This Sunday's Theme:

"Shine Jesus' Light!"

John 8:12

In-person and Live Stream to Facebook and YouTube at 10:30 AM

Good evening friends! 

Well, it has been a “Stellar” week of VBS at New Covenant! Even though it’s been extra hot, we are doing our best to avoid the heat with VBS this week. We are utilizing lots of ice-cold water for our VBS children and volunteer staff. I hope you are staying out of the heat. Thankfully, we are finishing at Noon so we can send the kids off before the afternoon heat hits. Please keep praying for a safe, fun, and faithful week. We have 125 children and 60 plus volunteer helpers.  

About half of those 60 helpers are youth and we are so grateful for each one of them! Alex has planned a fun “Thank You!” event for the youth this Friday night from 7:00 – 9:00 pm. There will be music, pizza, games, and lots of friendship development! If you are a New Covenant youth or if you have been helping at VBS, join us Friday night for this special Youth Event.   

This Sunday the VBS celebration continues as we gather for worship at 10:30 am. Annie will be preaching along with several of our high school aged youth leaders. I have heard a couple of the stories, and they are powerful! I hope that you will come and join the VBS party! 

Keep safe and we hope to see you soon!
