Announcements

LINK TREE – We know it’s hard to keep track of all the links to the various things happening at NMPC. For your convenience, we have created linktr.ee to house all of our important links. Be sure to visit linktr.ee/nmpc to check them out!

Christmas Gift drive – We are teaming up with Children's Aid & Family Services to bring LOVE and CHEER to local families! Join us in sending Christmas gifts to children by being a part of our Gift Drive.

Look out for the Christmas tree by the Connections Team on Sundays, and grab a "snowflake" card for info about the child you will be sending a gift to. Write a card, and attach it with the snowflake card to the gift you purchase. Leave your gift unwrapped, and bring it to the church office by Saturday, December 9^th.

We believe this is a fantastic way to spread the spirit of God's generosity and His care to people in our area. Let's joyfully give together!

Christmas Sing-a-long (12/17) – We're excited to announce our 2nd Annual Christmas Sing-A-Long. Mark your calendars and join us for a time of community, fellowship, and Christmas spirit! There will also be a special music performance by Grammy winning Ilmar Gavilan and family. 

MEMBERSHIP CLASS (12/3) – Whether you want to become an official member or you just want to find out more about the church, join us at our next membership class (Dec 3, after service). Together, we'll continue to build NMPC to be the kingdom-advancing community God wants us to be. Sign up at this link!

Baptism & Confirmation Class (12/3) – For those who want to get baptized or confirmed or have their children baptized, please fill out this registration form.

Advent Devotional starts (12/3) – Pick up your copy of the advent devotional, The Eternal King Arrives, at the welcoming table today. A digital copy is also available for download.

Scripture

Acts 14:8-10

¹¹ Now on his way to Jerusalem, Jesus traveled along the border between Samaria and Galilee. ¹² As he was going into a village, ten men who had leprosy met him. They stood at a distance ¹³ and called out in a loud voice, “Jesus, Master, have pity on us!”

¹⁴ When he saw them, he said, “Go, show yourselves to the priests.” And as they went, they were cleansed.

¹⁵ One of them, when he saw he was healed, came back, praising God in a loud voice. ¹⁶ He threw himself at Jesus’ feet and thanked him—and he was a Samaritan.

¹⁷ Jesus asked, “Were not all ten cleansed? Where are the other nine? ¹⁸ Has no one returned to give praise to God except this foreigner?” ¹⁹ Then he said to him, “Rise and go; your faith has made you well.”
