Welcome to New Covenant! We believe God is good all the time and we gather on Sundays to celebrate His goodness. We are really glad you have decided to join us today! If you are new to New Covenant be sure to visit our Welcome Centre in the lobby to receive a special gift and a brochure designed to answer some of the questions you are probably asking and to help you get the most out of your first few visits. This handout is our monthly communications brochure and is designed to make you aware of everything that is happening at NC. Feel free to participate in as much or as little as you are ready for. Our hope is that as you take the next step into the New Covenant community and get more involved, you will begin to see that NC is more than just a Sunday Morning celebration; it is a family of everyday people following Jesus together to bring hope and change to the world - one life at a time.
What are You Expecting from God in 2015?
Our Purpose:
God is good - All the time! That includes 2015. God wants to demonstrate His goodness to you this year. Do you believe that? Are you expecting and watching for God to be good to you this year?
Celebrating God’s goodness!
God wants to do something outrageously wonderful in your life this year. But you have to be waiting expectantly for it to happen.
Our Mission:
Isaiah 30:18 says it perfectly: “Therefore the Lord waits to be gracious to you; ... Blessed are all those who wait for Him, who expect and look and long for Him….” God is waiting to be good to you. He’s waiting for you to expect, look and long for His blessing in your life. God wants to be good to you, but He is waiting for you to be ready to receive it. Start believing and watching for God to do something good for you in 2015!
Helping one another to Encounter God, be Equipped by His Word, and Empowered by His Spirit to live a life that celebrates God.
Jesus is __ ______. How would you fill in the blank? Everyone has an opinion about who Jesus is. But maybe even more important than how you would fill in the blank is how Jesus would fill in the blank. In this series we will look at some of the ways Jesus described Himself, how He backed up those claims and what difference they make to you. Series begins Sunday, January 4, 2015
