Women's Bible Study - Revelation
Meeting on Monday evenings @ 6:30pm, here at Nova. Begins October 21st.
Two
thousand years ago, John's Revelation was circulated and read aloud among seven
churches in Asia Minor. Those who heard the letter understood it and were
encouraged by its message. The same can be true for you today. This study will
help you discover how the last book of the Bible - the culmination of God's
great story - speaks both a steadying word of assurance and a strong call to
endure to the church in every age.
For more information, please contact Susan Welch: jswelch6@gmail.com
Japan Mission Trip Report
Sunday, October 13th -- 12:00pm @ Nova
The Japanese are the second least-reached people group in the world, and we want as many people as possible to know how our Japanese Christian brothers and sisters are serving the Lord in the church settings. Come and hear from Eri and Jeff Erickson about Nova's recent Japan Mission Trip. A light lunch will be served.
Falloween Fest
Nova's annual Falloween Fest will be Sunday, 10/27, from 5-7pm. Join us for a time of trunk-or-treating, bounce houses, food, and an outdoor showing of "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown." Invite your friends and family, it's always a great time!
To make this as fun of an event as possible, we need as many Nova people as possible to sign up to decorate their cars and pass out candy during the Trunk-or-Treat. If you would like to sign up, please email Garrett Koch at garrettkoch@novachurch.org . Note: you must sign up with Garrett to participate in the trunk-or-treat.
Choir
Choir has started back up for the Fall season! Wednesday evenings at 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! Rehearsals are on Wednesday evenings at Nova.

Nova Class -- Joseph: When Life's A Rollercoaster
Join us as we peel back the layers of Joseph’s astonishing life as told in Genesis, encouraging us to live the dream even when life’s a nightmare.

Be inspired by the power of forgiving the unforgivable, stewarding influence for the greater good, finishing strong, and leaving a legacy that lasts.
