Where Were You?

We were hoping to see you
for the Annual Meeting this past Sunday!

You missed great food...
great fellowship...
great news about the new building!



Unfortunately, the kids won't wait forever...
so the food is gone.
But the fellowship and new building
will be awaiting your next visit to
210 Southport Drive!

We Gathered

Beginning our Soup & Song Supper with an art project,
Doug instructed one and all present on how to construct
a star for the blessing tree.

All hands, big and little, began cutting, writing and folding!





Each finishing their star with the name of a blessing...



on the tree they went! Hanging each with care, the blessing tree was complete!

T.E.A.

Cold outside?

Get the tea kettle a brewin'!
Sure, you can drink your sermon notes...
Just keep the wrapper in a safe place!




Doug delivered his gift to everyone
during last Sunday's teaching: a tea bag.

A woman is like a tea bag - you can't tell how strong she is until you put her in hot water.
Nancy Reagan

Suggesting that this is true for all humans, not only women, each was instructed to jot down the acrostic on the wrapper to remind us to keep our heads cool when in hot water.

T- Trust our Heavenly Father
E- Every word
A-Amen




We know that it's not if the hot water is coming, but when!
Let your faith prepare you.

Gospel Fuzzies

Children's Ministry

What is black allover?
Has 5 heads each of their own color...
And only moves when a lil' hand created by God enters in?

A Gospel Fuzzy, of course!



Sing with the children, now...

We're the Gospel Fuzzies,
We're the Gospel Fuzzies,
We're the Gospel Fuzzies
we've a sing to sing!

Gold stands for Heaven,
Gold stands for Heaven,
Gold stands for Heaven
where I want to go!

Dark means I'm a sinner,
Dark means I'm a sinner,
Dark means I'm a sinner
and I can't get in!

Red means Jesus died,
Red means Jesus died,
Red means Jesus died
and He rose again!

Clean means I'm forgiven,
Clean means I'm forgiven,
Clean means I'm forgiven
when I follow Him!

Green means I'm Growing,
Green means I'm Growing,
Green means I'm Growing
when I trust in Him!

Christmas Basket Assembly

AKA: Cooking Tasting Party

The NCC ladies have a tradition of making holiday baskets
for seniors in our church family.
Please bring fruit, individual snacks, quick breads, sugar free items, etc.
to stuff the baskets with offerings of love and goodies!



Also, this year, we will be sharing our favorite Christmas cookies with recipes.
So get to baking and come hungry!

First Saturday Prayer

December 5th

Here's the simple guide for your prayer time on Saturday
that we'll be joining with other congregations in lifting up:

Remember that we are encouraged to pray for everyone
and especially those in authority over us. (I Timothy 2: 1-8)



1. Their salvation
2. Their knowledge of God's truth
3. God's mercy upon them
4. Give thanks for all that God is doing

Creativity

You've got it.
It may be hidden.
It may be part of your everyday living.
But you have it.

And you can thank your creator for it!
CREATIVITY!

Yulia Brodskaya.

CHEESE!

Brush your teeth,
wear your clean shirt,
and say CHEESE!



You may be one of the many families finding themselves targets
of the camera lens at NCC this month!

We would love to add you to our bulletin board of family.
So glad to call you Brother in the Family of God.
