EXPANDING HOW WE CELEBRATE THE GOSPEL
Throughout the last year we have been monitoring our local COVID data points and discerning what are the best options for our community. As we have emerged from the winter COVID surge and a greater number of vaccines have been administered, we'd like to set the table for as many people as possible to celebrate the Gospel with us. Starting the weekend after Easter we will no longer require registration for either of our services and during our 10:30am service masks will be suggested, but not required. Our 9:00am service will remain the same with masks required, our online community will continue to gather at 10:30am via the live stream and our children's ministry will continue to ask for reservations that will be available at northwestbible.com/children. We appreciate your prayers, feedback and encouragement as we have been navigating this pandemic season.

EASTER CELEBRATION
We will have the joy of celebrating Easter on Sunday, April 4th at 10 am either outdoors on our campus or the location of your choice via a live stream on Facebook. We will have a place prepared for you and your family for all ages, nursery through preschool will be able to check-in starting at 9:30am into Children's Ministry and our kindergarten through middle school students will have the opportunity to worship with their family and then hear a special Easter message with Pastor Joel in the sanctuary. Check out all the details, make your reservation, and share this with friends, family, and neighbors at northwestbible.com/easter.


GOOD FRIDAY SERVICES
We will have a time of reflection and communion on Good Friday, April 2nd at 5:30 and 7pm. Childcare will be available for our nursery through preschool children. Children in kindergarten and older are welcome in the service with their family. Please make your reservation at northwestbible.com/easter or join us from any location via a live stream at 7pm.


BAPTISM SUNDAY
We will have the opportunity to celebrate baptism on Sunday, April 11th in our services. If you are interested in being baptized, please register here by Monday, April 5th. If you would be willing to help prepare the sanctuary for baptism click here to let our staff know that help is available.


CONNECTION GROUPS
If you'd like to find a place to connect with others and unpack the truths taught on Sunday at a deeper level, then a connection group would be a great place to start. Find a group that meets on a day of the week and location that works for you at northwestbible.com/connect. We have groups meeting both in person or via ZOOM. If you'd like assistance with finding a group that works best for you, please let us know here.

GLOBAL TRAINING NETWORK
Due to your generous donations during Giving Tuesday and your willingness to contribute to the mission, we are able to fulfill a special request from our GTN pastors in Africa. They will be receiving a commercial printer, which will allow them to provide materials as they work diligently towards their mission of training up pastors. As they receive this gift, would you be praying for each of our five pastors? You can review their names and planted churches here.

CREATIVE ARTS VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITY
Do you love to worship with music? Do you have an ear for quality sound? We are asking that God would bring us some volunteers that could be a part of our tech crew on Sunday mornings. Specifically, we are in need of a technical director once per month that is able to arrive early, prepare the sanctuary for worship and guide the tech crew through the morning. The ability to troubleshoot with grace and a calm spirit are key. We are also in need of an additional sound technician to mix the tracks, instruments and vocals on a Sunday morning. Training is provided for each role. If you find yourself prompted to check out this opportunity, click here.
