Today is July 1 and it seems that during this month around here we are focused on our biggest event for the month all month long. VBS!!! Really VBS might be one of the biggest events for the entire year. It takes weeks of preparation, a multitude of volunteers, and hours of work. This morning stop what you are doing and volunteer to make this a memorable year. Right now, we are in need of VBS teachers especially! There are several blank spots that are open and we need you to place your name down to help. The material will be 
provided and the reward for teaching kids is immeasurable. We also need people to plan to help during the VBS work week. Our work nights will be scheduled on Tuesday, July 19th and 21st. Come help on those nights and we will even provide dinner for you and your family. Everyone needs to be involved in VBS for it to work as well as it has. It’s gonna be a great week. I hope you are inviting your family and friends to join us to see what God sees!!!
During this month we also have two opportunities to enjoy listening in on a conversation that your preachers have with a guest preacher about things that are ETERNAL. On Sunday evening we have Noah Icenhour as a guest to talk with us about God’s ETERNAL PLAN of redemption. 
Then on July 17 we will have Dean Fugett with us to talk about the ETERNAL CHURCH. Join us on Sunday and on July 17th for these wonderful opportunities to learn and be challenged. We will have a great time of fellowship with snacks and refreshments provided.
Finally, make sure to plan to join us for our 5th Sunday Potluck on July 31st for a Southern Comfort Food Potluck meal. Bring Fried chicken, ham and beans, pork chops, taters, cornbread, and fresh veggies. There will be wonderful sweet desserts and more than anything wonderful sweet fellowship and love!
Make sure to pick up an NHCOC Newsletter and stick it on your fridge to remind you of all thing things we have going on and how you can be involved! This is an ALIVE church and it is a joy to be together!
