More Than a Concert — An American Story Worth Singing

Sunday, June 28 at 5 PM in the Christian Life Center

What does it mean to be American — and how do we celebrate 250 years of a nation still growing, striving, and singing forward together?

Join New Covenant’s Chancel Choir, instrumentalists, and guest soloists for a powerful and uplifting evening of music, storytelling, and reflection at Celebrate America 2026 — a concert experience unlike any other in our community.

Hosted by Angie Rose and Sean Pollock, this special event weaves together beloved patriotic music, spirituals, Broadway favorites, and moving narrations that honor both the promise and the ongoing journey of America.

Featuring music ranging from The Star-Spangled Banner and God Bless America to moving selections including Give Me Your Tired, Your Poor, Lady Liberty, and I Hear America Singing, this inspiring evening celebrates the voices, sacrifices, hopes, and dreams that continue to shape our nation.

Come experience an evening of hope, gratitude, unity, and song as we celebrate the story we are still singing together.

No ticket required. A Love Offering will benefit the Backpacks4Kids Ministry.

Last Call for New Mentors

New Covenant’s Mentor Program annually has around 35 Mentors working with Mentees from ninth to twelfth grade, primarily at Wildwood Middle High School.

Our current Mentors “move up” with their Mentees each year, but because of how popular the program continues to be, we have more students who are asking for Mentors. Each year, we recruit adults who have a heart for teenagers and a sincere desire to provide love, patience, guidance, and support over a period of four years as the Mentee journeys from ninth grade through graduation.

If God is leading you to this special program and you would like more information, please use the button below to contact Anne Foote Hill, Director of Administration. Deadline to apply is Wednesday, July 15.

“Common Ground” Bible Study by Amberly Neese

Each Monday in July (6 - 27) from 4:30 PM - 6 PM in Classroom 3

Whether it is in politics, the professional world, a party, or a pew, we face conflict every day. As discussions get more heated and social media is deluged with opinion-spewing, hurt feelings, and broken relationships, we need hope and practical tools to navigate the tumultuous waters and live at peace with everyone. Fortunately, the Scriptures hold the key to living at peace despite our differences. In “Common Ground,” a four-week Bible study, Amberly Neese combines stories of sibling rivalries from the Bible with personal experience, humor, hope, and her love of God’s Word. Facilitated by Dana Osmanski.

Stories examined from the Old and New Testaments include:

• Joseph and His Brothers: How to Combat Jealousy
• Moses, Miriam, and Aaron: How to Work Together Despite Differences
• Mary, Martha, and Lazarus: How to Appreciate the Contributions of Others
• Rachel and Leah: Having Compassion for the Plight of Others

These stories point us to peace and reconciliation in all our relationships, reassuring us that it is possible to find common ground with everyone―despite our differences.

You will find Biblical and practical help for:

• Facing conflict
• Navigating broken relationships
• Handling heated discussions (in person and on social media)
• Living at peace despite differences

Registration is required. For more information, please contact Pat Hill, Care Coordinator - Discipleship. All are welcome!

Bargains & Blessings Volunteers Needed

Your help is needed for a few hours a month at Bargains & Blessings Resale Store in downtown Wildwood. During the summer months, the store loses about 40 percent of its volunteers. Many of them are seasonal who travel home during this time of year. We would love to have you join us in the following areas: the Boutique, Intake, Family Outreach, the Main Store, the Annex, or as a scheduler for pickups and deliveries. 

Volunteers are also needed for one hour every other month when the Bargains & Blessings truck is on the church campus to meet and greet those who have donations. This amounts to only six times per year, and no heavy lifting is involved.

If you are interested in volunteering, please contact Janine Rogers, Director of Missions and Outreach.
