During the Advent season, I will be using the "Revised Common Lectionary" (scripture passages chosen from the Hebrew Scriptures and New Testament by an ecumenical group of Christian denominations) to lead us through this special season.  Advent is meant to be much more than a 'nostalgic look back' at the Christmas story or a 'countdown to Christmas'.  Rather, the Advent season invites us to look backwards at how God first came to dwell with humanity in the birth of Christ while also looking forward to when Christ will come again.  This week, our readings will focus us on Christ's second coming and where many people find these verses to be confusing and chaotic, Jesus uses them to teach us some important lessons about living in perceived chaos.  I hope you will join us for the first Sunday of Advent, thoughtful worship, and a lesson on living in and through chaos.  

Blessings,
Pastor Rob

We invite you to take a walk through Christmas at North Point Church this holiday season. You’ll time travel back 2000 years to meet Mary and Joseph, Aunt Elisabeth and the angel Gabriel. You’ll transform into a heavenly host singing to some rowdy shepherds watching their flocks by night. Finally you’ll come to the place where the baby Jesus rests in a manger, and like the Magi, will have an opportunity to bring gifts that will honor Christ and bless the needy families of our community through the ministry of Fishline.

There will be an interactive craft station for kids as well as refreshments. Walk through anytime between 6pm to 8pm. Expect to spend approximately 25 minutes for one walk through. Suggested donation of $5/family or a non-perishable food donation (not required for entry). All proceeds and food will go to benefit Fishline Food Bank.

Don’t we all long for a Christmas that feels like we’d hoped Christmas should feel: warm, accepting, joyful and full of love: with the sounds of familiar carols and beautiful music; with harps and strings and and singers performing carols that promise peace on earth and good will to all people.

Join us at North Point on Saturday, December 16th at 6pm. Perhaps the concert, Candles, Carols and Choirs, will be just the thing to let the light of Christmas burn a little brighter in your life this holiday season. Whatever Christmas you’re living this year, we hope the hopes and fears of all the years will be met in Him that night.

Grieving? Missing someone this holiday? Away from home and loved ones? Feeling blue?  Together with other Kitsap County churches, we will have a worship service for people who find the season between Thanksgiving and Christmas difficult one to navigate because of the loss of a loved one, loneliness or other  Seasonal challenges.
