VBS @ NRPC The Greatest Commandment is Love will be held August 8-11,
5:45-7:15pm. Bible stories, music, art, games, food and fellowship for all ages. 

​Mens Bible Study For several decades, a group of NRPC men have met from 7:00am to 8:00am on Friday mornings to discuss the upcoming Sunday’s Gospel passage, share what is going on in their lives, and enjoy a healthful sausage biscuit (pre-Covid).
Covid forced the group to Zoom, where we have thrived and intend to continue. Due to the recent departures of stalwarts like Dick Christensen and John Minor, recruits are needed to fill our ranks with men who appreciate a friendly ear, lots of free advice, a warmup to Sunday’s sermon, or a good laugh. Dick still provides the farm report with his knowledge of plants, birds and bees, and the W-2ers (those gainfully employed and not drawing Social Security) regale us with tales of the workplace. We all take a moment to share weekly updates, and then we discuss the upcoming Gospel passage.
You don’t need to be a Bible scholar, or even an NRPC member. Just someone with a Zoom app and interest in connecting. The atmosphere is casual, the jokes are lame, but the relationships and support are terrific.
Have we piqued your interest? Care to give us a try? Contact me for the Zoom login information, and the list of Gospel passages to be discussed. You might just make a new friend and jump-start your weekend. Friday mornings: 7:00am to 8:00am sharp. Set your alarm.

​Tuesday Morning Bible Study will begin on May 24th, at 10am. We’ll meet on the 2nd and 4th Tuesday mornings of each month in the FMB. We’ll get to know the Jesus in Matthew as we get to know each other. Bring your favorite Bible, your desire to know the risen Lord, and your compassion for one another. We’ll learn together what the scriptures say about becoming the disciples Jesus calls us to be amidst the conflict in our world. Contact Candy Tedrick  for more information.
