CURRENT NEWS

Children ages 3 years old through 5th grade are invited to join us for VBS this year (July 8-10, 6-8pm). This event is FREE and we are excited to spend 3 fun-filled evenings learning about how Jesus is the light of the world! Registration is open here.

Bring your friends! Handouts are available in the Lobby.

July 5 - Getting ready for VBS
There will not be elementary children’s church during the service on July 5. After the July 5 service there will be a church-wide effort to help get the building ready for VBS. Lunch will be provided.

SummerFest 2026 - July 11

SummerFest is almost here, and we're looking forward to gathering with our church family and guests for a great evening of fun and fellowship!

Help us spread the word! Be sure to pick up a postcard from the foyer and invite your family, friends, neighbors, coworkers, and anyone else you can think of. These two-sided cards include information for both VBS and SummerFest, making them an easy way to invite others. Our goal is to have every postcard picked up by this Sunday, June 28th and put into someone's hands - please help us reach that goal!!

Volunteers: Watch for an email from the Andertons with event details and instructions. If you don't see it by Sunday (6/28), please check your spam or junk folder.

We also have a few remaining volunteer needs, particularly with the meal and event cleanup. Tracy Bashore is looking for a few additional people to help serve and clean up following the meal. Please contact him directly here or let us know at tinyurl.com/NCCFest this week! 

Another need is for more people willing to help with cleanup after the event. Many of our volunteers will have been serving throughout the evening, so having some fresh faces stay afterward to help tear down and clean up would be a tremendous blessing. If you can help with this, please sign up this week at tinyurl.com/NCCFest 

NOTE: Due to SummerFest there will not be a Saturday evening service on July 11.
