Women's Bible Study Continues This Tuesday
All NECC women are invited to join Women's Bible Study this fall as they tackle the book of Revelation! Few books in the Bible feel as intimidating as this last one! Two thousand years ago, John’s Revelation was circulated and read aloud among seven churches in Asia Minor. Those who heard the letter understood it and drew encouragement from its message. The same will be true for us today!
Women's Bible Study will meet at 9:30am each Tuesday morning this fall and dig in, verse-by-verse using Jen Wilkin's new study—Revelation: Eternal King, Everlasting Kingdom! If you have any questions or would like to learn more, please contact Kathy Buettner.
Advent Sunday Morning Study Begins This Sunday, November 24th
Throughout the Advent season, the Discipleship team will be leading a study on Tish Harrison Warren's Advent: The Season of Hope. The study will be taking place from 9:15am to 10:15am and run through Sunday, December 15th. This Sunday, November 24th they will be discussing Chapter 5.
Children & Youth Christmas Program Rehearses Wednesday Evenings at 6:30pm
We are excited to begin rehearsing for the Children & Youth Christmas Program! Song lyrics and program details may be found in this Shared Google Folder. Listen to songs on this YouTube Playlist. We are still in need of a few more angels as well as important behind-the-scenes roles! Please contact Pastor Kelly or Melinda Alberty if you/your child is interested in participating.
NaperCov's 2024 Christmas Season Calendar
Next month, we will have a number of opportunities to spend time together as a congregation and to serve our community as we prepare to celebrate the birth of our savior. More details about each of these events can be found in our church's various emails and our Sunday morning announcements.
Hanging of the Greens After Service on Sunday, December 1st
Congregants are invited to stay after service on Sunday, December 1st to help decorate our church for the Advent and Christmas seasons. We've greatly appreciated turnout in past years, given that many hands make light work. Additionally, lunch will be provided for volunteers. If you have any questions, please contact Sneha Augusthy or Shirley Gustafson.
"Let It Be Christmas" Performance on Saturday, December 14th at 11am
The Community Life Team has purchased 40 tickets for the Saturday, December 14th production of “Let it Be Christmas." This rock-opera nativity story uses the music of The Beatles to tell the Christmas story, with NaperCov's own Mark Johnson having a starring role. The 11am performance will take place at Community Christian Church (1635 Emerson Lane) in Naperville. After the production, church friends have an option to eat lunch together at the Patio Restaurant (4400 Fox Valley Center Drive) in Aurora.
The cost for each play ticket is $17.00, while the cost of lunch will be the expense of each attendee. If you'd like to purchase tickets, please RSVP to Patti Fey. Reservations will be on a first come/first serve basis. Payment should be made in cash or a check made out to Patti Fey. Any remaining tickets will be available for purchase before or after our church services on Nov 24th, Dec 1st, and Dec 8th.
Summer Camp Registration Now Open
Registration for summer camp at both Covenant Harbor and Covenant Point opened on Tuesday, November 12th. Some programs and weeks fill up very quickly, so it is important to register soon if you have a preferred week. You can learn more about each camp's options below:
Covenant Harbor: covenantharbor.org/summer-camps
Covenant Point: cpbc.com/summer
At NaperCov, we believe every kid should be able to go to camp. If the financial cost would present a barrier to your child attending, please reach out to the pastors to learn more about financial scholarships available through both NaperCov and the camps.
Accepting Donations for Refugee Welcome Kit Now Through December 15th
For this holiday season, NaperCov will be working with World Relief to provide a Welcome Kit to a family seeking refuge in DuPage County. As the family move into a new home, they will lack a lot of start-up supplies. We hope to provide welcome by helping them settle into our neighborhood. Items should be in new or like new condition. Please sign up using this link. Furniture donations are also welcome. Contact outreach@napercov.org with any questions.
