Joining the Church

Tomorrow night is Joining the Church! We will gather at Central Lutheran at 6 pm to eat, hear about the church, and give you a chance to ask any question you want to ask. If you haven't been yet to a Joining the Church night, please consider coming. Childcare is available.

Please email me if you can make it... we want to make sure we have enough food!

Exciting NCC Kids News!

What’s New at NCC Kids??

We are excited to announce that our kids’ program here at NCC is expanding to accommodate the steady growth we have seen over the recent months. It has been amazing to see all that God is doing in the lives of our kids! We look forward to watching them grow into all that God has created them to be.

As of Sunday, October 17^th, there are a few changes that will take place regarding the age groups and sign up process. We will now have four age groups which are: Nursery 0-2, Preschool 3-4, Lower elementary 5-6, and Upper elementary 7-12. Each group will be identified by the colors red, orange, yellow, and green, respectively.

The sign up process will be as follows: Nursery (Red) and Preschool (Orange) will have the sign up sheets in their classrooms upstairs. Parents will be able to sign in and drop off their kids in their rooms by 3:45 each Sunday. After the meeting, parents will need to sign their kids out as they pick them up. Our elementary groups (Yellow and Green) will be signed in downstairs at the table in the back of the auditorium. Both groups will remain downstairs for our time of worship and then will be taken upstairs to their classrooms by theirs respective teachers. Parents will then need to pick them up and sign them out upstairs at the end of the meeting.

We believe that these new groups and small changes in the sign in/out process will improve our program and make it easier for parents and teachers. Our goal is to keep making NCC Kids a place where parents, teachers, and kids can work together for the common goal of seeing lives supernaturally changed by God.

Huge thanks to all our volunteers who make all this possible. We truly appreciate all our teachers who have volunteered their time and energy to be a blessing in the lives of everyone at NCC Kids. Thanks for all your hard work!!

Join us this Sunday (October 10) at 4 pm as we celebrate what God has done among us! We will be gathering for worship, a short time of teaching, baptisms and BBQ! If you are interested in being baptized, contact Bo Noonan.

We also have the privilege of the Church at Cedar Springs (Graham) joining us for the service. Let's show them our hospitality. Here are some ways you can help:

New Community will provide the meat & buns, plates, drinks, cups & utensils. We're asking everyone to bring a dish based on their last name: Dessert (A-M), Side Dish (N-Z).

We could also use some help in setting up before and serving during the meal.
