Announcements & Updates
for Sunday, March 15, 2026

  1. Missions Meeting – Come and join with other mission-minded people as we pray for missionaries and Christians worldwide. The next meeting is on Saturday, March 21, at 6:00 PM in the Fellowship Hall. Feel free to bring a snack to share.
      
  2. Holy Week – Bring your friends and family and celebrate Holy Week at Northwest, as we reflect on the path from Christ’s crucifixion to His resurrection. Holy Week begins with Palm Sunday on March 29. On Thursday, April 2, come and reflect on Jesus’ final meal with His disciples at our first United Maundy Thursday Service. During the Good Friday Outdoor Drama, see the reenactment of the crucifixion and the Roman soldiers begin their guard of the tomb through the weekend. On Saturday, April 4, we have an Eggstravaganza event for kids ages 4 through 5th grade. On Resurrection Sunday, discover the empty tomb at the outdoor drama, followed by a pancake breakfast, and gather for a special Resurrection Celebration Service in the sanctuary. For more details, visit nwbc-tosa.org/easter.
      
  3. Roman Guards – Do you want to know how you can be a witness to the surrounding community and share in the glory of what Christ has done for all on the cross? If so, sign up for a Roman Guard shift. This ministry has the potential to reach many that may never have heard the gospel and is a vital part of our Easter outreach. Multiple 3-hour shifts are available from Good Friday evening through Resurrection Sunday morning. Visit the table in the foyer to view available shifts and to sign up. Contact David Adam if you have questions.
      
  4. Eggstravaganza – Children ages 4 through 5th grade are invited to our Eggstravaganza event on Saturday, April 4, beginning at 10:30 AM. They will hear the Resurrection story told by Bible characters, do crafts, and leave with a gift bag. Registration opens at 10:00 AM or register online at nwbc-tosa.org/eggstravaganza. Free to the community. For more details, visit nwbc-tosa.org/easter. In preparation for the event, we are looking for donations of plastic Easter eggs and individually wrapped candy (peanut-free). These items can be dropped off in the collection bin in the foyer. Contact Aimee Frost if you have questions.
      
  5. Easter Scene – We are looking for people to help set up and take down the outdoor Easter scene. We will be setting up the scene on Saturday, March 28 at 7:30 AM and taking down the scene on Saturday, April 11 at 9:00 AM. Contact David Adam if you have questions. And don’t forget to bring your tools!
