Youth Minister Candidate Visit
Since December of last year, we have been seeking God’s leading in who he is calling to be our next Youth Minister NSCBC. The Search Team is excited to share that we will be having a candidate come for an in-person (socially distanced) visit over the last weekend of this month, Fri-Sun, June 26-28.
There also will be chance for the church at large to “meet” him over Zoom on Sunday, June 28 (more info coming), and ask questions as well. This Friday, we’ll be sending a video introducing you to him, as well as additional information about him as a candidate. Please be praying for this exciting opportunity.

Sometimes we feel as though talking about our faith is taboo or offensive. Sometimes we are just unsure how to take conversations with new friends to the next level. Meaningful conversations are an essential part of forming deep and honest friendships. During a short, 40-minute course on Sundays, June 14 & 21, Pastor Ben will help us consider how to engage in spiritual conversations, which includes listening, asking good questions, and articulating our faith. Join us over Zoom before services at 9am. Click
here to join.

"The entire narrative of Scripture is about a God who is consistently and sacrificially moving towards hard places and broken people. He is a God of proximity...Sometimes our prayers for more "clarity" are answered with a call for more proximity. From a distance we say, "God show me the way!" and He responds with, "Just move closer and you'll see. A lot of your questions about fostering are only answered through this kind of proximity. " (Jason Johnson,
Reframing Foster Care
)
Are you burdened by the foster care crisis and would you like to learn about how you can respond by being part of a team of support for another family who is currently fostering?
Our friends at
Fostering Hope
have created a model of support that allows us to be part of the response to the foster care crisis even if we aren't becoming foster parents ourselves. On Wednesday, June 24 at 7PM, you are invited to a training on how to be part of a Wraparound/Support One team. The training will be facilitated by Travis Shultz from Antioch Church in Beverly and Lianna Sours. This training will prepare you so that you are ready to go when there is a new foster family in our church who needs you or there is a foster family from another church or even outside the church that we have the opportunity to support.
Please reach out to
Lianna
or
Travis
if you have any questions, would like to talk about this further or would like to attend the meeting!

Children's Ministry Update
|
We regret that, due to the current pandemic circumstances, we will not be able to conduct our traditional Vacation Bible School (VBS) at NSCBC this summer. Our Children’s Ministry team is exploring other potential options for children’s discipleship this summer that would align with government restrictions, as well as our church’s values. We will keep you informed if we are able to move forward with a different summer program for our kids. If you have any questions, contact our Director of Children’s Ministry,
Genesia Christensen
