Fall Fellowship BBQ

We came.


We worshiped Jehovah.


We boldly petitioned His throne.


We made a joyful noise unto The Lord, our God.


We ate.


Oh, that's the drink station...and the whole hog BBQ and fixins were so good...
we ate em all before we could post a picture.
Forgive us. We did use our manners.
We did thank God before partaking...
next time we'll use the camera, too!

Stay-tuned to hear the God-stories
from your brothers and sisters
in Christ!
And get yours ready...
We know He is working!

We Gathered

There are times of family
and food that are sweet,
and this was one of them.

November's Praise & Pie brought blessings
to all who shared their time.

Trumpet praises...



Tambourine temptations...



Friends gathering around hymnals...



Children deciphering hymnals...



Puppets praises...



and with just as much delight, the pie-eating!









For a time such as this,
connecting with the family of God.

Praise & Pie

Sunday, November 7th
6:30pm at the church.

Bring your favorite pie to share
and sing your favorite hymns...
well, NOT AT THE SAME TIME!

Quilting Ministry Gifting

Having a baby?
Part of our local family of God?
This could be YOU!

Meet the first in a long line of treasures that
God will bless to our church family...



Baby Aniya Rose and her quilt gifting.



To celebrate this heritage from the Lord!
May the quilting continue!
May His children be blessed.

Lions on the Loose

Reports of local citizens spotting lions on the loose.
It all begin in Daniel chapter 6...



These boys reportedly listened to an account of the work
of the Living God, and got down-right rowdy about His power!



They each testified to trust that the SAME GOD who could send an ANGEL
to close the mouths of hungry lions,
could CARE about their daily lives
and desire a relationship with them.

We're signing off,
saying that the same goes for YOU!
God cares about you, loves you,
and will provide for you...will you let Him?

Questions? Consult Daniel chapter 6 in your Holy Bible.

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.

Even Cool Guys Need Friends

Yes, there is an opportunity at hand:

There are many international students
who have not experienced Thanksgiving.
They may be alone without family at this time,
but the family of God is close by.

Will you prayerfully consider
sharing the true meaning
of God's blessings with one of these
international students
this Thanksgiving?



Yes, they will surely be as cool and as this lil' guy!

To Haiti We Go

Yes, you have heard Pastor Doug say that we are a fellowship.
Fellowship: 2 or more fellows in the same ship. When one of us is going through a trial, we all are. When one of us is jobless, we all are. When one of us is recovering from addiction, we all are. When one of is receiving cancer treatments, we all are. When one of us is rejoicing for a blessing, we all are!

And this week, on Wednesday, September 9, we are sending 4 of our brothers and sisters to Haiti, thus, we all are going!



Please take time to pray the fruit of gentleness be harvested in each of them as they go to share in the work of Christ. Blessings to Kay, Ellen, Feisal and Wayne.

Guest Speaker

Todd Hutchison brought the message to our congregation on Sunday. Finishing his last month of his sabbatical from Westlink Christian in Wichita,Todd asked each of us about our sense of urgency. Here are the four questions that he asked us to write down, as he asks himself these often... so go ahead! The truth shall set you free!

1- Do I believe that the message of Jesus really matters? And, how will I live my life to show this to be true?

2- Do I believe that the message of Jesus has the power to save?

3- Do I believe that God can use me to share His message?
