Sunday Service at NCC - Earth Day Celebration

Come join us Sunday mornings for an enlightening sermon by Reverend Jeff Utter, engaging children's activities, and special music with a variety of guest soloists!

Communion Sunday is the first Sunday of each month, and Healing Touch Sunday is the third Sunday of each month.  Sunday Morning Childcare is available each Sunday from 9:45am to 11:45am.

Please save the date and join us for a special Sunday service at 10AM in our Sanctuary celebrating Earth Day.

Notes for Sunday's Service:

Just as it would be silly, and even blasphemous, to celebrate the resurrection of Christ without seeing it in the context of his crucifixion, so we in 2016 can't let ourselves celebrate Earth Day without letting the dire situation of our planetary web of life come to the fore of our consciousness.   Our growing awareness of the climate crisis is God's way of making it clear that we have to take responsibility on a whole new level for the Garden of Eden which is our planet--humanity's only home.  In the divine providence, every crisis is also an opportunity.  Thank God--because we are up against it now in a way we have never been before.  The Bible is clear, for instance in the Book of Revelation that sinful human overreach can threaten the earth itself.  The Church has to take the lead in witnessing to the profound changes and sacrifices which must be made by all human beings if we are going to have any kind of future.
