CRAFTING TOGETHER ON FRIDAY, MARCH 3RD

An exciting new event will be happening the first Friday of every month at NSC.  The ladies of Creator's Hands will be hosting a craft night where everyone is invited to bring their craft projects to work on.  If you don't have a craft, but would like to learn one, there will be supplies and mentors to help you.  Occasionally, there will be a special speaker to demonstrate a craft.  This meeting will be called Crafting Together and will replace the first Tuesday of the month Creator's Hands meeting.  The third Tuesday of CH will continue.  This is the perfect time to invite a friend, neighbor, daughters, or grandchild to attend.  

The first meeting will take place on Friday, March 3rd from 6:00 - 8:00 pm.  Contact Diane Nelson with any questions at nelsond12@new.rr.com or 248.3213.

NEW WOMEN'S STUDY STARTS NEXT SUNDAY, MARCH 5TH

Drawing on her own hard-earned experiences, Susie shows readers how to 

overcome insecurities, busyness, and other obstacles in order to nurture their walk with God and focus on their gifts and passions on their unique God-assignment. With biblical insight and inspiring tones, this action-oriented guide will speak to every woman who has felt a nudge from God to engage with Him on a deeper level and to follow Him to the next place He has for her. 

— Discern the best use of your time and gifts

— Confidently pursue God’s unique desire for you

— Stretch your faith and deepen your impact

For questions regarding this study or to sign up, please contact the church office or Cindy Verschay at 715.577.8164.
