 From Our Church

 

People consider many things when visiting churches. The teaching. The music. Age groups. Families. Singles. Opportunities to serve. What you may be seeking could be dramatically different from the next person - or it could be exactly the same. Click here for more...

With open doors and open hearts Our congregation covers many generations, among which are people of every stage of faith. We welcome those seeking God and His truths, regardless of questions, baggage, or plain old life experiences.

Whatever you're looking for... you mean something to God. As God's church, you mean something to us. You are always welcome here. 

From Our Pastor

 

Rev. Martin L. Stokes has been our pastor for the past fourteen years "We are the church as God intended ...

...a community of believers who come together to follow the teachings of the Bible and spread the message of God's love. Along the way, we teach and share. We sing and laugh. We roll up our sleeves and get involved. And sometimes, we're quietly still in the presence of God."

 

New Monmouth Presbyterian Church (NMPC) has been serving the Lexington and Rockbridge areas since 1746. We are a part of the Presbyterian Church (USA), a body of believers numbering 2.5 million people in 11,260 congregations. Our name comes from the Greek word presbuteros, meaning "elder." Our organization is a representative democracy ruled by elders who are elected by the congregation.

"Teach them to your children, talking about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up."

(Deut. 11:19)

 

This passage is indicative of the Bible's intention that children be taught by their parents about the things of God. Fathers who take this responsibility seriously not only strengthen their own families but their churches as well. Men who lead their families well are those who will lead their churches well.

(Ephesians 6:4)

Resources for Lent

A worship service is a celebration. It is a time when we come into God’s presence and praise Him. Each service is filled with music and teaching, joy and insight.

We provide many opportunities for people of all ages to experience and celebrate God and a life of faith.

This Easter, we Pray - let us travel this journey with you. Let us all stay awake while our Savior prays in the garden of Gethse- mane. And let us all rejoice on His return.

So we can sing it,

and tell it, and live it.

...Amen

Reminders:

New Bible Study
We will resume our regular
Monday evening Bible studies on
January 9 at 6:30 p.m. We will
study the letter of Paul to the
church at Philippi. It will be based
on the study Laugh Again -
Experiencing Outrageous Joy by
Charles Swindoll. Workbooks are
available, but not required. The cost per book is $10. A nursery keeper will be available, thanks to
Ruthann Hodges.

The Fellowship Committee
Thanks to everyone who helped with our
chocolate peanut butter eggs and to those who purchased them. We also thank everyone who helped with the
luncheon for the Moore family. We will not have a fellowship breakfast during
May, but will have one on June 10.
The annual church picnic at Lake Robertson has been scheduled for August 19 at 1:00 - closing. We plan to eat approximately 5:00 with a brief
worship and communion to follow. Please put this date on your calendar and join us for a relaxing time in a beautiful setting.

Vacation Bible School
VBS planning is underway for June 17-20. We are looking for volunteers who are willing to help with serving the meal, crafts, music and recreation. Contact Lauren Welsh or Tim Welsh, if you are willing to help. This is a wonderful
opportunity to help younger children learn about God and the love that has been shown to us through the life, death, and resurrection of our
Lord Jesus Christ.
