Dedicating your child is more than five minutes on the stage one Sunday – it’s a journey that lasts a lifetime. Nobody has greater potential to impact a child’s spiritual development than you do! Your involvement in Family Dedication is a pledge to God and the congregation that you are serious about the task ahead of you. As a church, we want to join you in this dedication to building spiritually healthy homes.

Are you ready for this step of faith? If so, write “Family Dedication” on the OTHER line on your ConnectCard, and we’ll contact you with more information.

Fall GROW group season launches September 13What is your plan for growing in your relationship with Jesus Christ this fall? How will you lead others in this relationship, too? GROW groups are our primary strategy for pursuing this mission together here at NPBC. And we'd love to have you get involved! Here are three possibilities:

• Have a GROW group already? Contact the leader to firm up your fall plans.
• Have some connections here? Get in touch with Dan Smith, our Connection Director, to find out about the many ways we can support you in being intentional in those relationships to really GROW this fall.
• Not sure where to start? Go to tiny.cc/ggneeded to fill out the GROW group interest form (hard copy available at the information center), and we'll be in touch with some possibilities for you.

Sunday, September 20We want you to enjoy secure, reliable Internet access here at NPBC. One new security measure we’re rolling out is a more regular update of the Wi-Fi password, which will help protect your data and our network. The current password can always be found at the bottom of your bulletin. If your device doesn’t seem to be connecting, try “forgetting” the network and reconnecting as if for the first time. For help, contact Dan Smith.
