Christmas Eve: Candlelight and Carols -- December 24th @ 6:00pm
Invite your family, friends, and neighbors to our celebration of God’s greatest gift with songs, scripture, and special music.
New Nova Class: The Book of Hebrews -- begins January 5th
The book of Hebrews was written to people in crisis. They were persecuted, tempted by the rampant sin around them, and doubting their faith in Jesus. It was not so different than what many of us go through today.
Join us as we walk through Hebrews, learning how to live for Jesus in every season of life. Hebrews shows us that Jesus is better than anything the world can offer. We simply need to answer, “Am I willing to trust him above everything else?”
Women's Bible Study - Revelation
Meeting on Monday evenings @ 6:30pm, here at Nova.
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
