Hi Newport Church Family,
We trust that you are keeping well and experiencing a fresh measure of grace for this season.
Outdoor Worship and Communion Tonight at 6.30pm!
We are very excited to be holding our second Summer Worship and Communion Night in the parking lot outside our building this evening from 6.30-7.30pm.
Our last event was our first gathering in five months and was a special time for all who were there.
We would love to have as many of you that are able to be with us, join us for this time of communion and worship together. You can click on this link for further details and to RSVP.
Let’s do everything we can to not only be there ourselves, but to invite our family and friends.
Vision 2020
At the end of last year we shared our vision initiatives for 2020, all of which are outlined in our Vision 2020 brochure.
At that time no one could have imagined the global impact of COVID-19 and many of the other challenging and significant events of this year.
The restrictions on the use of our building have affected many of our initiatives including our plan for a midweek coffee hub, which has had to be put on hold.
Overseas travel has not been possible either so our mission trip to Peru, which included the building of at least one home for a family in need has had to be postponed.
We have therefore needed to reassess all of our initiatives and direct our resources to areas that are both possible and most needful. In the coming weeks we will be sharing these with you.
Food with Love and Vision Rescue
In the meantime, we would like to highlight two of our initiatives. Food with Love has continued to provide much needed food for approximately 100 families every week. A big thank you to Rino Chantana and team and all of those who have faithfully given their time, energy and finance to make this possible.
In addition, our partnership with Vision Rescue in India through our financial support provides food, education, health care and life skills that bring hope and faith every day of the year to a class of 20 children amongst the poorest in Mumbai.
Thank you to all those who have partnered with us in these initiatives. If you would like to help our Food with Love team you can do so by clicking on this link and we will give you further information.
Or if you would like make a donation to either of the above ministries you can do so by clicking on this link.
Prayer for our Nation
Charles Spurgeon said: “Prayer is the slender nerve that moves the muscle of omnipotence”.
With a general election less than three months away, uncertainty and turmoil all around us, this is a time for us to increase our prayer and faith that God would turn back the tide of COVID-19 and bring healing, spiritual awakening and unity to our nation and world.
6am Prayer Meeting every Tuesday Morning
We would love you to join our 6am prayer meeting led by Rino Chantana and you can find out how to do so by clicking on this link.
We also encourage you to take some time to pray at 7.14 every morning and evening, twice a day with one voice, wherever you may be. #UNITE714
We look forward to you joining us tonight at 6.30pm and on Sunday online at 10am.
Let’s continue to be a voice of hope and faith in these days!
We love and appreciate you all greatly,
Jonathan & Dianne Wilson
Senior Pastors
