Northbridge Family Meeting
There will be a church Family Meeting on Sunday, October 25 from 5:30-6:30pm. The elders will share reflections on NCC’s first year, provide updates on current work, future vision, and finalize the proposed bylaws with a vote of affirmation from the congregation. This meeting will also include a time for Q&A to ensure clarity is provided on any of the information shared.
Please take some time to review the Berean Fellowship Constitution and the Merged Bylaws Proposal and feel free to ask any clarifying questions of the elders in the weeks leading up to the Family Meeting. (Note: The Berean Fellowship Constitution is an established document that provides the foundation for our bylaws. The Merged Bylaws Proposal reflects the proposed bylaws for Northbridge Community Church.)
Prior to October 25, you can email the elders with any questions, or feel free to find any one of them before or after a worship service.
Donuts with Dad
Dads, want to spend some quality time with kids? Bring them to the Donuts with Dad Fall Fun Event on Saturday, October 31 at 9am. Enjoy fun, fall-themed games and activities while enjoying home-made donut holes with some delicious choices of sauces to inject into them! We will also have an object-lesson devotion that you will be able to do with your kids during the event.
Please register to help us plan the food and activities for the event.
Pause and Pray
November 7
Take a break from the noise and busyness of life. Come for a quiet time of prayer, reflection, and being in the presence of God.
Open House Style
Come when you can
Stay as long as you'd like
Whether you have 15 minutes or three hours, you are welcome to pause, pray, and draw near to God.
“Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you.” James 4:8
Mission Trip to Uganda
Please pray for the Cullen family and Leah Helgeson’s upcoming mission trip to Uganda, where they will focus on serving local youth through providing a Vacation Bible School program, repairs to the church basketball court, and delivering medical supplies. The group hopes to encourage the local church, share the love of Christ, and provide meaningful support to children and young people in the community. They ask for prayers, encouragement, and optional financial support through North Bridge Community Church’s Mission Donation Fund. Travel will be from November 19 - December 4.
As a part of their trip, the group will collect and bring quart-sized bags of thoughtfully packed items for the children they will be ministering to through VBS.
To participate, visit the Bags of Blessings table in the lobby following the Sunday morning service beginning in October for supplies and information!
*Please note that bags should be quart-sized and will need to be dropped off at the Bags of Blessings table in the lobby by Nov. 15!
OTHER NEWS
Update from the NCC Elders on the selection process for new elders:
The nomination period for new elders closed at the end of September and we received a number of nominations from the church family. We are now making contact with the nominees whom we feel the Lord is leading us to pursue further, and we will conduct interviews in November with any of those men who also feel God has them in a place where they are open to be considered to serve in this way. Please continue to be in prayer for this process and for the men who will be prayerfully considering this call themselves.
