Many of you have packed an Operation Christmas Child shoebox (in fact, New Cov packed over 1000 shoebox gifts in 2024 alone!), but if you’ve ever wondered what happens when the shoeboxes are distributed around the world, we invite you to come to New Cov on July 19 at 9:30 AM for Christmas in July! We’ll hear from Deb Virgl, OCC Area Coordinator for Southeast Nebraska who helped distribute boxes in Romania, about the impact of shoebox gifts there. She will also share some packing party ideas and tools.
There’s no cost to attend, but we would love to know if you’re coming. Please use this link to RSVP.

We offer various Bible studies for women throughout the week.
Tuesday Morning (Ongoing) - Revelation
This group meets on Tuesday mornings in Room 101 from 10:30 AM to 12:00 PM. The group gathers for fellowship and then watches a Bible Study message based on a book of the Bible. Current study is Revelation. It is led by Patti Lamphere and Mary Hamilton.
Thursday Evening (Ongoing) - Matthew
This group meets Thursday evenings from 6:00-7:30 in Room 101, and is studying the book of Matthew. This class is ongoing and you may join at any time. It is led by Laura Stunkel.
New! Thursday Afternoon (Summer) - Forgiving What You Can’t Forget
This group meets on Thursdays from 1:00-2:30 from June 19-July 31, except the week of July 4th. The class will be studying the book, Forgiving What You Can’t Forget, by Lysa Terkeurst. This video-based study will be led by Linda Arnold and Cindy Uhrmacker.
Study summary from the leaders:
Who has not had to struggle to forgive, much less to forget? Sometimes we might struggle to forgive ourselves. Other times hurts by others keep replaying in our minds. Sometimes we might experience serious traumas, and we just can’t let go. This video-led study will give us the tools we need to embrace the Gift of Forgiving and in the future, we will be better prepared to handle heartbreaks, plus when others struggle with forgiving, we will be equipped to guide them to the peace that only The Gift of Forgiving can bring.
Adult Connections Class: A Study of John
Connections is our Sunday morning adult Bible study class. 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 In the Beginning Was the Word: A Study of John 1:1-5, 9-14.
Connections Class meets downstairs in room 101 at 11:00 AM.
Connect at New Cov
Finding your place and connecting with others is an essential part of our mission - to connect through Authentic Relationships that help us grow in Genuine Faith, and together, make a Meaningful Impact through the work of the Gospel.
Royal Family Kids of Lancaster is a longstanding ministry partner with New Cov. They provide camp and mentoring for children who have been abused and neglected and who are in the foster care system. Learn more about RFK here.
If you are interested in partnering with us to serve with RFK, here are a couple of ways you can help:
Volunteer at camp. Volunteering at Royal Family KIDS Camp of Lancaster is a unique opportunity to provide support, encouragement, and the truth of God’s love to those who may have faced challenges in their lives. It’s a chance to make a positive difference and help create unforgettable memories for these kids. Click here for more volunteer information.
Camp dates are July 13-18, 2025
Part Time Volunteers. Can't make it out all week? Be the first to find out about opportunities to come to camp for a couple hours during the week to provide kids with golf lessons, spa treatment, birthday parties, and more. Check the Part Time box when filling out our application.
Make a direct donation, sponsor a camper, or sponsor a volunteer. It costs approximately $500 to bring each camper to camp. It costs a similar amount for every volunteer. In order to meet the individual needs of campers, RFK maintains low ratios by having at least one counselor for every two campers, in addition to a large group of camp staff to support the campers and counselors throughout the day and in the background to prepare activities. As you can imagine all of these costs add up quickly and can sometimes create a bottleneck in the number of campers we can invite to camp. Click here for more information on donating to RFK.
Other ways to donate:
Donate new/like new boys dress clothes (suits, slacks, dress shirts, suspenders, youth size ties, etc.) from sizes 5T to 16 husky. Reach out to communications@rfklancaster.org for details.
Attend a fundraiser: Eagle Raceway - August 2nd, 2025, Golf Tournament - August 9, 2025 (Details available at rfklancaster.org as they come available.)
Juniper Refuge Update and Opportunites
Juniper Refuge is a New Cov partner ministry that seeks to provide refugee-status residents and local Christians opportunities to make genuine connections with one another.

Builders for Christ
Builders for Christ is an organized group of churches that come together every summer to do mission work constructing church facilities for existing Christian congregations that are actively telling their communities about the saving grace of Jesus Christ, our Savior and Lord.
This summer, Builders For Christ (BFC) is partnering with Hope Chapel in Sterling, Massachusetts, providing volunteers to help build a new 14,500 square foot addition at Hope Chapel. The new project will double the size of the current Worship Center and add additional classrooms to provide the tools to reach out with the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the 50,000 people who live within five miles of Hope Chapel.
Volunteers from New Covenant Community Church will travel to Sterling and work with volunteers from other churches from Monday, June 30, thru Friday, July 4, 2025. No special skills are needed to join the BFC volunteer team—whether you're handy with tools or prefer to help with tasks like preparing meals, sewing projects, cleaning, or offering support behind the scenes, there's a place for you. All you need is a heart for Jesus and a willingness to serve.
For more info contact Craig “Zach” Zachariasen (czachusa@gmail.com).
