The 47th annual Church World Service Murrysville Area CROP Hunger Walk will be held on Sunday afternoon October 11. Our congregation has always been very active in this worthwhile project, and we’ll be asking for your support again this year. This will be a traditional in-person Walk, and we’ll also continue the highly successful online fundraising. We’ll again be following the popular new route we began in recent years, using the Westmoreland Heritage Bike Trail, beginning and ending at the Duff Park shelter at the park entrance off School Road South. Watch for complete information in the September Good Newlonsburg.

Women’s Breakfast on Saturday, 11/7/26 at 9:30am

Advent Dinner on Sunday, 12/6/26 at 6pm

Welcome to your Daily Dose of spiritual friendship. Each day in the Realm App or in your email box (whatever your preference) you will receive daily encouraging, challenging voices of Christianity to deepen your friendship with Jesus Christ and Christ's Church. Opt-in yourself or email office@newlonsburgchurch.org to be added to the Daily Dose messages.

There are multiple ways we can demonstrate our support for our Haitian friends in Charleroi.  One of the ways is to institute systemic change in our country's current approach.  If you are interested in this, please refer to the Matthew 25 page.

“TEACHING OF JESUS” YARD SIGNS:  

 Display simple messages of love and hope. Yard signs reflecting teachings of Jesus Christ that were displayed in front of the church last fall are once again available for purchase at cost ($13 per sign). If you are interested in obtaining one of these signs, please contact the church office at 724.327.0061 or look for the table in the narthex display between services.

HELP US PUT NAMES TO FACES IN OUR CHURCH PHOTO COLLECTION 

 The office team is purchasing photo albums to give our NPC photos a home. We need your help to put names to faces and help us determine the years the photos were taken. If you are able to help, please reach out to Jenn or Rachel at office@newlonsburgchurch.org or 724-327-0061.

NEW ACCESS CONTROL SYSTEM (ACS):

The new ACS and intercom systems have been installed and will replace the current key-based access to NPC. These systems will be gradually implemented over the next few weeks and will be fully operational by September 1st. If you currently have a key for access, you’ll need to complete an “Access Request and Agreement” form to obtain a key fob that will replace your key. This form is available in the church office and must be returned to the office so that the data can be added to the system. Between now and September 1st, we’ll be debugging the system and loading the system database with individuals and groups who currently have keys to the church. We’ll also input time frames for when doors will be unlocked and locked for facility user groups. Not everyone will require an access device (fob) to enter the church. If you primarily attend Sunday worship services and occasionally visit the church to drop off something, you don’t need to fill out an access form. The church doors will remain open for Sunday services and other church events.
