Welcome
New Gosh is a combination of human beings who live & work, who love & suffer, who worry & hope. No two people are alike. The one thing we hold in common is our faith in Jesus Christ.
Our Mission
New Goshenhoppen lives as a firm foundation for the Christian faith and shall continue to serve God by sharing the light, faith, and love of Jesus Christ with all people guided by the power of the Holy Spirit.
Music & Worship
Our church has a number of opportunities to lift praises to the Lord. Sing in our Senior and Youth Choir groups. Play an instrument? Join our Brass or Bell Choirs.
Services
Sunday services are held in-person at 8:00 am & 10:30 am in the Sanctuary. Live Streamed service begin at 10:30 am (use link at top of page).
This Lent, I am inviting you to “Live One Day with Jesus” every day. The late Dr. Dallas Willard prepared this spiritual practice exercise when he was teaching. It has been presented as the Spiritual Practice for the class I am taking in California.
Purpose:
The secret of the blessed life is God with us. Life without lack. I shall not want. God really being with us works like the manna worked: one day at a time is enough, until the next day. If we can live one day with Jesus, we can lead every day with Him, each one as it comes.
Preliminaries (You’ll need these things first.)
Faith in Jesus’ gospel of the availability of Heaven’s rule now.
Desire. No faking! God knows whether you really want Jesus to be with you or not. Many regard Jesus as necessary, but not desirable. Are you really “nuts about Jesus” or only prepared to put up with Him in some degree, even though you don’t really like Him...
