Would you like to learn more about mental health? Would you value connecting with others? Sign up for The Sanctuary Course and explore a topic that is more relevant than ever. Topics covered include: mental health and mental illness, stigma, the recovery journey, companionship, self-care, and the role of community. Each theme is covered from a psychological, social, and theological angle, and each session includes a short film that tells the story of a person of faith with mental health challenges.

Mondays, January 12 to March 2
7-8:30pm at the church
Facilitated by Marlo Hamer-Jackson and Andrew Metcalfe

We are pleased to report that the resolution to use church reserves to front a housing loan for our Lead Pastor passed at the November 23, 2025 Special Meeting.  Many of you came out to vote and we are grateful for your high level of support & engagement.

As this resolution passed, the church is now able to accept donations from anyone who wishes to contribute to this project. For those of you who have generously pledged funds, you are now free to fulfill your pledges at your convenience. Please indicate on any donations that they are for Lead Pastor Housing and our Finance team will ensure they are allocated to this initiative.

Thank you again for your support, and may God bless your generosity!

Sincerely,

The NSAC Board of Elders

Huge thanks to our NSAC OCC25 Team, Davida Witala, David & Christina Olson, who have served Jesus so faithfully in this mission.  We collected 1,723 shoeboxes and 82 cartons were loaded by youth volunteers onto the Samaritan’s Purse truck last Sunday.  Boxes this year will go to the Philippines, Ukraine, Senegal, The Gambia, Guinea-Bissau, Cape Verde, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, and El Salvador.  Please pray every box will bless the child who receives it and give them a chance to hear the Gospel Message. You can still pack a box online until the end of the year.  Click the link below to watch a short video from Samaritan's Purse.
