WELCOME TO THE NEW ARK UCC!
The New Ark United Church of Christ is an inclusive and friendly congregation dedicated to being open to persons of every age, race, sexual orientation, ability and religious background. We are a faith community that values diversity, respects freedom of thought and celebrates the gifts that each person brings to the table. We value individual growth in our faith journeys, offering worship and Christian education to all ages.
We are dedicated to God's call to "do justice, love kindness and walk humbly with God," reaching out with compassion and service to those suffering injustice or who are in need in our community and throughout the world. We strive to live peacefully, love fully, and act as faithful stewards of the physical and spiritual universe. [LEARN MORE]

WHAT'S NEW: A "How to Reduce Your Energy Costs" workshop will be held on Saturday, Jan. 21 from 10am to 1pm. Hosted by Andrew Rudin, a well-known congregational energy expert, the seminar will show attendees how to immediately save money on energy. Rudin has consulted on energy conservation with hundreds of congregations, given numerous energy-saving workshops, lectured at universities, and written dozens of papers on energy topics. The workshop will be held at Limestone Presbyterian Church, and is made possible by LPC and the Society Committee of the United Methodist Church, and New Castle Presbytery. Please plan to attend if you can, as this is a unique and exciting opportunity for our Earthwise Congregation. Visit: Delaware Interfaith Power & Light.

'TIS THE SEASON: The Social Concerns committee urges members of the New Ark to participate in their 2012 winter clothing drive to benefit the Friendship House clothing bank. Bring your gently used clothing to the church throughout the month of January. Drop-offs can be made Monday through Friday, during normal office hours (10am-2pm), or on Sundays before or after worship. A donation table will be set up in Wells Hall. For more information, call 302.737.4711.
GOING GREEN: In February 2010 the New Ark installed several solar panels atop the roof of our church. Capable of generating 7,900 watts of electricity at peak level, the panels have helped to prevent tons of harmful carbon dioxide from being released into the atmosphere, reduce the building's electric bill, and earned Renewable Energy Credits along the way. The New Ark is dedicated to helping the environment, and as an Earthwise congregation, we strive to reduce global warming pollution by seeking out and implementing alternative and sustainable energy technologies.
