On Thursday, January 29 at 2:30 PM

Pastor Stephen Berry and Ed Neas (Elder) signed

the loan papers from AG Financial Solutions,

 which made it possible for the Church To

 purchase the property.

It was six years ago that a small group of Christians

3-4 families (Total of 15 people), entered into a

lease purchase agreement, believing that God

wanted to plant and grow a Spirit-filled, Biblically

 based church in Brookfield,  VT.

Over the last six years attendance at the

 church has grown from  15 to an average of

 75-100 people on Sunday mornings.

"It is amazing, God has met our financial needs on

a day to day basis.  It is a miracle of God's

 provision and a testimony to God's faithfulness

 and to the faithfulness of His people, that we are

 still here and finally own the property."

said Pastor Stephen following the closing on the

 loan. 

Praise The Lord!

The church will now be entering a building

 and renovation stage to increase the seating

 capacity of the church from about 100 to 200

people. 

The church will also be renovating the outside

 look and feel of the church in order to

 enhance the beauty and look of the church.

 

Below are some architectual renderings of the

 proposed renovated worship center.

The New Covenant Church Celebrated It's

5th Anniversary! 

Close to 100 people attended the 5th Anniversary Celebration Of The Birth Of The New Covenant Church!

The day of celebration began with a poweful 10 AM worship celebration service. The NCC worship team lead the congregation in a time of worship and praise to the Lord.  Following this Pastor Stephen preached a powerful message from 2 Chron. 23:1-23 entitled "Making God Known!" 

A free chicken, hamburger, hot dog bar-b-cue followed with all the "fixins."  The great meal was topped off with a 5th anniversary cake and ice cream sundaes.

Following the meal it was time to move to the infamous "dunking booth" for a time to "dunk the Pastor" and two other hearty volunteers (Joe Laplaca from Sharon, Vt and Richard Pecor from Brookfield).  The privilege to throw the first three balls were auctioned off.  The privilege to be the first to try and "dunk the pastor" went for $250.00 and the privilege to be the first to dunk Joe and Richard brought in another $170.00.  Following the first three balls thrown for each "dunkee" the cost for each ball thrown was $1.00/adults/ball and $1.00/children/three balls.  The total raised through the dunking booth was $539.00 with all the money going the "Speed The Light" missions.  "Speed The Light" purchases vehicles for missionaries around the world.  The NCC youth group has pledged to raise $1000 toward "Speed The Light" this year.  The money raised will go towards that goal.

During the afternoon, there was a free jumping castle and slide and horse and pony rides available for the children. 

The celebration day was closed out with a country/bluegrass concert at 4 PM by the group "Reunion" from Brandon, VT.

It was a wonderful time of celebration as the NCC family and friends rejoiced in God's faithfulness to the church over the last five years.  It was especially exciting as the church will be purchasing the property in January of 2009.

The weather was perfect as people relaxed, played, ate, worshipped and celebrated the faithfulness and goodness of God and the gifts that we are to each other and that Jesus is to us.  

And to think that all that God has done began with the faithful obedience of about 15 people, who believed that God wanted to build a Biblically based, Spirit Filled church in Brookfield, VT. 

Praise The Lord!
