NHCC Friends & Family—

It’s been so exciting to watch what God has been doing in our midst as we've studied through the book of Galatians in our “Free Indeed” message series…multiple decisions of new life in baptism, many meaningful conversations about ways the Holy Spirit is at work in lives… I am grateful for all the ways God is working here at NHCC!

This Sunday will be two weeks out from our annual congregational meeting after church on 11/23… we’ll gather downstairs for a light lunch, then reconvene upstairs to celebrate 2025 and look towards 2026… and for members to vote & affirm next year’s budget and leadership. Speaking of which, sample reference ballots of those leaders will be available on the resource table beginning this Sunday. Interested in more info about being a member here at NHCC? Message me here.

Important student dates like the upcoming video game night, Charlie Brown Thanksgiving, and the 6th-12th grade retreat registration deadline—don’t miss those below, along with a Family game night next Friday, an a cappella worship group coming here on 11/30, the "Christmas Lounge" in our lobby in December—lots of things to keep top of mind in the final months of 2026!

Grateful to connect, grow and serve along with you here at NHCC—hope to see you Sunday!

CURRENT MESSAGE SERIES - "Free Indeed" | When Paul traveled through regions preaching and teaching and starting churches, the message was always the same: Jesus has done for you what you have never been able to do for yourself. Through Jesus you can be set free, you don't have to carry the heavy weight of spiritual expectations anymore. Yet people through history, much like us, were still tempted to try. Join us as we study through Paul’s letter to the Galatians to talk about this very real human tendency when it comes to faith.

FAMILY GAME NIGHT | Bring your favorite game or two (Dutch Blitz anyone?) and join us in the fellowship hall from 6-9pm on November 14th for game night! Open to ages elementary through adult. Light snacks will be available. Contact Amanda with questions.

STUDENT'S RETREAT - DEC 5-7 | Students in 6th - 12th grades join us for the NHCC Student's Retreat, Dec. 5-7th at Laurelville Retreat Center in Mt. Pleasant, PA as we grow in our relationship with God and each other. Contact Brandon with questions. Register here today!
Deadline to register is Sunday, Nov. 16th.

MOSAIC is a student led a cappella group from the University of Pittsburgh whose mission is to bring the Gospel of Jesus to Pitt's campus through vocal ensemble. NHCC will be hosting their winter concert on Sunday, November 30 at 7pm—come out and support them and hear some great music!

WOMEN'S STUDY | Join us Wednesdays, beginning Sept. 10th, in the church lobby, at 9:30am as we walk through the book of David. This study will be loosely based on Beth Moore's study, David: Seeking A Heart Like His. "Some days you'll want to be just like him; other days you won't want to be anything like him. Let's discover the truth that God will never give up on you." Contact Karen Landis for more info.

STUDENT NIGHTS | 9th-12th graders are invited to come Sunday nights from 6:30-8pm as we hang out, hear a message, and meet in small groups to build community and talk about Jesus. 6th-8th graders meet Sunday morning during our worship service. Questions? Contact Brandon.
