NHCC Friends & Family—

Summer is barreling along like a downhill freight train—if only this heatwave would move along and be on its way that speedily! The overworked window a/c units in my house are crying for mercy!

18 high school students & volunteers got back last week from CIY Move in Knoxville, TN—I’ve heard some exciting stories of how God moved in hearts and lives… and THIS weekend, our Honduras travel team is scheduled to arrive stateside. Sue Fattibene has been our local contact and has kept us in the loop with our team’s comings and goings—Bible studies, community home visits & prayer gatherings, serving meals, meeting for worship, kids events, game planning, leading breakout men’s & women’s ministry workshops, and of course no shortage of gloves and shovels to prep soccer field space… they’ve been doing it all! I’m looking forward to hearing all of those stories too!

Not only that, but Brandon, our new Student Director, is currently enroute for a 5 day road trip as he makes his way cross country from Southern California to Pittsburgh. I’m looking forward to introducing him to all of you next Sunday, July 6… just in time for him to head out with Parker and the gang of 17 traveling to MIX, CIY’s middle school conference week, July 7-11.

In the meantime, I look forward to sharing with everyone this Sunday as we continue in our Fixer Upper summer message series—please scroll down for lots of important info and goings-on here at the church that you don’t want to miss—stay hydrated and I’ll see you Sunday!

"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.

STUDENT POOL PARTY: Students, join us for a "farewell" pool party to show Parker how much he has meant to us before he heads off on his new adventure in Florida. Meet us on July 13th at the Terhune home from 6-8pm. Bring your swimsuit and a towel and get ready for a night of swimming, games, snacks, and fun with friends! See Amanda for details.
