NHCC family and friends—

What’s one thing you would say makes your life easier? Banking apps? Dishwasher? Garage door opener? Microwave? Your car’s backup camera? Or maybe your iPhone instead of having to order a set of Encyclopedia Britannica every year? What would you say is something that makes your life easier?

We’re in a message series called ‘Bad Takes’ where we’re dismantling a number of damaging myths and misinformed approaches to faith, and if your answer to my above question is “Jesus”, you might want to be sure and join us this Sunday! It’s certainly true that following Jesus, and embracing His way of living brings plenty of change to our lives—but is one of those changes making life smoother sailing?

Be sure and keep up with everything below as we Connect, Grow and Serve together here at NHCC—and I look forward to gathering with all of you Sunday!

CURRENT MESSAGE SERIES | Bad Takes - Nobody likes being misunderstood. What can be even worse is when people make a judgment about you based on flat-out wrong information. When it comes to following Jesus, there are a number of 'bad takes' out there that not only misunderstand Biblical faith, but actually make judgments about it based on incorrect information. Join for this series as we take a look a some of these destructive misconceptions in order to learn what God’s word really says.

We're throwing exclusive GIRLS ONLY & BOYS ONLY game nights for NHCC Students.

BOYS GAME NIGHT: Friday, May 3rd - 5:30 - 8pm

GIRLS GAME NIGHT: Saturday, May 4th - 5:30 - 8pm

Bring some friends, $5 each for pizza, and get ready to have a great time hanging out and getting to know other NHCC students! Contact us to let us know if your student is coming so we have enough pizza for everyone.

THE VETERANS PLACE rehabilitates homeless veterans with housing and training to get them back on their feet. We are collecting donations of twin-size bedding (sheets and blankets), travel size toiletries, socks, and underwear. We are hoping to supply 52 sets of bedding for their facility. All donations must be new in its original packaging and can be left in the fireplace room in the lower back hallway. Any questions, contact Christina Sturzinger.

The Veterans Place is in need of volunteers to help cook breakfast during the week. Cooking begins at 7:00am and vets are served at 8:00am. Please reach out to Christina Sturzinger if you can help.

DAYTIME WOMEN'S STUDY GROUP: Join us Wednesdays at 9:30am as we read through "Liquid Crossing." The only way to get to the other side of life's challenges and changes is to step out in faith and cross over—just as Joshua and the Israelites did. Like any crossing, it takes strength and courage. Crossing explores the extraordinary things that can happen when we trust God and let him lead the way. LIQUID presents five true-to-life stories of characters in our world—the real world—with problems and struggles that mirror those found in Bible stories.Contact Karen Landis for more info.

INFERTILITY SUPPORT GROUP | If you have been impacted by the pain and isolation of infertility and pregnancy-related loss & heartbreak, join in community & conversation with others who know how it feels. Dates & times will be coordinated with those interested. Contact Debbie Harrington.

FOOD DISTRIBUTION PROGRAM | Consider donating needed grocery items for our weekly family Food Distribution. This month we are collecting APPLE SAUCE Distribution happens every Monday from 5-6pm. Contact Katie to get involved with packing, shopping, & distributing.

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! Contact the office for more info. Life groups have paused for the year but will resume mid January.
