Nova Class: Redeeming Our Time

Our schedules are overwhelming. Even with the countless time-management resources available to us, our ability to find balance between work and life can feel fruitless. But when we look at the lifestyle of Jesus, we see an example of what it looks like to be efficient while finding balance. In this study we’ll look at principles rooted in the example of Jesus that will help us use the time we have in the best way, not just to manage our time but to redeem our time.




Hands of Mercy

Each year, the people of Nova come together to build a house for someone who needs one in Ensenada, MX. On Saturday 4/5 we will build the frame of the house in Nova's parking lot. All people of all ages are welcome to join us for this!


Then, a team of Nova people will take the frame down to Mexico and complete the build. This trip will be 4/25 - 4/27.


To sign-up for one or both builds, and more information, please visit the HOM booth at Nova after Sunday Morning Worship, or click HERE.
