Hey NCCers!

This year, we're hosting SIX Eggstravaganzas in DC and Northern VA!
Last year at our five Eggstravaganzas we hosted 13,529 people, and kids went home with 48,800 eggs!
This year promises to be even bigger as we add a SIXTH Eggstravaganza at Garrison Elementary in DC.
It will take an army of people to bless our communities with these FREE Easter egg hunts complete with games, prizes, the Easter Bunny, and much more! Each Eggstravaganza is custom-tailored to a particular community. What a great opportunity to serve in our neighborhoods, meet new neighbors, and provide a fun and festive Eastertime celebration for all.
Sign up to serve. We need you!

Good Friday marks the betrayal, arrest, crucifixion, and death of Jesus. It's a time to reflect on the sacrifice Jesus made as we anticipate the joy of Easter. Join us for a Good Friday service and communion celebration. All are welcome.

Child care will be available for nursery through kindergarten. Children first grade and older are invited to attend the service with their parents.
Child care space is limited; please register here. Specific details about child care are on the registration form.

Join us to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus!

" . . . the thing about Easter is that it is neither ethereal nor esoteric.
It’s about the real Jesus coming out of the real tomb and getting God’s real new creation under way."

The Rising is a movement of women awakening to the purpose and leadership potential God has hard-wired into them.

We've heard a lot in the news about refugees over the past few years. Folks fleeing their homes due to war, famine, and fear of persecution. What is it like to become a refugee? Where are refugees coming from? Why do they get settled in the United States?

National Community Church (NCC) takes a look at these questions, and others, by hearing from a newly resettled refugee friend and some local professionals intimately involved in the resettlement process. Come join us as we tackle things from a Christian perspective as we look and listen about the refugee reality. Open to everyone. 
Thursday, May 4, 7pm  at The Miracle Theatre.

St. Jerome called the Holy Land "the fifth Gospel." We will take a four-dimensional approach to Biblical study by focusing on it through historical, geographical, cultural, and spiritual lenses. By studying the Bible onsite with insight, we are able to re-enter our contemporary world better equipped to determine what it means for us today. We will dive into the story of Abraham in Beersheba, join the Exodus in the Wilderness of Zin, gaze on the battlefield of David and Goliath at the Valley of Elah, and walk with Jesus from Bethlehem to Nazareth to Galilee to Jerusalem.

September 1-11, 2017. Led by Pastor Heather Zempel and Pastor Dave Schmidgall. Stay tuned for details. Interested? Email Jodi to be put on the list for updates.
