Visit from Andy Hanson

This week, Rev. Andy Hanson will visit New Life here in central Iowa.  Andy is the prison pastor of Celebration Fellowship in Ionia, Michigan.  Andy is the 2nd pastor of Celebration Fellowship, taking the reigns from Rev. Rich Rienstra, the founding pastor of the prison congregation.  Andy will have a full week with us here in Newton.  We'll be spending loads of time in prison!  Tuesday is the prayer group.  Wednesday brings the baptism class.  Thursday finds us at the Bible study group.  Sunday morning we'll be leading worship at the Correctional Release Center.  It should be a great week!  Andy and I got to know each other on a Calvin Seminary trip to Angola Prison in Louisiana.  See pic below...
