Hello everyone and Happy Friday!
Check out this weeks announcements and sign up for the church newsletter so we can get more information to you as well. God Bless you all in this week and we pray that God would bless you, keep you, make his face to shine upon you and give you peace!
Join us for worship at 12:10p on Sunday on our YouTube channel. This week Pastor Josh Wilson will be preaching. Josh and his wife Danielle teach at the Geneva School of Manhattan. Their three children also attend. Josh loves preaching from the Old Testament. He was a pastor for seven years in Michigan, and has taught English for the past seven years. His favorite hobby is golfing, and his goal is to have a son or daughter that will someday beat him in a round. But he doubts that will ever happen.
Also, after church we will be having fellowship time in in ‘the lobby’ (a zoom chat room) so please come after the service and say hello. Find the Zoom link on the live chat on youtube and our Facebook page.
New sermon series on the book of Jonah. Resuming next week when Pastor Chris returns.

Newtown’s Youth and College Group (YCG) is looking for leaders to intentionally invest in our church's high school and college students! YCG meets every Friday at 7:30pm and consists of about 25 regular students total.
