1. SAY FAREWELL TO PASTOR CHRIS, KATHRYN, AND EBEN TODAY!

Pastor Chris, Kathryn and Eben's official last day at Newtown Church is this Sunday January 17. Let's join together to give them a proper send off!  There will be two opportunities for you to take part in TODAY and we encourage everyone to participate in both!

Individuals and families are welcome to come and say their farewells in person this Sunday after church.  The Koch's will be available outside of church in the church parking lot from 3:30 pm through 4:30 pm for anyone to come by and share their encouragement, prayers and well wishes.  This will not be a formal gathering or service but people will line up in a socially distanced manner and take turns saying their farewells.  Please remember to wear masks and stay at least 6 feet apart! 

In addition, there will be a final farewell zoom service at 7:30 pm.  This will be our chance to corporately celebrate the seven years of the Kochs' faithful service at Newtown as well as the relationships that they have built and nurtured over those years.  Join us for some fun, sharing, reminiscing, praying and a whole lotta love!

SONGS

O Come To The Altar

Verse 1
Are you hurting and broken within
Overwhelmed by the weight of your sin
Jesus is calling
Have you come to the end of yourself
Do you thirst for a drink from the well
Jesus is calling

Chorus
O come to the altar
The Father's arms are open wide
Forgiveness was bought with
The precious blood of Jesus Christ

Verse 2
Leave behind your regrets and mistakes
Come today there's no reason to wait
Jesus is calling
Bring your sorrows and trade them for joy
From the ashes a new life is born
Jesus is calling

Bridge
Oh what a Savior
Isn't he wonderful
Sing alleluia Christ is risen
Bow down before him
For he is Lord of all
Sing alleluia Christ is risen

Ending
Bear your cross as you wait for the crown
Tell the world of the treasure you've found

Holy

Verse
Holy holy God Almighty
Who was and is to come
God of glory You're so worthy
All the saints bow down

Chorus
Holy is Your name in all the earth
Righteous are Your ways so merciful
Everything You've done is just and true
Holy holy God are You
Holy holy God (are You)

Bridge
All blessing all honor belongs to You
All power all wisdom is Yours all blessing
All blessing all honor belongs to You
All power all wisdom is Yours

Goodness Of God

Verse 1
I love You Lord
Oh Your mercy never fails me
All my days
I've been held in Your hands
From the moment that I wake up
Until I lay my head
I will sing of the goodness of God

Chorus
All my life You have been faithful
All my life You have been so so good
With every breath that I am able
I will sing of the goodness of God

Verse 2
I love Your voice
You have led me through the fire
In darkest night
You are close like no other
I've known You as a father
I've known You as a friend
I have lived in the goodness of God

Bridge
Your goodness is running after
It’s running after me
Your goodness is running after
It’s running after me
With my life laid down
I’m surrendered now
I give You everything
Your goodness is running after
It's running after me
