Jim is a retired coal miner.  He came from a copper mine in AZ in 1978 and worked at Jacob's Ranch Mine until his retirement.  June was born in SD and came to WY to teach elementary school before she retired. We've lived in Gillette for 40 years and have been part of New Life Wesleyan Church for "ages".  We met at this church and got married in 1988. We so enjoyed the Empty Nesters Life Group we were in and we saw a need for expansion for that age group in our growing church.  We welcome couples (or singles) to our group to grow together caring, sharing, exploring God's word, and experiencing His love in a close relationship.

Sign Up - Recovery Life Group


CHILDCARE PROVIDED

Michelle and I have had the privilege of leading this group for the past 2 years and get new members every semester. We would love to INVITE people who are struggling with addiction and have a hard time with attending 12 step meetings. Some weeks we get deep in discussion on the Bible and others we just allow people to vent and process struggles going on in their life. I am an addict in recovery and believe having a relationship with the Lord has gotten me where I am today. If you would like an extended family and to get closer to the Lord then this is the place for you.

Sign Up - Womens Life Group Weds. 11 a.m.
This group is for you if you're a woman who loves life, but sometimes depression makes you feel like crawling under the covers and not coming out for a week. Maybe others see you as healthy and fit, but often you feel "too fat or too skinny." It could be that you're a great mom, but you believe too often that you're a horrible one. If any of those resonate with you, join us! This group is for women who feel they are "not ________ enough." (Fill in your space) The truth is that we are all created for a great purpose and we're amazing, even if we don't feel or believe it sometimes!

FULL GROUP AS OF 2/12/19
My name is Denise Smith and I am married to Terry Smith. We have been a part of New Life for several years and have been involved with Life groups for about 3 years leading the Blended family group. Recently I have felt God leading me in another direction so Terry and I decided to put our group on hold so I can reach out to women who are wanting to grow in their faith.
My name is Julie Smith. I am married to Mike Smith. We have attended New Life church for about 10 years. Mike and I have led a couple's life group for about 7 years, and continue to do so. I had been praying about having more fellowship with other ladies, so I have joined with Denise to start a ladies group for all women, in all walks of life.

Sign Up - Working Women Life Group
CHILDCARE PROVIDED
My philosophy is as women we should lift each other up, cheer each other on and build a network of support. Often times we get so focused on work and home life that we fail to foster friendships. This group will give us a chance to connect with other working women to grow in our faith, support each other and meet some amazing new people. Yes, joining a Life Group can be scary but it can also be exactly what you are missing!! See you soon 🙂
