NHCC Friends & Family—

Let’s address what’s already on most of our minds: this weekend’s potential snowstorm—we wanted to let everyone know how that may affect our Sunday!

As I write this, the forecasts are all over the place, ranging from 4-6” all the way up to nearly 2 feet, depending on the weather model being used. Please know that NHCC leadership will be following this closely, and in the event we need to cancel Sunday's in-person gathering, we will use all email, text and social media outlets available to us to communicate that by mid-day Saturday, and some online link of content would be provided Sunday morning. If you hear nothing, it’s business as usual!

We’ve been in this message series called ‘Warfare Wear' to talk about what Paul refers to as ‘the armor of God’ in his letter to the church in Ephesus—and we’ve dug in deep—not just with the allegorical pieces of armor, but with the real enemy and the real battle being waged… and as we’ve said, with everything happening in our society and our world, the timing seems appropriate. I’m looking forward to continuing sharing with everyone on the final three pieces of armor!

There’s a number of important upcoming things to be aware of below, so keep scrolling… and of course, keep watch of your communication outlets (do I really have to say that these days??) in case we have a change of plans for Sunday.

WARFARE WEAR | Following Jesus doesn't mean we suddenly become immune to the struggles and temptations of this world—if anything, the opposite is true! However, we have been given tremendous provision to navigate those battles, and Paul writes about it in his letter to the Ephesian Church. Join us as we explore the rich symbolism of the Armor of God… and understand the true enemy we’re up against.

FAMILY GAME NIGHT: BINGO! Join us in the fellowship hall from 6-9pmon Friday, Feb 13 for some Bingo. Not your thing? Bring your favorite game to play instead! Open to ages elementary through adult. Bring a snack to share.

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.

LIFE GROUPS | We value genuine community here at NHCC. Life groups are small groups, most of which meet together weekly & in homes, to connect, grow, and serve together. Regardless of where you are in your faith journey, there is a place for you! Not in a group? We'd love for you to be! Most groups will be staring back up within the next few weeks. Mark your Connect Card on Sunday or contact the office with questions.
