Events

While there are many organizations doing good work in the area of food insecurity in Lincoln, we are collecting items that will go directly to the school-run food pantry at Elliott Elementary, a school with which we're building a supporting partnership.

If you'd like to contribute, you will find collection bins near the Main, Student, and New Cov Kids entrances, as well as one just outside the Student and Office entrance for after-hours donations. The Elliott staff have provided a list of suggested items, and have requested easy-open or pop-top lids when possible. Suggested items include: rice, cereal, canned fruit, canned vegetables, canned meat (such as tuna, chicken, etc.), canned soup, mac and cheese, oatmeal packets, ramen, beans, pasta, pasta sauce, dried fruit, peanut butter, jelly, olive oil, powdered milk, crackers, apple sauce, nuts, granola bars.

If you find yourself in need of help during this season, please contact the Food Bank of Lincoln, or visit our list of local outreach organizations here.

If you're interested in volunteering at Elliott Elementary, please fill out this form and someone will be in touch.

What better way to kick off the Christmas season than by bringing joy to others! We’ll be sending out caroling groups to visit family members of our church community who live in local assisted living and nursing facilities, and we’ll end up back at New Cov for some cocoa and a beautiful start to our Christmas season.

All the details: Groups will begin caroling between 5:15 and 6:30 on December 1st, and arrive back at New Cov around 7:00. Registrants will receive emails with specific instructions for their caroling group the week before the event.

New Cov College Ministry is just getting started! We're all about learning from those ahead of us, walking with those beside us, and investing in those behind us as we grow in relationship with Jesus and our love for Scripture. Check out some upcoming events below.

Adult Connections Bible Study Class

Connections is our Sunday morning adult Bible study class for men and women. It is taught by gifted teachers and exists to help adults grow in their understanding of scripture and to provide a place where visitors and new members to New Cov can experience community until they get connected in a small group. They are currently studying the biblical passages behind the Navigators' Wheel Illustration and how they can guide our lives.

Connections Class meets Sundays, downstairs in room 101 at 11:00 AM.
