San Jose Covenant Churches Share Worship - December 27, 2009

Two days after Christmas, the four San Jose Covenant Churches; New Life Covenant Church, Alum Rock Covenant Church, Church of Philadelphia, and The Bridge Community Church, gathered together at Willow Glen Middle School to celebrate in worship and explore more deeply our partnership in the Gospel.

These four churches serve different communities and have very different histories, but together, they are unified in serving the Gospel and the community of San Jose. This is a partnership of celebration, of prayer, of connection, of encouragement, and of challenge.

The entire service was a shared experience. Each pastor prepared part of the service and the worship team was a blend from New Life and The Bridge, while our Children's ministries met together and prepared kits for the homeless of San Jose. Even our offerings partnered this Sunday as we collected food and gave a special offering for Second Harvest Food Bank.

Looking forward, each of the pastors expressed their desire to come together again, and all are looking forward to adding new church plants to San Jose in the coming year so that this partnership might continue to grow and to reach out with Christ's love for this valley.

New Life Kids Christmas Play - December 13, 2009

The New Life Kids once again provided the congregation with a wonderful sweet, and very family-oriented Christmas play! Somehow, each year, New Life has the cutest Kings of any Christmas show in the world!

Many many thanks to Miss Gina and all of the children for their hard work. And thanks once again to Ashley Matthai and David Wold for providing us with such wonderful photos to enjoy!

New Life Kids Chimes Concert with Adam and Emily McGhee - December 6, 2009

December 6 was a very busy Sunday at New Life! We met Pastor James, a Burmese pastor and missionary, who kindly shared with us some of his ministry in Burma and around the world. We met Adam and Emily McGhee and later learned that they will be joining the New Life family very soon as Adam comes on staff as our new Outreach Pastor!

And the best part of the morning? The songs and concert, first with the New Life Preschoolers and then New Life Kids. All of the children did an amazing job in leading us to worship and sharing their love of God through their songs. What a blessing they are!

Many thanks to Ashley Mathai and David Wold for sharing their pictures from this special day!
