Last night we entered into the story of Jesus’ last supper with his friends. If you missed the Maundy Thursday service, click the video to watch it.
Tonight we continue our walk with Jesus to the cross at our 6PM Good Friday service in person and on Livestream. This candlelit service will include original artwork and beautiful prayers.
This Sunday we celebrate the Good News of Easter outdoors together. The 9AM service is contemporary and the 11AM service is spirited traditional. We will sing, adorn a cross with fresh cut flowers, and share in Holy Communion. Everyone who attends in person will receive a surprise gift from our church. The services will also be streamed live on Facebook. At the conclusion of the 9AM service, all the children of the church are invited to an Easter egg hunt.
What a gift it is to worship together as a vibrant community of faith. Remember, if you miss a service, you can view them all on Youtube. We look forward to seeing many of you this evening and on Sunday.
Blessings on the Journey,
Pastors Cecilia & Jameson

Kick-off to Reach Out Campaign
Help New Creation continue and improve our online services by donating to the Reach Out campaign. We are seeking to raise $8,000 to upgrade the technology we need to provide an enhanced service for those worshipping remotely due to illness, travel, or Sunday morning work schedules. We have gained viewers, donors and members through online services this past year. Homebound and remote members have been able to more fully participate in services, children’s programs, and faith development activities as a result of being online. Please contribute what you can to help New Creation grow and be part of lives- No matter where you are journeying. Please use the Facebook fundraiser on-line, drop it into the plate while at service, or mail it in. Be sure to mark the envelope or check Reach Out.

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.
