blessing tim & Marlene


On January 4, 2026, after 30 years of faithful and dedicated service, Pastor Tim will be stepping aside from the role of Senior Pastor and will be taking on the role of Teaching Pastor.  We are eternally grateful for everything he and his wife Marlene have done for New Life over the last few decades, and we want to encourage and bless them as they begin this new season.  There are several ways that you can join us in blessing them.  Read below to see how you can be involved!





HOW YOU CAN HELP:

Letters & Cards

We are collecting letters & cards for Tim & Marlene, and will be compiling them into a nice keepsake book for them to enjoy looking through over the years.  If you would like to write them a letter, please bring it to the Connection Center or the Reception Desk by Sunday, December 14th!  If you are unable to bring or mail a letter but would still like to contribute something, please email your letter to Ruth Hoehler, and it will be included.

Monetary gift

We would love to bless Tim & Marlene with a generous monetary gift as a way to thank them for their years of service.  If you would like to contribute, you may give online, place your gift in the offering, or bring your gift to the church office during the week.  When giving online or placing your gift in the offering, please notate the fund "Gift to Bless Tim & Marlene Parish."  CLICK HERE to give online.

church luncheon

On January 4th, we will be having a church-wide luncheon following worship.  This luncheon will be both a time of blessing for Tim & Marlene, as well as a time of celebration for Kevin & Becky Woo, for Kevin's installment as Senior Pastor.  We hope that you will plan to join us as we take time to celebrate together as a church and reflect on ALL that God has done!
