NHCC Friends & Family—

What a blast last Sunday! We had great weather for our annual “Lot Party Fundraiser” to raise funds for our students attending this summer’s Christ in Youth conferences… such a great array of auctions and fun stuff for sale! The numbers aren’t finalized yet, but it looks like we brought in around $7,000—which is fantastic! THANK YOU for your generosity and enthusiasm to help our students encounter God in new ways this summer!

That said—the per-attendee cost of these conferences currently sits around $550—students attending have paid already more this year than in previous years, and we have 33 total attendees between the conferences this year—so if you are so inclined, or if you missed the Lot Party, there is still much room to contribute. If you’re a mobile contributor, you can use the ‘CIY fundraiser’ dropdown on Tithe.ly. And if you’re a parent with kids attending, we’ll be in touch about any future payments needed.

Don’t forget to support our Honduras team '40 days of prayer' initiative here, and mark your calendars for Thursday evening, June 19th, from 730-8pm here at the church to consider coming and joining in gathered prayer for our team before they leave that weekend.

Scroll through below to see everything coming up this summer, and I’ll see you all this Sunday as we continue in our Fixer Upper series together!

"FIXER UPPER" shows have been all the rage for over a decade, each one featuring some trendy spin on the same idea: a messy, ugly, or otherwise un-useful house is transformed under the care of someone with the vision and passion to give it new life. Throughout the scriptures, we see a similar and compelling pattern: people encounter a living and loving God, and they experience a transformation—a better path, a clearer purpose, a second chance… a new life. Join us in these coming weeks as we look at several people in the Bible whose lives were given the fixer-upper treatment through the masterful care of God’s amazing grace.
