New Beginnings' Newsletter

Your place for a fresh start!

March 2023

Welcome

We are grateful you are here. New Beginnings Church welcomes you with open arms. Here at New Beginnings Church we understand that our current time is difficult and darkness may seem to be closing in, but let the words of Jesus from John 16:33 ring true in your heart: "I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world." As children of God, we have the promise that Jesus has overcome the world. We have the promise of peace and joy during tumultuous times because God has given us the victory through Christ Jesus! It is time for the Church to bind our hearts together and join in prayer as we shine the light of Jesus in the darkness. Let the Church arise and reach the world with the Good News of the Gospel!


Join us at 29 Park Place Dr., Covington for 8:30am or 10am each Sunday, and hear how God will use New Beginnings Church to fulfill the purposes of His Word as we focus on a lifestyle of worship. We hope to see you soon as we WORSHIP the ONE!

NBC Worship

During the week do you want to listen to some of the great songs we sing on Sundays? Check out this Spotify playlist and worship each and every day.

Get to Work: Serve List

EACH ONE, HELP ONE

To be a true disciple we must live a life of love and be willing to serve others. Not only should we serve/volunteer within our church, but we must step outside the walls of the church and enter the “mission field”: the community and world around us.


Mark 10:45, “For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”

1 Peter 4:10, “Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms.”

Matthew 25:40, "The King will reply, “'Truly I tell you whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.'”

Romans 15:1-2, Matthew 5:16, Hebrews 6:10, Philippians 4:9, Isaiah 1:17, Acts 13:47

The Vision and Purpose of NBC


Vision

The vision of New Beginnings is to reach the Northshore community with the life giving message of Jesus Christ, and to teach those we reach to become true disciples, ultimately reproducing themselves. We say it like this....reach and teach we don't just want them to know, but to grow.


Purpose

The purpose of New Beginnings is to be a life giving beacon of hope, a sanctuary for the hopeless, and a haven for the downtrodden. As Jesus Himself said, "It's not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick". New Beginnings is a place for a fresh start.
