General Announcement
Marriage in Motion Schedule Change
Our Marriage Seminar has been postponed indefinitely for now. We apologize for any inconvenience! Please check back for future rescheduling.
Experience the Journey to the Cross
Join us on April 3 and spend some time better understanding what Jesus went through during His last few hours before the cross! Travel from station to station, surrounding yourself with sights and sounds of what took place two thousand years ago! Spend some time on Good Friday – the day we set aside to remember the death of our Savior – pausing and truly focusing on the sacrifice of Jesus! Join us and Experience the Journey to the Cross! Families are welcome!
Please sign-up at: http://www.SignUpGenius.com/go/20F0B4EA5AB2AA5F85-experience/ and let us know a 30-minute window when you will come (you can come any time during that 30 minutes). The entire experience will take about half an hour. This free event runs between 6 and 7:30pm. We would love sign-ups, but walk-ups will not be turned away!
Marriage in Motion: Growing Together in Christ
Come Friday, April 17 and Saturday, April 18 for a retreat designed to help your marriage grow! Whether your marriage is strong or whether it could use a little work, this is for you! Friday evening there will be a time to have dinner together – just as a couple! There will also be a Friday evening session, and then you can come back Saturday for two more sessions and a question-and-answer time with a small panel of couples. The focus will be on having a healthy cycle of love and respect in your marriage, and on how to grow together towards Christ!
The retreat will be Friday 5:30-7:30pm, and Saturday 9-noon. Cost is $30, which includes childcare, a light continental breakfast on Saturday and the Friday dinner (please bring kids already fed). Sign up at: http://www.SignUpGenius.com/go/20F0B4EA5AB2AA5F85-marriage/
Welcome!
Welcome to our website. Please feel free to look around and learn about us! We have some great things going on, and would love to have you stop by our church for a visit soon!
Christmas Eve
Join us on December 24 at 6:30PM for a candlelight Christmas Eve Service! We will have a time of worship, a short message and communion.
Upcoming Events
Coming this Sunday is our annual kid’s Christmas production! Performed during service, this short drama is a cute re-enactment of the story of Jesus’ birth. Join us for the performance, and then stay after church for the pot-luck lunch!
December 21 at 5:30, we will have a fun evening of Christmas caroling to some of our fellow church members. If you would like to participate, contact the office or check Sunday’s bulletin for more info!
One Sermon Under the Belt
We are already approaching the second Sunday with our new pastor!
Our first week in the office as a staff went smoothly as did Sunday Worship! As was stated earlier there will be changes coming but for now we are very excited to see where God is leading us to go under the direction of Pastor Reed! Come by Sunday and visit with us! Worship begins at 10:45AM.
Faith Promise
Sunday, October 5th was our annual Faith Promise Sunday. Faith Promise is when we prayerfully consider what God would like us to give on top of our regular tithing. This money goes to missions, around Newport and overseas. Our church has always been a very giving church and has given well above the average percentages, but this year went far above what we have previously pledged. As of Sunday the 5th the church has pledged $25,020.00 for the 2014-2015 year! What an incredible amount, again you have gone above and beyond and showed your heart! What a blessing it is to be a part of this congregation and having such a giving caring spirit. We look forward to this coming year and the blessings that will be giving because of you! Thank you everyone! (There will be one last week to pledge next Sunday October 16th!)
Change is Coming!
As October approaches it brings with it change to Newport Christian. Some may have noticed that we have shortened our name. We are now going by Newport Christian instead of First Christian Church of Newport. This change was approved along with the updating of our church bylaws early in September. We would like to share with you now our new logo!
Now that we have new bylaws, a new name and a fresh logo, what else would we need…Oh right a pastor! We are very excited that Reed Adams and his family will be joining our church as pastoral staff the week of October 13, with his first preaching Sunday, October 19th!
Now, if you thought that was a lot of change don’t worry there will be much more ahead of us. We are excited to see the change and growth that our church has gone through these past months (growth is not always in numbers), are you ready to join us to see where the next months take us. It has not all been easy, and change may not come quickly, but it is out there and we need to be ready and open for what is in store for our church. Remember to check out or Facebook page for any current updates! Please join us this Sunday for worship at 10:45, with Bible Classes at 9:30.
