Hey NHCC Friends and Family!

It’s been really cool getting to hear how well the Women’s Retreat went, so I wanted to take a moment to plug a similar opportunity for the Students.

From December 5th-7th, we’ll again be having our Students Retreat at Laurelville Retreat Center with the 6th-12th graders!

The students had an absolute blast last year and it’s always a great opportunity to have that camp experience in the middle of the school year.

If you’d like to sponsor a student or register one yourself, you can do so HERE.

Similarly, I wanted to invite all the men to join me and Ethan at the Men’s Retreat coming up in less than 10 days! Make sure to register before registration closes this Sunday!

Last but not least, we have two events coming up in the Students' world:

The high schoolers are having a Student Message Night, where some of our students are giving mini messages for each other THIS Sunday, October 12th.
The week after that, the middle schoolers will be having Pumpkin Bowling downstairs during service on October 19th!

It’s been a great start to the Fall season here at NHCC and I’m looking forward to what’s in store for the rest of it!

See y’all on Sunday!

NEW 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.

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.

BEFRIEND INITIATIVE: HONDURAS | We have a committed partnership with Lifeline Christian Mission and their work in Honduras. As a team from NHCC travels onsite this summer, David White is aiming to build a focused prayer support network--find David after service or mark your connect card if interested.
