More Than a Schedule Change—A New Chapter of Outreach
Small pumpkins were provided to you last week after worship at North Point Church. These are part of our invite-a-friend or neighbor outreach effort that we are doing to publicize our upcoming transition to two church services on November 2 (8:30 and 10:30 am). Along with the pumpkin was a handout and we hope you will share with community members this week. We will be handing out more this Sunday after service for you to share. The truth is that this is not just a one time effort but the first step in creating a culture of 'invitation, welcome, and hospitality'. As disciples, our call is not only to be 'keepers of the aquarium' (the church) but 'fishers of men and women'. Thank you for all you do to make North Point Church a blessing to our community and world in Jesus' name. Blessings, Pastor Rob |

New Small Group: PRACTICING THE WAY Coming Sundays, October 12th until December 7th. Please join us in a spiritual journey to grow close to Jesus, to walk more specifically in His way. It’s not that people do not want to become like Jesus, or that people aren’t trying to become like Jesus. It’s that we don’t know how to become like Jesus. We need a pathway of formation for the modern era. Please join us for an 8 week exploration into what it may look like when we follow Him with heart, mind, body, and soul. After worship on Sundays at the Next Door. There will be a sign up sheet in the foyer on top of the piano. Any questions please email jann.stimac@gmail.com.

However, their programs are not just for low income residents. They also offer services like financial/business education and veteran assistance.
