Enough



We had a great Membership Weekend with 39 people attending. It's so much fun sharing New Covenant's history, mission, vision and values with this group of people. You can click on the picture above to see photos of all who attended.

What an incredible experience to read through all their testimonies. Journeys through broken marriages, profound loneliness, addiction, purposelessness, loss of a spouse, despair, fear, and shattered dreams. And in the middle of their brokenness, finding Jesus Christ to be enough.

Over the course of the weekend, we ask each prospective member to make three commitments - commitment to Christ, to community and to contribute. When I asked for a show of hands regarding how many people are already part of an Adult Bible Fellowship or small group, almost every hand in the room went up! And many are already serving in some capacity. Many others filled out a ministry brochure as a first step in finding a place to serve.

It's a joy to be able to serve here at New Covenant. God is doing a work in the lives of people. He is transforming broken lives and making them whole. He is building His church. We have the privilege of getting to co-labor with Him. He is enough!
