Journey Through Lent: A Midweek Musical Invitation
Wednesdays, February 25–March 25, at 11 AM in the Chapel
This Lenten season, we invite you to make time for what your soul truly needs: rest, reflection, and renewal. Step away from the noise of the world and into the peaceful stillness of Lenten Musical Meditations — a simple, sacred 30-minute gathering of music, scripture, and spiritual focus. Let this be the Lent you lean in. Let this be your journey toward Easter. Each week features a different musician or ensemble offering meditative music designed to help you reflect on your journey through Lent.
February 25: Gary Powell, organ
March 4: Bonnie Fisher & Cheryl Steinborn, pianists
March 11: Lesan Van Syckle, horn and Sean Pollock, piano
March 18: Joel Alexander, violin
March 25: Noah Laney, cello
Whether you come for just one or make the full journey, each service offers a space to breathe, listen, and be renewed. No registration is needed. Just come as you are and let this season shape your heart.
Thinking About Membership?
Thursday, February 26 at 1 PM in Classroom 6/7
Becoming a member at New Covenant is more than just filling out a form – it’s about saying yes to growing in your faith and connecting more deeply with this church family. Whether you live here full-time or spend just part of the year with us, there’s a membership option that fits your life and your journey.
Membership is a way we support one another in love, prayer, and accountability. It’s a step toward belonging and investing in something bigger than ourselves – God’s work through the local church.
If you’ve been thinking about making New Covenant your church home, we’d be honored to walk alongside you in that process. Have questions? Need help getting started? We'd love to speak with you!
For more information, please contact Ashley Hill, First Impressions Manager.
Lunch and Learn with Dr. Buck Blodgett
Tuesday, March 3 from 12 – 1 PM in the Fellowship Center
The first Tuesday of each month this spring, Dr. Buck Blodgett will present a four-part study called, “The F Words.”
“The F Words” include Forgiveness, Faith, Fruitfulness, and Fortitude. He continues to expand on his theme of “The LOVE>hate Project” message. These study sessions are designed for all groups to hear about the transformative force of love!
All are welcome to join. There is no charge for this event, but we do ask that you preregister. At each session, you're invited to bring a sack lunch.
Following dates will be April 7 and May 5. Each will require a separate registration.
Dinner and a Movie
Tuesday, March 3 at 5 PM in the Fellowship Center
Our Men’s and Women's Ministries are sponsoring a Dinner and a Movie event. This is an opportunity for a great date night or a fun evening with friends. It will feature a full dinner, followed by a wonderful movie displayed on our large screen.
Doors will open at 4:30 PM and dinner will be served at 5 PM. The movie will begin at 5:45 PM.

Women’s Monthly Gathering (March 2026)
Thursday, March 19 from 10 AM – 11:30 AM (with lunch to follow)
Join us for a meaningful and inspiring morning as we welcome Rev. Sarah Campbell, PhD, Senior Pastor of Forest United Methodist Church in Ocala and Silver Springs and Congregational Vitality Specialist for the Northeast District of the Florida Conference of the United Methodist Church.
Dr. Campbell will share the unique and powerful story of ministry in and around the Ocala National Forest, where community needs look very different from what many of us experience day to day. Through outreach efforts like a thriving thrift store and the Forest Food Panty, Forest United Methodist Church is meeting people where they are and making a tangible difference in daily lives.
This is a wonderful opportunity to learn, connect, and grow in compassion as we gain a deeper understanding of how our neighbors live and how faith in action can transform communities.
The mission for March will benefit Forest UMC’s thrift store and other church ministries.
Menu: Chicken Alfredo, Italian Garden Salad, Garlic Toast, Dessert
Registration is required ($12) and closes at 12 noon on Monday, March 16. If you have any questions or need help with registering, please contact Pat Hill, Care Coordinator - Discipleship.
