This Sunday: 

"Children of the Resurrection"

Luke 20:27-38

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

Good afternoon church!

We are doing something different this year! On Commitment Sunday, (November 13) we will ask you to make a commitment to the General Fund and to the Building fund – still two different funds. The difference is that we are combining the request into one, rather than asking you for a general fund commitment now and a building fund commitment in March/April.

On November 13, the Board of Ministry will ask you to make a commitment of your giving to New Covenant for the calendar year of 2023. There will be two lines to fill in, one for the general fund and one for the building fund if you choose to make a commitment to both funds. This means that the Board will close out the Building Fund commitments for March 2022 – March 2023, at the end of this fiscal year, December 31,2022. If you have made a commitment for the 2022 Building fund, could you make that gift to the church before the end of this year?

This change will simplify our stewardship process and it will enable the board to present an honest financial plan for the annual meeting at that end of January. We thank you for your past support and we ask you to prayerfully consider how you can support out ministries for 2023.

I hope that if you were not with us in person last Sunday, that you are able to watch on our new YouTube channel, as five of our youth confirm their Christian faith. You can always watch it on our Facebook page as well. Confirmation begins with baptism, and I am excited to share that we have several baptisms scheduled for the month of November. You are going to want to see these as well!

This Sunday is All Saints Sunday, and we will be praying for all Christians, who are Saints and Sinners, at the same time. But we will also remember those who have gone before us and now live in the Resurrection as “Saints of God”. Join me this Sunday as we look at Luke 20:27-38 and focus on the theme that we are “Children of the Resurrection.”
