PRAYER SUNDAY

Sunday, November 17

Are you new to prayer? Are you beginning to recognize the power of prayer? Are there things going on in the world that you know need prayer? Every month, we set a special time aside to quiet our minds and pray together as a church family. We pray for NEC, the community and other world events. We meet in the Youth Room. There is no pressure to pray out loud, do only what is comfortable for you. If you have been curious, if you have felt a nudge to explore prayer, we invite you to join us on the third Sunday of the month. Also, please know our prayer team is here to pray with and for you every Sunday in the prayer area (door left of the stage). It is confidential. It is powerful.

Prayer Sunday - every 3rd Sunday of the month between services in the Youth Room. All are welcome! 

WOMEN’S WINTER GETAWAY

Jan. 24-26, 2025

Picture a table. Is there a seat for you?

A sense of belonging is one of our greatest needs in life and God wants our table to be bigger than we can imagine. 

The table is set. It is extravagant. And it is full of love. Take your seat.

Join us for a winter getaway. Think warmth, cozy, fun, reflection and community. Visit our table in the lobby this Sunday to learn more!

Come for the weekend or just a day. Single rooms available.

Pathways to a Better Life are looking for volunteers to staff their shelter this winter.

Two mission trips are coming up in 2025. Read more at nechapel.org/missions25
