WEEKLY UPDATE

June 12, 2026

Hey NHCC Friends and Family!

Brandon here!

Hope y’all are enjoying the change in weather. I know I’ve been enjoying some time in the pool myself, so no shame if you’re finding yourself doing the same.

I just wanted to share that I’m both excited and a little bit in awe at the many awesome moments our church has been having and what’s coming up next!

Whether it’s the absolute blast we had at the Lot Party as a community, this past weekend’s Students Summer Kickoff Pool Party with over 40 people in attendance, or the high schoolers getting to be away at CIY as I write this, this Summer has been off to a great start!

Looking to the future, fun-lovers of all ages have got something to look froward to:

Amanda has kids & families covered with Summer Hangouts and I’ve got teens covered with A TON of midweek activities getting announced this weekend.

Young Adults have got their first of a series of opportunities to hang out coming up on June 30th at Arsenal Lanes - Lawrenceville.

And adults of all ages have Pickleball, Pilates, and Bible Studies on a regular basis!

Speaking of Pilates, we’ve got Pilates at 7PM tonight for a suggested donation of $10 per class!

That’s all from me! Hope y’all are staying cool and staying safe!

See you Sunday!

Brandon

In Matthew 13, Jesus shares a parable where He uses a farmer planting seeds as a picture of faith and living life in God’s kingdom… but this story and its application is far richer and far more challenging than a simple children’s Sunday School storybook. Join us this series as we look at life lessons from the Lord of the harvest about things like hard hearts, resistant soil, choked-out growth, thorns, and what health & flourishing can look like.

NHCC YOUNG ADULTS | If you are college age thru 30-ish, we are launching ongoing opportunities for YOU to connect! We’d love to have you join us on Tuesday, June 30th at Arsenal Lanes in Lawrenceville from 6-8pm for a fun evening out to meet up with friends and make some new ones in a relaxed setting. $20 covers shoes and all you can bowl.

SUMMER HANGOUT | Join Amanda this summer for a family hangout with your kids of all ages! Kids can play together and parents can get to know each other. All parks have various courts or other entertainment nearby for older kids. Email Amanda to express interest and receive weekly reminder emails, but no registration required- you can just show up!

SUMMER STUDY | This summer, we’ll take a closer look at those in the Bible who were called  ‘friends of Jesus’, and what we might expect if we are to be called His friends today. Starts June 3, Wednesdays at 7pm at the home of Debbie Harrington.

PICKLEBALL | Join us select Thursdays from beginning June 11th, from 7-9pm at Devlin Park in McCandless 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. If interested, email Amanda to get on the mailing list.

MEAL PACK | On Sunday, July 12th, during our weekly service time, NHCC will partner with Lifeline Christian Mission to pack meals for our community Food Distribution Program. This event is appropriate for kids 3rd grade and higher to pack with their families; kids programming will be available for children up through 2nd grade. Don’t miss this important event!

SUMMER PILATES CLASSES | Join us Friday, June 12th, 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.

STUDENT NIGHTS | 9th-12th graders are invited to come Sunday nights from 6:30-8pm as we hang out, hear a message, and meet in small groups to build community and talk about Jesus. 6th-8th graders meet Sunday morning during our worship service. Questions? Contact Brandon.

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.

STUDENT HANGOUTS & STUDY | Calling all 6th-12th graders! Starting June 17th, join our summer-exclusive Wednesday evening hangouts from 6-8pm and Thursday Bible studies from 1-2:30pm. Grab a students calendar from the Welcome Table to stay in the loop.
