the New Life students learn the value of "inner satisfaction" from self-sacrifice.

ANNUAL CHURCH PICNIC (TBA)
You will enjoy delicious food and friendly fellowship at our "dinner on the grounds." The dunk tank adds to the excitement as you get your opportunity to "dunk a deacon!" Enjoy activities such as: softball, volleyball, water balloon toss, and three legged races. Relax with a sno-cone or cotton candy as you "shoot the breeze" with a friend. Our annual picnic is a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon!

UPWARD SOCCER (Sign Ups thru Aug. 14/Games begin Sept 9)
Upward Soccer is a values based soccer program for children, age 4 - grade 6. Children will learn soccer skills, develop championship character, and have fun!

OCTOBERFEST (Oct 28-grade 6-8 & Oct 29-grade 9-12)
Students, grades 6-12, enjoy an evening of outrageous entertainment! Whether it is: a frightening walk through the dark woods, an eerie hayride, bon fire, or a western theme with country line "stomping" and western square "movement," the fun never ends! The food is great, the fun is wholesome, and most importantly the gospel is clearly presented.

CHRISTMAS PAGEANT (Dec 23rd & 24th at 6:00pm)
The celebration of the birth of our Lord is beautifully presented through this annual musical drama. The New Life Drama Team will make you feel like you have returned to Bethlehem of old. The New Life Choir will make you feel like you are in the presence of the host of angels that announced the birth of our Lord. The New Life Christmas Pageant has literally become the highlight of the holiday season for our community. (Luke 2:11)
