All Together Service & Pancake Breakfast

This Sunday, June 28

after service

This Sunday is All Together Sunday! Kids will join their families in the main service as we worship, laugh, learn, and grow together. It's a great opportunity for children to experience what Sunday worship is all about and for our church family to celebrate every generation together.

Stick around for our 4th of July pancake breakfast immediately following service. We are so grateful to our SOS team for serving as hosts this year! Come hungry!

ANNUAL SERVE DAY

THIRD STEP: START SMALL

Have you prayed about becoming a part of our $75K Match Challenge? Have you talked to someone about it? If the answer is yes, how about starting small.

On May 3, two NECers gave our community a chance to respond to the message on generosity. Out of a love for their church, they challenged us to give regularly to NEC, promising to match up to $75,000 of new or increased recurring donations through August 31. Their hope is that it would both help people practice generosity and provide for the practical financial needs of the church at the same time.

On Sunday, we’ll give you an update on the progress. Thanks everyone!
