Well we are pretty close to the big day. Christmas is almost here. Join us Christmas Eve at 9:15pm and 10:30pm for our celebration services. Hope to see you there.

Been just a little while since last post. I was on vacation with my wife. Had a wonderful time.

It was great to come back to church and see the place looking like Christmas. I don't really get into the gift buying and all the hoopla that goes with it. Our family usually spends a small amount on gift cards for the kids and then just enjoy spending time with the family.

I hope that each of you take some time this holiday to truly enjoy who is around you. They will not be around forever.

We will have Christmas Eve services at 9:00pm and 10:15pm. Bring the kids in their pj's and come have a inspirational time as we sing and celebrate our Savior's birth.

Christmas Ladies Night Out is this Friday starting at 6pm. You can still purchase a ticket by calling the church office. 721.2300

Have a great week!!

Lots of things going on around us during the holidays always makes me look for that one spot that I can go to and be still. Thanksgiving and Christmas seem to be so busy for people. It makes my head spin. Hard to sleep. Wake up thinking that I forgot something. Whew.....

I am so glad to be able to stop sometimes and just be still. Look for that place today. Listen to the voice of the Holy Spirit!!!

Bedlam Blood Drive is this Sunday. Don't forget to bring your driver's license to check in. It will be located in the gym.

Thanksgiving is next Thursday. The church office will be closed the last half of the day on Wednesday the 25th.

Christmas Decoration night is on the 2nd of December. Just be at the church at 6:30pm ready to decorate.

Talk to you soon.

Ladies, there is a potluck dinner for you this Thursday evening at 6:30pm in the cafe.

Thanksgiving is just around the corner. Join us on the 15th of this month for a great time of fellowship and community as we break bread together. It will begin at 6pm down in our Cafe area or Watermark as we call it. Bring what ever your family likes to eat and enjoy what everyone else brings as well.

Hope each of you have a great day!

Rain Again! Looks like we may be mowing until Thanksgiving.

Hope that you are having a great week. I enjoyed a week of vacation last week. I just spent it working around the house and playing with kids. What fun!

Trunk or Treat is this Sunday October 25th from 3pm-5pm. Lots of games for the kids and food for everyone. Hot dogs, cotton candy and popcorn. We will have it in the back parking lot so invite your neighbors and family to come with you. I'll be doing a booth called "Guess Your Speed". We will have a radar gun and some baseballs ready for youngsters to guess how fast they can throw the ball. It will be fun.

Small groups are going great. Hopefully you have plugged into one on a Sunday or Wednesday. They really are great place to fellowship and learn about God's word together.

Hope to see you Sunday!

Thank you all who brought clothing to the Newchurch Clothing Exchange. We had over 250 people from our community come in to receive free clothes. It is a wonderful opportunity for our church to reach out. Great Job Newchurch!

Remember that our parking lot is now open around the south side of the church. Both roads on each side of the church are two way so you don't have to worry which one you enter in.

Don't forget about "Trunk or Treat" on the 25th of this month. It will be another great time of community outreach.

Hope each of you has a blessed week!

Had a great friend spend the night with us the other night. He is a pastor from Jinga Uganda. He also visited with our young adult group at our home. It was a great time of prayer and fellowship.

Clothing exchange went very well Friday and today. Over 200 visited on Friday alone.

So far no sickness in my home. Hopefully not yours either. Wash your hands. Alot!!!
