WELCOME! We’re glad you chose to join us today! Here at NHCC, we have a passion for making lifelong followers of Jesus. You can expect a friendly, casual atmosphere that invites you to explore and discover at your own pace. During the worship service, children’s programming is available for children from infants through students in 5th grade. Here are some components you may experience in your time here today:
Songs of Worship: This is a time where we proclaim together all that God is and all He has done. We invite you to sing along to the words on the screen as they are sung.
Communion: Followers of Jesus are invited to take the provided individual self-serve packets of bread and juice as a ceremonial reminder of God’s great sacrifice of His son, Jesus, on the cross for our sin. If you are unsure, feel free to simply use this time for quiet reflection. Please discard used cups in the trash as you leave.
Offering: This is our opportunity to give back to God financially from what He has given to us. Please place your gifts and Connect Cards in one of the offering boxes outside the sanctuary doors. You can also give via our mobile app, Tithe.ly.
Invitation: This is an opportunity to respond to God’s prompting by talking with a pastor or leader at the indicated time... to commit your life to Christ through baptism (the water is always warm!), to place membership with the church, for prayer… one way or another, if God is stirring in your heart this morning, don’t leave without responding in some way.
CURRENT MESSAGE SERIES : "Anti-hero" - An anti-hero can be defined as "a central protagonist who lacks the traditional qualities of a classic hero, such as courage, nobility, or great strength. Instead, they possess flawed, troublesome or unconventional traits.” Join us for this summer series as we see how God has used unlikely characters through history to accomplish His grand purposes.
Message this morning:
“Anti-Hero - David”
Ethan Harrington - Lead Pastor

STUDENT NIGHTS: 9th-12th graders, come hang out Sunday nights from 6:30-8pm as we hear a message and meet in small groups to build community and talk about Jesus. 6th-8th meets Sunday mornings during our worship service.
SUMMER PILATES CLASSES: Join us Fridays July 24th, & Aug. 28th at 7pm for Pilates classes in the church lobby. Pilates focuses on moving within your body’s limits, not pushing past them. Gentle movement, no pressure, no intimidation. Come as you are! Suggested donation of $10/class, bring it with you when you come. All donations go to the church.
INFERTILITY SUPPORT GROUP: If you have been impacted by the pain and isolation of infertility and pregnancy-related loss & heartbreak, join in community & conversation with others who know how it feels. Dates & times are coordinated by Debbie Harrington with those interested.
FOOD DISTRIBUTION: Each week we provide FREE groceries to families in need. This is a vital way that we serve our community, and demand is higher than ever. A list of needed items can be found at the Welcome table. Consider donating items to help us keep meeting this need.
