FAMILY MINISTRY
--FAMILY SUMMIT
On Friday, May 6th from 6-8pm we will host our second family summit! This summit is for our entire church family that will equip us to disciple the next generation in our homes and at church. In this second quarter we will identify practical ways to disciple our kids to shape their hearts and character, opposed to modifying their behavior and actions. Our children will have a fun night as knights and princesses with rotating stations of activities and pizza together. And our students will step into opportunities to serve that evening. It's going to be an amazing night of focusing on our potential influences on families, both our own and our church family. Mark your calendars and get registered here. If you'd like to attend online, there will be a live stream option at northwestbible.com.

Our children and our VBS volunteers are in for a wet and wild VBS experience this year with "Make Waves"! Kids will learn that what you do today can change the world around you.

We will be having child dedications on Sunday, May 22nd. Child dedication is a public commitment you make before God, your church, and your family. It means you, as parents, are partnering with God as you raise your children. The dedication service provides you with an opportunity to publicly express your desire to lead and spiritually nurture your child in cooperation with the Holy Spirit, so your child will develop a desire to love God and love others.
