Good evening friends and Merry Christmas!  

 

As the Kindergarteners reminded us in the Christmas program, “on the 12th day of Christmas my true love gave to me…” Yes, there are 12 days of Christmas. I hope that you and your family are having a wonderful Christmas and New Year celebration! Remember that you can purchase a copy of the Daily Texts for your daily devotions in 2025 in the church office.  

 

We want to welcome our newest staff member, Susan Komnick to New Covenant. She will be serving as our church office administrator and bookkeeper. Susan will begin work on Monday, January 6. Stop into the office and introduce yourself to her.  

 

Here are some dates I want you to remember. We will host a Membership Class on Sunday, January 12 from 4pm – 8pm. If you have thought about becoming a member or if you have any questions about what membership means, this would be a good time to learn more.  

 

Our next Baptism Class will be on Sunday, February 2 after worship. This is open to all who would like to schedule a baptism or if you have questions about our theology of baptism, this is an opportunity to hear more of what we believe.  

 

Alex and I will begin teaching our Discipleship Training in the New Year. If you have an interest in learning more about a Jesus-shaped lifestyle, please visit with us or send us an email. We believe that this training can transform lives, so prayerfully consider participating.
