What's Happening at NMC: A Quick Update

Last night, I showed up to the Connection Gym at 6:00 p.m. to discover a packed house. Pastor Chris Knight and Pastor Dave are doing a study on the book of Revelation: "The End of the Beginning".
1 hour of teaching. Diving into the text. Keeping out of the speculative ditches. Chris nailed it as he laid down the groundwork in the first week. The study continues on Sunday nights through May 3 (break April 11 for Easter & April 25 for our volunteer appreciation event).

This Friday evening and Saturday morning, youth culture specialist Walt Mueller will be here for the "Understanding Today's Youth Culture Conference". This is going to be some top-notch training for parents and grandparents of teens and/or grade schoolers, teachers, youth workers, or anybody who has a passion to invest in this next generation! The ticket sales ended yesterday, but if your interested, you can contact me, and I just may be able to get you in!

Last Wednesday, we started a three week series for our Senior High titled "Homeland Security". In it we are looking at the battleground of the home. Here's the breakdown.
Last Wednesday: The Battleground. (Terry Bley) Laying out an ideal of a healthy family, and asking what the "threat level" for a family meltdown is at your home.
This Wednesday: Behind Enemy Lines(Brad Bullock) Looking at the dynamics living out your faith with a non-Christian parent and/or divorce situation.
Next Wednesday: The Battle Lines (me). Rules and regulations for healthy family conflict.
Terry started us of with some great nuggets of wisdom and insight. I'll post some of those thoughts in the next couple of days.


Some good stuff, and I didn't even get into our PhillyGO Evangelism training team, the location switch to the Dominican for our High School IMPACT team, Summer Camp (Brace Yourself) promotion being sent out, and a great Sunday Morning teaching series (God really moved yesterday).

I would like to believe that when "nuggets" is mentioned alongside Terry Bley we have been given a "snapshot" of a deeper meaning...
