Want to Join a Small Group?
COVID has made us realize, perhaps now more than ever, our innate need for con-nection with other people. Small groups can be a powerful way to experience both a human and a divine connection. That's why even though things aren’t back to “normal” yet, small groups are still going on at the New Market Church! We encour-age you to click on the link below and browse our church’s small groups. If you see a group you would like to be a part of, simply text the group’s keyword (e.g. “Prayer”) to 540-340-5775 and you will be automatically put on the group’s contact list. Go to this link to see all our groups!: https://tinyurl.com/yy9elogj
Don’t see something that interests you? Why not start a group of your own? We have all sorts of groups that meet in a variety of ways, and we would love to have more! Contact Pastor Reed (804-895-4024, [email protected]), and he will gladly help you get started.

ROK's Fall Meet & Greet is Friday, October 16, at 7:00 p.m., in the SVA Gym. This will be the time for our ROK Friends (Church Members) to meet their ROK Student(s). Plans are being laid to ensure a delightful evening with safe parameters. You won't want to miss this! By now you should have received your ROK Student Information. Please reach out to your ROK Student before October 16. The campus is buzzing from students who have received contact from their ROK Friends!
Do You Recognize These Members? Can You Help Us Contact Them? Keeping our membership database current is an ongo-ing task. Adventists tend to be active folk, moving to new plac-es, going to new schools, etc., and keeping track of their most recent contact information is thus a strong priority for us. Please take a moment to read through the following list of members. We currently have no valid contact information for any of them. Do you? If you do, could you share that infor-mation with the church office at [email protected] at your earliest convenience? We would greatly appreciate your help! Thank you! Pastor Shane
