Hi Newport Church Family,
We hope you are all doing well and in good health and spirit in the midst of these uncertain times.
We want to take a moment to communicate how the most recent government and health authorities’ precautionary measures are affecting the way we gather as a church community.
As a result of statements from Government and Orange County Health officials, we will continue to meet in our homes for Sunday “Church at Home” online. We will also be moving all of our midweek and small group meetings to online communication platforms such as Zoom or FaceTime. The leaders of your small groups will be reaching out to you with details on how to access these platforms.
Despite all of the uncertainty that the Coronavirus is creating, we have an awesome opportunity as a church community to be even more connected through online communication.
We also have the opportunity to invite the many people in our world, who are looking for hope and strength in these times, to join us for our Sunday Services at 10am or 6pm online.
The good news is that our reach and ability to help people can increase rather than diminish in these weeks if we all invite people to join us through the online platforms we have available! Our online connection will be even easier to access this week in the link at the bottom of this email. Join us at 10am or 6pm this Sunday!
We can also all be part of an online small group where we can encourage one another in our faith and process together, as we navigate these uncharted waters.
If you are not already a part of a small group and would like to be a part of an online group please email us, we would love to connect you to a group where you can be encouraged and grow in your faith.
I will also be posting some short messages of hope and faith on my instagram account as well as on our Newport Church instagram account.
If you have any questions, prayer requests or testimonies please share them with us at more@newportchurch.com so that we can be here for you, as well as encourage others with your stories of God’s faithfulness.
Let’s continue to pray that God will turn back the tide of this virus, protect us and our families, heal those who are sick and that we can be a light to our world in the midst of this season.
Don’t forget to invite everyone you can to join us online by sending them the link to our Sunday service: newportchurch.online.church
Look forward to seeing you online this Sunday at 10am!
We love and appreciate you all greatly,
Jonathan & Dianne Wilson
Senior Pastors
