Please take a few minutes to watch this video from Pastor Tucker.
It was great to see so many of you at services last weekend. It has been a blessing to reconnect and see so many worshiping together once again. Because of the size of our sanctuary, and our ventilation, we still have some open seats for each of our Sunday morning services. We’d love to see you there! And for those of you who are joining us online, it has been a joy to connect with you in that way. We will continue to stream our 9:15AM service. Be sure to say hi to our moderator!

To those of you who have served as volunteers and employees, we are thankful for the countless hours you have spent loving and caring for our community through New Again over the past 11 years. Your commitment to faithfully serve each person who walked through those doors is inspiring. We are also thankful for how our church family has supported New Again by donating used goods and shopping there. We will continue using the parking lot and are still processing new ways to repurpose the space that was New Again. It could be used to provide additional space for filming, Student Ministries, or smaller gatherings. In the meantime, we will be sorting through the inventory, selling what we can, giving to the needy in our community, and donating to other thrift stores, like The Arc. We’ll communicate any information regarding store hours and sales online.
