Nova Class: The Book of Jude


Contending for the Faith in a Rebellious Culture

How do we stay close to Jesus, even when threatened by doubt, deception, or the culture around us? This question is as relevant for us today as it was for the early church. This study will take us through the book of Jude, a letter that reminds us that staying faithful to God is an active part of the Christian life. Join us as we learn to trust the God who calls us, loves us, and keeps us as we strive to stand firm in our faith.



Choir
Choir is in full swing for the Fall season! Rehearsals are Wednesday evenings at Nova @ 7:00pm.
Nova's choir is a wonderful ministry, blending together voices and music for our worship services and for special events throughout the year. Whatever your level of experience, you are invited to join Nova's choir! For more information, please contact our choir director, Donna D'Amico (310-329-5262).
