WEEKLY NEWS
April / 6 / 2020
In our current sermon series we’ve been reflecting on what a gospel-shaped community looks like and how we can serve those in need. Join us tonight for an online discussion about practical ways we can serve the most vulnerable around us.  Click this link to join a Zoom conversation at 7:30pm tonight.
Join us on Friday, April 10, at 7pm at nscbc.org/live for a Good Friday Service, which will include music and reflections on the seven last words of Jesus.
We look forward to celebrating Easter during our livestream service this Sunday at 10am! We will be reflecting on the Lord as our Refuge and the hope we have in him because of the resurrection. We hope you can join us and encourage you to invite a friend to tune in, as well, at  nscbc.org/live .

We will also be sharing communion this Sunday. Please read this letter from Pastor Bobby which outlines the significance of communion, why we have chosen to take it at this time, and how to practically prepare for it.
