NHCC Friends & Family—

What a Sunday last weekend! Between two resurrection celebration services, we had the most bodies I’ve ever seen in our church building at one time—and we got to celebrate new life as Kaedyn Hampshire named Christ as Lord through baptism. God is doing things here at NHCC!

Speaking of new life, I announced last Sunday that we’ll be starting a new message series this coming Sunday called “Fixer Upper.” You’ve all seen these home improvement shows—they've 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. And 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. So be sure and join us, starting this Sunday, 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.

ALSO—this coming Sunday is really important for two other reasons: first, our all-church fundraising dinner is that evening, where some in-house NHCC chefs are creating a delicious menu for us that is inspired by favorite foods of the Honduran communities we serve. RSVPs are all in and we’re looking forward to a great evening! Then second, this Sunday is also the deadline to put down your registration deposit for our summer student conferences through Christ in Youth… don’t miss out—do that here!

Speaking of students, they’ll be having a blast tomorrow afternoon at Dave & Busters—get in touch with Parker if you need more details. For now, keep scrolling for all the ways we connect, grow and serve together here at NHCC—looking forward to seeing everyone Sunday!
