Vacation Bible School 2026
Vacation Bible School starts tomorrow and we couldn't be more excited about all that God is going to do through VBS 2026! Please join us in praying for God to be moving in the lives of the kids and families that will be part of VBS next week, also pray for our over 100 volunteers, our dedicated leadership team, and our staff that will be sharing the love of Jesus with so many kids this week!
If you have time after worship today, we would love your help in decorating our spaces for VBS starting at 11:00am in the Café!

NC Blood Drive

New Covenant is hosting a blood drive in partnership with Our Blood Institute (formerly Oklahoma Blood Institute) on Sunday, July 12th from 8am-12:00pm. They will have a blood mobile van parked in our north parking lot.
Marty Solomon Book Release
July 15
New Covenant is hosting Marty Solomon, a host from The BEMA Discipleship Podcast, as part of his Book Release tour for his recently released book, The Gospel of Being Human. The event will take place in New Covenant’s Worship Center from 7-8:30pm. You can find out more about Marty and his book at his website: martysolomon.com.
Regional Food Bank Serve Opportunity
July 23
On Thursday, July 23rd we will be serving at the Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma starting at 1:30pm. We will meet at New Covenant’s south parking lot at 12:30 to pray together and then carpool to the Regional Food Bank (3355 S Purdue Ave, Oklahoma City, OK 73179)!
Volunteers will do a variety of tasks: Backpacks for Kids, Pantry Boxes for Seniors, labeling bags, sorting produce or bread, and more, so this should be an easy volunteer opportunity for kids over 8, teens, and adults! A perfect way to serve as a family during the summer! Volunteers under 16 must be accompanied by an adult. This is also a great way to serve one weekday afternoon per month! Upcoming dates to serve will be on the fourth Tuesday each month.
Please let Barabara Perry know if you can help serve by July 16th by emailing yrrep3@cox.net as she must register each person at RFB, seven days prior to the volunteering date. Let Barbara know if you are willing to drive others in your car.
Pelican Bay
August 2nd
Mark your calendars—you’re invited to a night of free summer fun on Sunday August 2nd from 7-9pm at our NC Family Night at Pelican Bay (1034 South Bryant Avenue)!
Bring your kids, your grandkids, your friends, or just yourself—and enjoy a relaxing, joy-filled evening before school starts back up! P.S. Invite someone who might love a relaxed first step into our church family—they’ll have a blast!
Stephen Ministry
Ever Thought About Becoming a Stephen Minister? New Cov will be training another class of Stephen Ministers beginning on Saturday, August 22, and continuing on Monday evenings until November 15.
Stephen Ministers work alongside our pastors to care, encourage, and provide emotional and spiritual support to people who are going through a difficult time, such as divorce, grief, hospitalization, unemployment, terminal illness, relocation, chronic illness, or loneliness.
If you have gifts for caring, encouragement, and listening, please begin to prayerfully consider whether you might want to be part of this exciting ministry. If you think you might be interested, talk with one of our Stephen Ministry Leaders and get more information: Frank Andrews (713-206-6898), Carol Andrews (713-726-4481), or Bonnie Cates (405-919-91030).
Tech Team Serve Opportunity
Our NC Worship Team is looking for volunteers to help operate cameras to help share the good news of Jesus outside of our church walls! If you have an interest in serving NC in this area, please contact Marvin Scheele at mscheele3@cox.net.
