New Sermon Series
Reverberations:
Experiencing The Holiness of God
The whole world reverberates with the glorious holiness of God – the perfect goodness, beauty and truth of God that makes him, well, God. What happens when rebellious, imperfect humans encounter that holiness? The very nature of God reverberates through us. We experience the essence of who God is; we experience the declaration of Exodus 34:6-7 that Yahweh is compassionate, gracious, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness; forgiving sin but who does not let the guilty go unpunished. In this sermon series we look at how those eternal characteristics are found throughout God’s relationship with his people in the Hebrew scriptures. READ MORE HERE

Thank you all of the snacks and everything, on behalf of the international students here currently in Longview, we really appreciate everything that you and your church have done for us! From Jordan C.,
LETU student worker
What a blessing you are!
Thanks to you our church was able to donate $2600.00 to Buckner Family Services for their Family Christmas! This went to purchase Curiosity Boxes - age appropriate for each child as well as gift cards for their family and Advent Calendars for each family! Even thought this was "different" this year from their Christmas Store because of Covid-19, it was a very successful and generous opportunity for these families.
Dear Friends of Newgate...Your gift and continued support will allow us to continue serving the rapidly increasing number of meals needed each day, and we thank you on behalf of each of these individuals you are feeding. YOU ARE MAKING A DIFFERENCE. Thank you for being a blessing to us all. Kristi Bogle-Sherman, Interim Executive Director
