NLC Connect - Jan. 30, 2026

January 30th, 2026

connect with God's Word

NLC Kids and Youth gathered in the gym for a fun and meaningful missions service with Otto and Marjorie Ekk! They taught us what missionaries do, how we can support them, and how kids and youth can be part of God’s big mission too. Our kids and youth also made colorful cards for the Gutierrez family, missionaries to Portugal, and practiced how to pray for their family. It was a great day of learning, creating, and sharing God’s love!
