🌟April Theme: New Beginnings🌟
🌟 Easter Sunday, April 5, 2026 at 10:30 a.m.🌟
Join us this Easter as we gather for worship in a more intimate setting at Pastor Brian’s home. After the service, we will share a meal together. The church will provide ham and rolls, and we invite everyone to RSVP and sign up to bring a side dish as we celebrate in community.
In worship, we will explore the Gospel of Mark, focusing on its original ending, where the story closes in fear and uncertainty rather than clarity and triumph. It is a surprising place to end, and yet it may be exactly where many of us find ourselves today. Together, we will reflect on what it means to hold hope in the midst of fear, and how resurrection is not just something to believe in, but something to live into.

Dear Beloved Community,
Resurrecting Hope: A New Beginning
There are seasons when life quietly turns a page, and others when the shift feels unmistakable. Easter arrives alongside spring as one of those moments, inviting us to notice what is emerging, what is beginning again, what is possible now that was not before.
All around us, the world is waking up. Trees that once seemed bare are budding again. The earth softens. Light lingers a little longer each evening. Spring does not ask permission to begin again. It simply does.
Easter carries that same invitation. Not as a return to what was, but as an opening into what can be. In the Gospel of Mark, the story ends in an unexpected place, with fear, uncertainty, and unanswered questions. And yet, even there, something new has already begun. Resurrection is not about having everything figured out. It is about stepping forward even when we do not.
For New Day Fellowship, this season holds that same sense of beginning again. A new space. A new rhythm. A new chapter unfolding in ways we are only just beginning to see. This is not simply about where we gather. It is about who we are becoming together.
Easter reminds us that new life does not wait for perfect conditions. It rises in the midst of uncertainty. It takes shape in community. It calls us forward with hope that is not naïve, but courageous.
As we step into this new chapter, may we be open to what is emerging among us. May we trust that something sacred is already taking root. And may we have the courage to grow into it together.

🌟 NEW MONTHLY VIRTUAL MEETING 🌟
🌟The Trinity and Other Images of God🌟
🌟Vote your preference for meeting times🌟
Pastor Brian has been asked by several people if we might have a monthly virtual gathering. This allows people who are not able to make it to our services to have a chance to connect with our community. It also allows us to dive deep into topics that we don't aren't the right fit for our Bible Study. A congregant has asked Pastor Brian to provide a look at the Trinity. How do we think about other images of God when our Christian faith has adopted the Trinity that holds God to have three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit? Â If you are interested in this topic, please vote in this survey. If you'd like to discuss other topics or times with Pastor Brian, please contact him directly at pastor@newdayccc.com.
