At this one-day simulcast, we’ll give God time in our busy schedules to hear His voice, spend a day centering our hearts on His Word, and engage with women who, like you, believe God’s Word changes lives. Get ready to be replenished in your faith by learning from some of today’s top Bible teachers – women who are confident in the truth and relevance of God’s Word for our lives today. Cost: $25 – this includes snacks and a boxed lunch. We are unable to offer childcare for this event. Please register at npberean.org/register by 4/25 so we can make sure there will be lunch and a seat for you! Questions? Contact Jessica Stone (or email us).
This Thursday from noon to 1, believers are gathering at Bethel Church (2700 W. Philip Ave.) as part of the National Day of Prayer. Would you consider coming for as much time as you’re able or setting aside time to pray wherever you’ll be during the lunch hour that day? (For prayer ideas, see “National Day of Prayer Toolbox” at www.nationaldayofprayer.org.)
In July 2021, we participated in the Berean Fellowship of Churches approving an updated statement of the shared doctrine of all BFC churches, which our elders found our existing statement to be very much in sync with. Now, to make that connection even clearer, we've adopted the BFC statement as our official one, while keeping a simplified/summary version on our web site (which is basically our prior statement plus a few phrases to more clearly connect to the BFC one or that have been suggested by the body here at NPBC). Check out npberean.org/what-we-believe#we-believe if you're interested to see it, and feel free to contact any elder (or email us at elders@npberean.org) if you have questions.
We’re remembering and rejoicing in Jesus’ death and resurrection! A few key details:
Regular gathering times on Easter (4/9): 8, 9:15, & 11 a.m. and 6 p.m.
Enjoy photo booths, cinnamon rolls, and coffee in the 252 Room! (Help make it happen – sign up to bring a dozen cinnamon rolls: npberean.org/signup.)
Kids will be invited up to help lead us in singing “Jesus, Strong & Kind” – learn the song at npberean.org/song.
No Kids Connect (First Look or 252) on Easter – we’ll all join the celebration in the auditorium. An unstaffed nursery will be available, and we’ll livestream the gathering in both that area and The Commons for families whose little ones would find a more open/flexible space helpful.
On Good Friday (4/7), the church building will be open from noon to 7 p.m. for a self-directed time of reflection on Christ's sacrifice that brought redemption, the forgiveness of sins.
Between the coatrack and restrooms, we have a few cubbies for our main lost and found. We’ll be donating or discarding any unclaimed items on Monday, 3/20. Please stop by today to check for any items that belong to you!
We want to be a church empowered by God to make a difference in our community; we believe that begins with prayer. Join our prayer and worship gathering the 3rd Saturday of each month! Childcare provided.
