Announcements & Updates
for Sunday, November 16, 2025
- Combined Thanksgiving Service – On Sunday, November 23, we will be joining together for worship with the two church plants that meet in our church’s chapel: Word of Hope Community Church and Desire of Nations Church. This will be a special Thanksgiving-themed service. The service will be at 10:30 AM in the sanctuary. Our 9:00 AM small groups and Sunday School classes will meet as normal.
- Senior Ministry Luncheon – We’re excited to announce the relaunch of Northwest’s Senior Ministry! Join us as we kick things off with a Senior Luncheon on Tuesday, November 11, at 11:30 AM in the Fellowship Hall. If you’re 62 or older, this ministry is for you! We’d love for you to enjoy a time of sweet Christian fellowship and a delicious meal with us. It’s a wonderful opportunity to reconnect, make new friends, and celebrate this new season of ministry. Feel free to invite a friend. Please sign up in the Foyer to let us know you’ll be joining us—we can’t wait to see you there!
- Missions Movie Night – How does anyone live an abundant, victorious Christian life in our world’s toughest places? Join the missions team on Saturday, November 15 at 6:00 PM in the Fellowship Hall as we seek to answer this question by watching The Insanity of God, a movie addressing the joy and sacrifice of persecuted Christians around the world. It will encourage us to live wholeheartedly on our side of the world and support them in prayer as we both live fully for Christ in our contexts. Bring a snack to share. You will also have the opportunity to join a Christmas gift exchange. Contact Melissa Springer if you have questions.
- Wednesday Night Prayer – Join us on Wednesday evenings at 6:00 PM in the Administration Building as we pray for Christ’s active presence in our church and our community.
- The Disciple’s Path: Requesting a Path Partner – Is it time to take the next step in your walk with Christ? Path Partners are brothers and sisters in the faith who will support you in your spiritual growth over the next year. Together, you’ll explore the six Pathways and foster a relationship that could extend long beyond. Request cards are located on The Disciples Path Backpack bookcase in the foyer, and on this online request form. Once filled out, Pastor Paul will reach out to connect you with your Path Partner.
