Congratulations to Our Seniors!
Senior Sunday was May 17th! We celebrated 7 seniors this year; Conagher, Ian, Khloe, Joshua, Shanelle, Mason, and Elizabeth. You're encouraged to write a card or otherwise congratulate and encourage them in their accomplishment and new phase of life. We had an all-church meal, catered by Mario's, in the gym to honor them. We ask God's blessings on each one as they enter this next phase of their life.

2026 NPCOC Youth Group Events
Hello families! With the start of the new year, I wanted to share what the 2026 calendar looks like in broad strokes. Below, you'll find a list of activities from now until the end of the year.
Please keep in mind that this calendar does not include everything, such as "Family Fun Day," "Trunk or Treat," or "Family Camp," or other events that aren't specifically driven by youth ministry. Also keep in mind that I'm leaving space for things to come up, like areawides hosted by other churches and opportunities to participate in church things. So, let this be a guide to the year, but also look for more detailed and accurate information as the year goes on.
I'll be sending out concrete dates for activities as part of our 3-month look-aheads and our monthly calendars. If you have any questions, you can ask me or the youth deacon.
