NHCC friends & Family—

As summer winds down and September sneaks up on us, there's a lot happening at NHCC this fall. Here are a few important things to keep on your radar:

Trunk Sale- One Week Away! - 7:30am-12pm
If you're available to help last minute, reach out to Sarah in the office—or just show up! Cleanup help is especially appreciated around noon when things wrap up.
Children’s Baptism Class- September 14 - after service
If your child is ready to explore baptism, let me know if you’d like to attend this class together.
Student Nights Return- September 14th - 6:30-8:00pm
We're kicking off the fall with a shift: Student Nights will now be for 9th–12th graders only. Brandon shared more about this in his student update, so check your inbox for details.

If you’ve been a follower of Jesus for awhile, you’re probably familiar with them—those disciplines, those scriptural practices that we know are important, we know are part of the life and the faith community we were created for—except… well, we don’t really like them. In fact, we tend to avoid them, because they’re a little uncomfortable,. even painful. Join us as we circle up over the next month and talk through things like accountability, confession, generosity and other things we sometimes wish we didn’t have to talk about… but when we do, we discover the grace and goodness of God in ways we never imagined.

COMMUNITY TRUNK SALE: Love neighborhood yard sales? Have things laying around your house that you'd like to get rid of? Our 7th annual Trunk Sale will be held on Saturday, September 6th from 7:30am - Noon, right here in the NHCC parking lot. Coffee truck & Breakfast-fare onsite. Come meet some neighbors and find some treasures! Wanna volunteer to help at this event? Contact the office.

NHCC PICKLEBALL | Join us on select Wednesdays from 6:30-8:30pm at Blueberry Hill Park for some friendly pickleball. Open to teens and adults of all ability levels- we’d love to teach you if you don’t know how to play- paddles provided. Contact Amanda with questions.

WOMEN'S STUDY | Join us Wednesdays, beginning Sept. 10th, in the church lobby, at 9:30am as we walk through the book of David. This study will be loosely based on Beth Moore's study, David: Seeking A Heart Like His. "Some days you'll want to be just like him; other days you won't want to be anything like him. Let's discover the truth that God will never give up on you." Contact Karen Landis for more info.

MORNING MEN'S STUDY | A new morning men's study will be starting on Tuesdays at 7am beginning March, 18th. If you're interested in joining, sign up on your Connect Card or email the office.

BEFRIEND INITIATIVE: HONDURAS | We have a committed partnership with Lifeline Christian Mission and their work in Honduras. As a team from NHCC travels onsite this summer, David White is aiming to build a focused prayer support network--find David after service or mark your connect card if interested.

BEFRIEND INITIATIVE: HONDURAS | We have a committed partnership with Lifeline Christian Mission and their work in Honduras. Check out the video about our partnership here and read our summary letter we sent out last year.
