Easter is Over - Now What?!

Easter Sunday is a Sunday jam-packed with life. A full church, great music, the sense of celebration, happy, smiling people. You can't help but feel joyful. But then comes the Sunday after Easter and we're left with the question, "Ok, now what?" This Sunday we'll dream a bit about what comes next. 

In your life. In the life we share together.

 Watch Sunday's Service Online, Live @ 9:00 AM EDT

Join us in live, online worship this Sunday at 9:00 am. 

You can find the service on Facebook Live or on our YouTube channel.

Flowering the Cross

This Easter Sunday we continued a new tradition that we began last year. It comes from the 6^th century where people would come up and place a flower on the cross. This was to symbolically transform what was a symbol of death into a symbol of life. 

Everyone loved being part of this new NUC tradition.
