Welcome to New Covenant

Welcome to the blogspot of New Covenant United Methodist Church.
New Covenant is a small but active church where we are working to live God's word through worship, prayer, study and service.  As the people of God we gather every Sunday at 10:30 a.m. for prayer, praise and worship.  To help you get a deeper sense of who we are, here are some frequently asked questions:

Q: If I visit New Covenant will I have to pray out loud?
No. We pray every week during our worship service. However, during our worship the work of public prayer is given to specific leaders in our congregation. If you come to worship with us at New Covenant we will certainly pray, but you will not be asked to pray out loud.

Q: If I visit New Covenant will I have to talk to strangers?
Yes. New Covenant is a friendly church. We make it a point to welcome all visitors in Christian love. This means that if you visit our church people will definitely come and greet you. We regard this hospitality as a gift and we hope you will receive it as such.

Q: How would you describe your worship style?
We have two worship services. Both of our worship services are informal and free flowing. Our 10:30 a.m. service is a more traditional and structured service using the United Methodist Hymnal and other forms of traditional worship such as the Apostles Creed. We also have a 6 p.m. worship service which uses more contemporary worship music and is very informal.

Q: What if I’m running late?
Our worship life at New Covenant is led by the Holy Spirit not the clock. We welcome all people to come to worship at any time. In fact we leave the back row open just for people who need to slip in a little late. If you are running late we encourage you to come on in anyway.

Q: Will I be asked to give money?
Like all communities, from a family to a nation, the church needs money to run. An important part of church membership is supporting the work of the church through our givigin. Accordingly, every week we take up an offering from the Church membership. Visitors are not expected to give money to New Covenant.

Q: If I visit New Covenant, does it matter where I sit?
As a visitor to New Covenant you are welcome to sit wherever you like.

Q: Is there child care at New Covenant?
At this time we do not have regular child care during our worship services.
Q: Will I be welcome at New Covenant?
All people are welcome to worship at New Covenant. The church is open to people of all ages, races, nations and lifestyles. If you are seeking God, you are welcome at New Covenant.

Q: Why should I visit New Covenant?
At New Covenant we are striving to live God’s word through service, worship, study and prayer. We do this through a small but active community of mutual love and support. If you are seeking friends in the faith and a deeper relationship with God, you should definitely come and visit us at New Covenant.
