Manage episode 435399767 series 3532801
Jeff and Joshua discuss the launch of a new Thursday evening service at NCC. This service is designed to meet the spiritual needs of community members with weekend commitments. The service will mirror the structure of Sunday worship, including sermons and communion meditation, but with an acoustic worship style to suit the evening ambiance. Children's programs will be fully operational, ensuring a nurturing environment for young attendees. The church emphasizes the biblical foundation for non-Sunday services, citing examples from the New Testament of believers gathering on various days. The church community is encouraged to embrace this new opportunity to grow spiritually and extend a hand to those who might benefit from a midweek service.
