This Sunday we celebrate New Member Sunday. Join us as we welcome 14 new adult members (with 11 young children!) into the life of our church. During worship, we will share some "fun facts" and photos to help you get to know the new members and welcome them into our faith family. We will continue our "Learning to Walk in the Dark" Lenten series. Join us for virtual worship at 10 a.m. on Facebook and Youtube. You won't want to miss this joyous occasion!
On the journey with you,
Pastors Cecilia & Jameson

The Reopening Taskforce is recommending that New Creation reopen for in-person worship soon, following the same COVID protocols that they set in place in the fall. In order to set the date to reopen, we need your help! Volunteers are needed each Sunday to check in guests on iPads, take their temperatures, and usher them to/from their seats.

Due to The Backpack Project receiving such an overwhelming amount of donations during the past few months, New Creation will no longer be collecting assorted non-perishables. Instead we will be supporting the local Easton Food Pantry through ProJeCt of Easton by collecting ONLY tuna fish. Put the tuna in the plastic tub under the portico so that it may be delivered to the Pantry once a month.
Our congregation is always so generous. Thanks for supporting this organization that aids families in need in the Easton area.

In the midst of the pandemic, some of our church members have been laid off from their jobs, furloughed and had other extenuating circumstances. If you have fallen on hard times, we have church members who stand ready to lend a helping hand. Please email the pastors if you are in need of assistance, and your request will be kept confidential.
