Welcome to Northcliffe Welcome! We are so glad you chose to join us today in worshiping our mighty and wonderful God! We offer two services at 9 a.m. and 10:30 a.m. We hope that you will take the time to fill out our digital Connection Card. We would love to send you some more information on our church and our ministries. We hope you enjoy your time here and we look forward to seeing you back next week.

LOVE Here at Northcliffe, we desire to help you to love God personally. A relationship with God should not be based upon your parents or friends. Instead, it is your personal desire to have a lasting relationship with God that matters.

LIVE Once you have made that commitment, Northcliffe is here to help you live your life on purpose and with intentionality. We offer several ways for followers of Jesus to be intentional in their spiritual development. You can learn more by going to our website: www.northcliffeonline.org/about-us.

SERVE From random acts of kindness to sharing your story of your relationship with Jesus, you are called to serve others passionately. To help you, we offer several opportunities to use your talents to further the kingdom of God. Here at Northcliffe, we believe that we are called to serve, not to sit. Let us help you discover a place where you can serve others in the name of Jesus!

OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD This year we are doing something a little different. We are going to collect donations through the spring and summer and then in the fall we are going to have a church wide packing party. Today, there will be two ways to drop off your donation: 1) We will have collection bins in the main lobby as we gather for service. 2) We will have a drive by donation drop off at the Family Life Center from 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM For a list of great ideas of what to put in the OCC boxes visit: Samaritan’s Purse website @ www.samaritanspurse.org/occ or Northcliffe’s website @ www.northcliffeonline.org/northcliffe-occ which also includes homemade ideas for the boxes.

No matter how you chose to donate, or if you choose to donate, we want to give you a free gift as a thank you for your donation. We want to give you a copy of "Coronavirus and Christ" by John Piper. These were generously donated to Northcliffe by Crossway and we would like to get them to you.
