Thank You for Supporting the Joni and Friends Walk & Roll!
A huge thank you to everyone who supported, donated, and prayed for this year's Joni and Friends Walk & Roll! Our NLBC team of 13 walkers helped raise $1,300, contributing to an incredible $87,000 total raised at the event!
These funds will provide scholarships for families affected by disability to attend Family Retreats and Marriage Retreats, and will also help provide wheelchairs for people in other countries who would otherwise not have access to one.
Thank you for being the hands and feet of Jesus and helping bring hope through hardship to individuals and families impacted by disability!
Food Pantry
We may have some extra families coming to the food pantry due to SNAP benefits being unavailable in November. Some more donations would be a big help! Thank you!
Please see the updated food pantry list of needs. They are in bold.
There is need for another volunteer for the food pantry. Let Rob or Karen Rice know if you are interested.
Annual Meeting
Mark your calendars! The Annual Meeting will be Wednesday November 12th. The meeting will start at 6:30pm. Come at 6:00 to have a snack and look over the report.
This Sunday, grab a packet at the back of the church to read up on the annual meeting items that will be voted on and some more info.
Ministry Opportunities
We have some areas of service and ministry within the church that need to be filled. Would you pray about how you could help?
