NHCC Friends & Family—

As you read this, a group of twenty-some students and leaders are preparing to head out for their fall (winter?) retreat at Laurelville this weekend—looking forward to hearing how God works and moves in their time spent together!

Last Sunday, we had the privilege of hearing from our NHCC Food Team about ways they ’continue to show up’ for those in our community who struggle to put food on their tables consistently, and in so doing, aim to be the hands and feet of Jesus to our North Hills neighbors. Missed last week? Check it out here.

THIS Sunday, we will be kicking off a Christmas message series called “All Hail the King.” So often, when we think about Christmas, our minds turn to the baby in the manger… and if we’re not careful, we forget that baby came to be a King—one who could know our pain and scars, one whose grace would be greater than our sin, one who came to bring immeasurable joy and hope, one whose kingdom was not of this world—his name is Jesus, and He is the King of Kings. Join us starting this Sunday as we explore this humble King and find our place in His Kingdom!

This Sunday will also kick off our ‘Christmas Lounge’ where various musicians, young and old, will be sharing acoustic pieces in our lobby the half hour before each service in December… and various bakers will be donating some tasty treats to enjoy pre-game as well. So if you want to hear some homespun music and sweet treats, come early!

Looking forward to worshipping with all of you this Sunday—keep scrolling for all the ways to Connect, Grow and Serve together here at NHCC!

"All Hail the King" - So often, when we think about Christmas, our minds turn to the baby in the manger… and if we’re not careful, we forget that baby came to be a King - one who could know our pain and scars, one whose grace would be greater than our sin, one who came to bring immeasurable joy and hope, one whose kingdom was not of this world - his name is Jesus, and He is the King of Kings. Join us this December as we explore this humble King and find our place in His Kingdom!

CHRISTMAS EVE SERVICES | Join us Wednesday, 12/24 for a reflective and celebratory service as we welcome the birth of our Messiah. We will have two identical services at 5pm & 6:30pm. Childcare will be available up though 2nd grade during both services; all others can worship with their families.

MEN'S STUDY | A men's Monday evening study group meets at the home of Paul Jones in Wexford at 7pm. Sign up on your Connect Card or contact Paul Jones with questions.

STUDENTS PROGRESSIVE DINNER | Students will celebrate Christmas with their annual Progressive Dinner on December 14th and we're looking for hosts! Interested in hosting appetizers, entree, or dessert? Let Brandon know.

FAMILY COMMUNION BRUNCH | Sunday, December 28th, we will use our 10am service time to do what the book of Acts says the disciples did in the early church: “they broke bread ... and ate together with glad and sincere hearts.” For those in town, join us downstairs for this special all-family brunch and communion gathering. Friends and neighbors are welcome! Everyone attending should bring a brunch-style dish to share. No RVSP’s needed.

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.

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.
