Real Lives @ RLC
Nate and Kelly Cote (pronounced “Co-TAY”) have been attending Real Life Church for about a year and were married on July 7, 2006.
A lot has come across Nate and Kelly’s path in recent months, including a cancer scare with Nate’s dad. Kelly remembers, “When we found out that Nate’s dad had cancer, it seemed like he was going to die.”
After a time of prayer, Kelly felt a “release” and sensed from the Lord that Nate’s dad was going to be OK.
And after a successful operation to remove all the cancer, he is OK!
Kelly says, “Did God speak to me? I’m afraid to claim He did, but I do believe that God healed Nate’s dad.”
Through it all, Nate says that God is teaching him about letting go of control and giving everything to God...finances, school, the future.
Nate likes to plan ahead. In fact, when he was 16, he had a five year plan for his life...which included his marriage to Kelly (which happened, but not exactly as planned)!
But lately, Nate says he’s “learning and seeing how God really provides what you need. God really has provided for us. We are blessed.”

2009 men’s winter camping expedition
On January 30-February 1, a few brave men will trek into the Boundary Water Canoe Area for a
little adventure, solitude, and snow-bound fun. If you are interested in joining the crew for this
year's expedition, there will be an informational meeting held at 11:45 after today's service down
at R.L. Bean Coffee Cafe (East end of the church), hosted by Mark Kingsriter. Spots are limited
for these trips! Bring your questions, concerns, and spirit of adventure to the meeting today.
Please note, while winter reed basket weaving will probably not be one of the field classes this

Real People, Real Life, Real Faith.
What are Real Life Church LIFE Groups? They are communities of real people doing life together based on felt needs or common interests. They may take the form of a Bible Study or simply some friends meeting for coffee. Whatever the format, we believe there is a place for YOU in one of our Life Groups as you journey through this adventure called life.
