NCC Kids Resource (Attention Parents)

There is a new resource available to you online! Visit the New Community Church website to view the class topics, lesson plans, memory verses, themes, and questions to reinforce what your children are learning on Sunday at home. The website will be updated monthly for all the age groups above the nursery.


On the NCC website click kids or go to http://www.ncctacoma.org/kids.php and then click on the link for the resources for the current month.


We hope this serves you and gives you an opportunity to train your children to love God.

THANK YOU!

Dear Church,

I wanted to take a minute to express my gratitude to all of you. You all have been so impressive in this season of transition! Your hard work, combined with smiles and laughter, have served us as we have successfully moved into Stadium High School. I know there are always a few kinks to work out, but overall, we are ready to increase our presence and to extend the kingdom of God in Tacoma! Well done!!!!

A few practical things we can do as we move forward.

1. Please consider sitting on the bottom level. Our hope is that the bottom level would be 70% full before we start to sit in the upper level. The ushers will help with that 70% thing! This seems like a small thing, but it shows the visitors that we are together as a people and not just individuals scattered in a big venue.

2. Please also consider sitting toward the middle of the row. As visitors and others come late it's uncomfortable for them to skooch pass people to find a seat. So of course they don't... they just go sit on the outside of an unoccupied row. Again, our visitors have all the rights when they come... including where they want to sit. We would ask that our NCCers would serve them by sitting toward the middle.

Now, I certainly understand that moms with little ones want to sit up top for more space. Totally fine! These are not hard rules, just another opportunity for us to welcome new people and show the city we are a people reconciled to God and to each other.

Again, thanks so much for your hard work and prayers as we move forward. These are extremely exciting times. These are also extremely important times as we play our role in fulfilling the Great Commission!

For Him,

Bo

RCM Conference and More

We are very excited about the upcoming Reformed Charismatic Missional Conference on March 4-5. I know some have volunteered to serve at the conference, which is great, but also wanted to encourage some of you to just attend. The information presented will be challenging and uplifting! For more information and to register please click here.

Please also note that we won't be meeting at Stadium High on Sunday, March 6th. We will be at Central Lutheran at 4 pm to worship, receive teaching from Terry Virgo, baptize people and eat. We will be joined by Cedar Springs Church from Graham, WA. This should prove to be a fantastic time... feel free to invite whomever you'd like!

McCarver Family Fun Night!

Thursday Feb 24th: McCarver Elementary needs volunteers for there Family Fun Night! They are serving dinner and will need helpers to set up, serve food, clean up ect. They are looking for a group of NCCers to help out from 6 - 8:30pm. This is a great way to serve one of the poorest schools in Tacoma and to show a bunch of kids (and adults) what the church is about. The first 8 people to sign up will be in! Please email info@ncctacoma.org if you want to come along.
