A four-week study with Steve Cuss—The Expectation Gap—is coming this January!
If you enjoyed our night with Steve, get ready to go deeper with him in this study. Stay tuned for details!

The Christmas season fills up fast, so go ahead and mark your calendars for our upcoming Leader Drop-In! Stop by the Gallery at NPCC on Sunday, December 7 between 8:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. to say hi to your Groups Director and enjoy a little Christmas cheer. We can’t wait to celebrate the season with you!

Bring a Future Leader: Know someone who’d make a great group leader? Now’s the perfect time to invite them along! Introduce them to your Groups Director at the Drop-In. We’d love to meet them and share how they can join our mission to inspire others to follow Jesus.

Do you or does someone in your group need extra support this holiday season? Our Care Department is offering two special events:

• Navigating the Holidays - for those who are divorced or separated
   📅 In person on November 20
• Restoring Christmas - for those who’ve lost someone
   💻 Digital event — link sent December 4 to registrants

Invite someone in your group who could use encouragement and hope this season.

As we head into the holiday season, we encourage you to take time to prepare your heart for the meaning of Christmas. The She Reads Truth / He Reads Truth Advent 2025: Tidings of Comfort and Joy reading guide is available for purchase as either a physical book or a digital resource.

This five-week guide helps you slow down and engage with the story of Advent—creating space to read, reflect, and find comfort and joy in the season.

“Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures forever.”—Psalm 107:1 (NIV)

Heavenly Father, thank you for the gift of community and for the faithful hearts of our small group leaders. This Thanksgiving, we’re especially grateful for their dedication, wisdom, and love. Thank you for the time they give, the prayers they lift, and the care they show. Bless them richly as they inspire others to follow Jesus. May they feel appreciated, refreshed, and deeply loved—by us and by you. In Jesus’s name, amen.
