A friendly reminder from Children's Worship

We are excited that so many of our Preschool–2nd graders are coming to Children's Worship! Don't forget: if you are joining us for Children's Worship, come to the check-in desk before you go to worship with mom and dad, and let us know so Ms. Charli can print your tag ahead of time.

Trunk or Treat

Trunk or Treat on Sunday, October 25, 5–7 p.m. It's a safe, fun, fall event for the church family and the surrounding community. All are encouraged to participate. Wear your best costume, bring a bag for candy, and make plans to join us! If you would like to host a trunk or need more information, email Ms. Coco at children@nscoc.org.

Trailblazers: Following the Guide that Never Fails
What Are We Learning?

Our curriculum, “Brite,” teaches children they belong to a God who loves them while developing their beliefs through fun themes as they become disciples of him. In October, through fun, hiking-themed activities, students will learn from the book of Judges that even when people fail God and each other, God will never fail them.
