Hi Newport Church Family,
We trust you had a hope and faith filled week!
We are very excited to be holding our Summer Worship and Communion Nightin the parking lot outside our building this evening from 6pm-7pm.
We would love to have as many of you who are able to be with us, join us for this significant moment and time together as a church.
Let’s do everything we can to not only be there ourselves, but to invite our family and friends.
It’s hard to believe but it has been 5 months since we last met in our churchbuilding! At the beginning of this year none of us could have ever imagined the way that this year has turned out, but one thing we can be confident of is that God is never taken by surprise and He is always faithful.
God’s Grace for every Season
God’s word makes it clear that where problems and crises abound, there God’s grace abounds the more also!
Every season requires a special grace and when we ask Him, God will give us that special grace for every season.
In times of lack, uncertainty, turmoil and unrest we can ask God to give us that grace. Grace that makes a way where there is no way, grace that attracts resource, provision, favor, opportunity and causes us to prosper in all that we put our hand to.
Joseph knew God’s grace, and prospered in both adversity and favor. Daniel had a special grace on his life and influenced kings and nations. The early church knew great grace and changed our world.
Peter and James both remind us that the special grace that we need for this season will be ours in abundance as we draw closer to God.
Grace and peace be yours in abundance through the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord.
2 Pet 1:2 NIV
Draw near to God and He will draw near to you.
James 4:8
At the beginning of each new day let’s draw near to God and ask Him for that special grace, so that this season will not be defined by the adverse conditions we are facing but rather by the grace that God gives us and His abundant favor in every area of our lives.
We can be a Voice of Hope and Faith
Thank you for your faithfulness and generosity during this time. Your giving is making a difference and because of you we can continue to be a voice of hope and faith and a storehouse and resource to meet the natural and spiritual need all around us.

Praying for Healing, Spiritual Awakening and Unity
Alfred Tennyson said, “More things are wrought by prayer, than this world dreams of.”
Let’s keep praying that God will give us favor in this season, and turn back the tide of COVID-19 bringing healing, spiritual awakening and unity to our nation and world.
