NLF Pumpkin Patch:
Calling all NLF folks! As the weather is starting to change so is the outside decor! Our Connect – Preteens will be having a “pumpkin patch” here at the church for the next couple of Sundays. As you are looking forward to planning and decorating around your homes, please consider taking a look at our pumpkins to fulfill your needs. The Connect Pumpkin Patch has outdoor fall decor available for you to purchase by donation. They are raising funds to be able to “adopt some kids/families” at Christmas. Thank you for considering us for your pumpkin decor!

Women’s Bible Studies Relaunch:
We are happy to announce that our women’s Bible Studies will resume this fall. Bible study will begin on Monday, September 21st. There will be a morning session (Gideon, Your Weakness, God’s Strength: Priscilla Shirer) from 9:45-11:45am and an evening session (20:20 Seen, Chosen, Sent: Christine Caine) from 6:30-8:00pm. The plan is to restart the Bible studies on Lesson 1 since only two weeks were completed before the pandemic began. If you already have a Bible study book and want to be a part of the study, mark your calendar and join us on Monday, September 21st. If you do not have a book and wish to be part of the Bible study, please contact Mary Bultemeier.

Our youth (7th-12th grade) are meeting on Wednesday evenings at the church from 6:30-8:30pm. The students are served a meal at 6:30, followed by their ministry time from 7-8:30pm. Pastor Jordan is in need of a few more small group leaders for the student ministry. If you have a heart to invest in teens lives or would like more information, please contact Jordan Pearson.

Now that we are using the church building on a regular basis, we are ready to start up our cleaning teams again. We are in need of several more volunteers to serve on the cleaning teams. If you would be willing to serve in this capacity, please contact our facility manager, Barry Wiard.
