This Sunday's Theme:

"Lukewarm"

Revelation 3:14-22

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

NO 9:00 AM Service

Good afternoon friends!

First of all, I want to remind you that we are taking a break from our Fourth Sundays in May, June and July. We will be back in August from our summer break. So, there will be no 9:00 am service nor will we have a “Family Service” during these summer months. I apologize for the inconvenience, but we will still be gathering for worship at 10:30 am. At the end of August, we will return with both our traditional and Family Services on the fourth Sunday.

Believe it or not, we have also come to the end of the 2023-2024 school year! We had a full sanctuary for our closing Family Chapel on Tuesday morning. The children sang their hearts out and learned about how “Jesus is the Light of the World”. Yesterday, was the last day of school so we hosted a picnic lunch for all the families. It is always such a joy to interact with so many young families and to see them having such a festive time. New Covenant is a blessing to this community and our mission is thriving! Thank you for your commitment and support for our mission at New Covenant.

This Monday is Memorial Day Weekend. May the families of all the service men and women who have given their lives for the sake of our freedom, on behalf of our nation, be comforted on this weekend as we remember and give thanks for their lives and their sacrifice.

This Sunday, join us as we finish our series on “The Seven Churches.” We will look at the theme “Lukewarm” as we focus on the church in Laodicea in Revelation 3: 14-22. I hope that you will join us at 10:30 am this Sunday!

Blessed Memorial Day Weekend to you all!
