Announcements & Updates
for Sunday, October 4, 2026
- Quarterly Business Meeting – Church members, there will be a business meeting today following the worship service. The meeting will be held in the sanctuary.
- Beyond – On October 11, Northwest is taking a bold step into Beyond as we celebrate our 70-year anniversary. Please join the entire church family as we gather to hear what we believe God is calling us to do over the next two years. Pastor Paul will lead us in teaching and preaching as we seek to understand God’s direction for Northwest.
For the next 5 weeks, please commit to being present for the church-wide Bible study (including youth through adults) at 9:00 am followed by the worship service at 10:30 am. We believe God is asking us to go Beyond as a church body, and we want you to be part of it. Please join your church family for this 5-week kickoff!
- Women’s Ministry Book Club – Ladies, we’re excited to announce our next Women’s Ministry Book Club selection: Fervent: A Woman’s Battle Plan to Serious, Specific, and Strategic Prayer by Priscilla Shirer. In Fervent, Priscilla Shirer encourages us to move beyond simply praying about what is happening around us and learn to pray strategically about the battles we face in our lives. Our goal is to grow together as women, deepen our prayer lives, and discover the power of fervent, intentional prayer.
Book Club Dates: Tuesday, October 20 and Tuesday, November 17. Time: 5:45-7:15 PM. Join us in person at Northwest, or join virtually. Sign up in the foyer. Purchase your book on Amazon—currently around $9.99—or choose the audiobook option. For more information see Lorie Hegwood or Connie Wilhite-Scott.
