NEW START TIME FOR CHAPEL SERVICE - 8:30 AM
 
MEMORIAL DAY
Church office closed.
Monday, May 26
 
NHC's CAPITAL CAMPAIGN
Pray for our church. Pray for the success of our  campaign to expand our chapel and to reduce our debt.
 
EARLY SERVICES MERGER
JUNE 22
The 8:30 services will merge into one service beginning Sunday, June 22. This is being done because (1) the service in the chapel is at capacity and unable to grow, and (2) the chapel will not be accessible when we begin construction, hopefully in late summer or early fall. The one 8:30 service will be held in the Worship Center. This service will be traditional. It will be very similar to the service that is presently held in the chapel. This will give us three distinct worship-style options: traditional at 8:30, contemporary at 9:45, and blended praise and worship at 11:00. Thank you for your patience, support, and understanding.
 
YOUTH WORK SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM
There are so many ways for youth to be involved in our youth ministry, and many youth would like the opportunity to earn the money that it takes to go to an event. But we need your help! You can sponsor the youth program by giving a monetary donation or work opportunity to the youth work program. Contact Becky at beckyc@nhumc.org for details to hire a youth or sponsor a youth to do a job.
 
WELCOME CENTER
Visitors are invited to stop by the table located at the front of the Worship Center after each service. We have information, Bibles, and a special gift for first-time guests. Members of the church, along with one or more of our pastors, will be there to introduce themselves to you.
