Good evening Church!

Patti and I are back home after a vacation to the Midwest. Thank you for sharing some of the excessive heat days with us since we’ve been back, since we missed some of them while we were gone. (Sorry for my bad sense of humor!) Truly, I am praying for an end to this severe heat1

This week, we jumped into a Summer Camp called “School of Worship” designed and led by Alex, Patti and Annie. Some of the youth will join us at the 10:30 service on Sunday. Reminder: there is a 9:00 am service this Sunday! We are also preparing for staff training, the beginning of a new school year and a time of renewal for our church!

Sunday August 6^th I am inviting you to join us for a “Day of Prayer and Fasting!” There is a sign up for you if you are willing to pray with us for one hour (click here to sign up). Remember to join us for worship that day as well – we will be commissioning the Preschool teachers and staff at that service.

“Why are we fasting?”

Let me try to explain I believe that when we dedicate time to fast and pray, we come in humility before God so the Holy Spirit can stir us up, awaken our churches, and provide healing and reconciliation to a broken world.  Specifically, we are praying for the following: 1) for New Covenant to experience an awakening of God’s presence, love, and grace for the world, 2) for five new families who have been apart from God to seek a discipled life for their family, by becoming involved at New Covenant and 3) for three new missional communities to develop over the next year. We are inviting you to join us for this day of Prayer and Fasting, asking God to provide New Covenant with spiritual renewal as we begin a new school year.

'While they were worshiping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, “Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them.” So, after they had fasted and prayed, they placed their hands on them and sent them off.’ (Acts 13:23)

In Christ’s Power Alone!
