Deacon Resources during COVID-19
The purpose of the NSCBC Deacons is to serve the church through practical ministries of caring for the people of the congregation. As such, they want to make you aware of two ways that they are available to serve during this time of uncertainty.
  1. Our church’s Benevolence Fund, is available to help those with urgent financial needs. If you or someone you know is in need of financial support and would like to request aid, contact deacons@nscbc.org.
  2. If there is another need that you would like to make the deacons aware of, please fill out this form: NSCBC Community Care Request
Sermon Reflection Questions
During our current sermon series, we will continue to provide weekly sermon reflection questions for use by individuals, families, and groups. Here are the questions to help you think about and apply this week's sermon, "The Lord Gives Us Courage," from Psalm 108.
