It’s called Bible Basics- building a framework for understanding the Bible. Don’t let the name fool you - this 3-week workshop will cover everything from the different parts of the Bible to discussing whether or not we should take the Bible literally. If you want to understand more about what the Bible is, why we have it, and what you should do with it, this course is for you!

    Feb 13th - What are the basic parts of the Bible? Is the Bible trustworthy?

    Feb 20th - How was the Bible put together? Should we take the Bible literally? Why should we read the Bible?

    Feb 27th - How do read the Bible?

    This class will be from 10am-12pm in Jackson St. Please come a few minutes early to enjoy some light refreshments!

A 7.0 earthquake hit right on a fault line six miles underground and ten miles southwest of Port-au-Prince and has devastated much of the country. Already 80% of Haitians live below the poverty line with 50% in abject poverty. If you have ever been to Haiti then you know much of the country’s infrastructure has been poorly constructed and is now decimated. The worst earthquake to hit the country in 200 years.

    As a church community we are encouraging everyone to give to Partners in Health. They are an organization that is already there and have the ability to help quickly. Please consider giving to help in this time of need.

    Some things to remember:
    1. Remember to sign up for IGNITE!!! It is going to be an amazing journey together as we grow in our faith and love together. The IGNITE theme for this year is DEEPER. WIDER. HIGHER. And I believe will really spur us on in our desire to be DEEPER. BOLDER. GETTING IN RHYTHM WITH GOD. Sign up at http://www.gcmignite.org/ Hope you can be a part of it!!!

    2. nlcf. Deeper. will be this coming Monday night (the first day of classes again for students). Don’t forget you’ covered dish if you’re from a HomeGroup. Come Hungry for some covered dish goodness! 7 pm @ Jackson St!

    3. Angel Tree: God, unlike the world, has always chosen to identify closest with those who are isolated and broken (Matthew 25:35-40). Prison Fellowship Ministry’s Christmas Angel Tree reaches out to prisoners and their families as both an act of service to Jesus and as a contribution to restoring peace and family bonds in broken and hurting families in our very own community. Prison Fellowship is a truly volunteer dependent ministry. If you would like to purchase a gift for a child we will have angels to pick up this Sunday in the services. Thank you NLCF for your tireless and continuing support to these families year after year…you are a beautiful example of Jesus’ love!

    4. The nlcf Christmas party is Monday, Dec. 7th. Stay tuned for more info!
