Sunday Worship Experience

Our Sunday worship experience starts with celebration. We make music to please God and to build others up. (Colossians 3:16) says, “Sing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs to God with thankful hearts.” For us, that is what making music is all about. We sing to bring glory and honor to God and celebrate who He is and what He is doing in our church! Our Adult Worship Experience starts every Sunday morning at 11 a.m. in Room 45.

Newsong Deaf Church 11 a.m. Sunday Mornings

That is right. We are happy to announce that we now have an adult ASL worship experience for the deaf and hearing impaired in our community! The singing, the message and the fellowship are all in American Sign Language and designed to help you connect with God in your own language! Our Adult Deaf Worship Experience starts every Sunday morning at 11 a.m. in Room 38

Kidsong

Kids are important to us, so we have created a place where they can learn about Jesus on their level. Every Sunday, pre-k through sixth-grade children experience safe, age-appropriate environments where the Bible is taught in a creative and relevant way. Kidsong starts every Sunday morning at 11 a.m. in Room 49.

Newsong Church Youth

NSCY is Newsong’s student ministry. Today’s middle and high school students will lead the next generation of the church and change the world. At NSCY, our goal is to graduate students into a lifetime of following Jesus. NSCY meets every Friday evening at 7:30 p.m. in Room 38.

Scripture: (Colossians 3:12-17) “Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, put on tender mercies, kindness, humility; meekness, longsuffering; bearing with one another, and forgiving one another, if anyone has a complaint against another, even as Christ forgave you, so you also must do. But above all things put on love, which is the bond of perfection. And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.”

Save the dates: open to all.

Please keep each other in prayer and be wise in your decisions. Please continue to mask-up, practice social distancing and stay safe!

We seek to meet the spiritual and physical needs of the church through ministry.

While leading bleating sheep along the backside of the desert, and after arriving at Mount Horeb, Moses witnessed an amazing sight, a burning bush that was bush commanding him to remove his sandals for he was standing on holy ground. There, God revealed himself to Moses and gave him the command to go and tell Pharaoh to let my people go. The Hebrew children had been reduced to slavery in a foreign nation. A loving compassionate God delivered them by raising up a miracle man in Moses. God providentially rescued Moses from certain death as an infant, allowed him to be raised in the Egyptians palace where he received proper nursing care and later received education. However, Moses had to leave Egypt and spend several years in the wilderness caring for his father in law’s sheep. Then, God called him and prepared him with a miraculous ministry, (Exodus 6:13) “And the Lord spoke unto Moses and unto Aaron and gave them a charge unto the children of Israel, and unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, to bring the children of Israel out the land of Egypt.”

(Exodus 6:30) “And Moses said before the Lord,

If Not Now, When?

Too many of us are putting off doing necessary and appropriate things for our spiritual, mental, and physical well-being. We say, “I will do it tomorrow. But one day, there will be no more tomorrows. When will you take responsibility for yourself?

Exodus 8:8 Pharaoh summoned Moses and Aaron and said, “Pray to the Lord to take the frogs away from me and my people, and I will let your people go to 9 Moses said to Pharaoh, “I leave to you the honor that you and your houses may be rid of the frogs, except for those that remain in the Nile.” 10 “Tomorrow,” Pharaoh said.

Even though he was suffering and so were the Egyptians, Pharaoh opted to let another day pass, although he was given the opportunity for instant relief. In the same way, we often know how to improve our lives yet become hardhearted and suffer needlessly.

Hebrews 3:12 See to it, brothers, and sisters, that none of you has a sinful, unbelieving heart that turns away from the living God. 13 Encourage one another daily, as long as it is called “Today,” so that none of you may be hardened by sin’s deceitfulness. 19 So we see that they were not able to enter because of their unbelief.

Our unbelief in God’s ability to take us beyond our present circumstances weakens us into a low level of mediocrity, and we become comfortable within it.

Behold, I am of uncircumcised lips, and how shall Pharaoh hearken unto me?”

God sent Moses to Pharaoh to secure the release of the Israelite slaves, obstinately refusing to comply with Moses’s request, Pharaoh saw his kingdom ruined around him by God’s judgments. After ordered the Hebrews to leave. However, he pursued them, and his army was destroyed in the red sea. Today, God still hears our cry for help, and He knows our emotional and physical pain.
